RESOLUTION NO.
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. 22451 KNOWN AS THE MASTER PARKING SCHEDULE RESOLUTION TO ESTABLISH A TIMED NO PARKING ZONE ON WATKINS DRIVE.
WHEREAS, the Public Works Department received a request from the University Neighborhood Association to consider elimination of nighttime (8:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m.) on-street parking along the west side of Watkins Drive between Blaine Street and Valencia Hill Drive to better align with the University Neighborhood Plan which envisioned the implementation of time-restricted parking in this area; and WHEREAS, the Watkins Drive restriping project recently installed a curbside two-way cycle track, buffer, and adjacent parking lane along the west side of Watkins Drive between Blaine Street and Valencia Hill Drive; and WHEREAS, the striped parking lane (situated between the bike buffer area and southbound travel lane) currently allows parking at all times except within segments equipped with diagonal striping and posted parking restriction signs such as areas adjacent to driveways to aid in ingress/egress movements and visibility of approaching traffic; and WHEREAS, due to potential impacts to adjacent University of California at Riverside (UCR) facilities situated along the west side of Watkins Drive and students at the UCR campus and to balance the needs of the residents and UCR, the Public Works Department is proposing establishment of an overnight parking restriction between the hours of 11:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. daily; and WHEREAS, the proposed restriction will aid in deterring noise and illegal/illicit activity associated with late night and early morning on-street parking and minimize impacts to residents while ensuring UCR facility employees, patrons, and students are not displaced during typical school and business hours; and WHEREAS, the proposed restriction would apply to all segments of the parking; and WHEREAS, on January 5, 2022, the Transportation Board unanimously approved staff’s recommendation to establish the proposed Timed No Parking zone on the designated segment of Watkins Drive.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Riverside, California, as follows:
Section 1: The recitals set forth above are incorporated herein by reference.
Section 2: That the Master Parking Schedule is hereby amended by establishing a “No Parking between the hours of 11:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. Daily” zone on the west side of Watkins Drive from Blaine Street to Valencia Hill Drive.
Section 3: That the provisions of this resolution shall be operative only when signs are erected on that portion of the street set forth in Section 2 above, giving notice of the parking limitations or prohibitions herein established.
Section 4: The provisions of this amendment shall be operative as of the date of adoption of this resolution.
ADOPTED by the City Council this _______ day of ________________, 2022. ______________________________
