DISCUSSION CALENDAR
REQUEST FOR SPEED HUMPS ON MANDALAY CT.
The city received a petition from residents of Mandalay Court requesting the installation of speed humps on their street. The petition and the roadway conditions on Mandalay Court, located between Tyler Street and Crest Avenue, were evaluated for alignment with the City's Speed Hump Program. The petition indicated that 32 out of 35 residents (91%) on Mandalay Court support the installation of speed humps, which exceeds the minimum requirement of 70% resident approval. Notably, there were no signatures from residents opposing the installation. City staff investigated the speeds, traffic volumes, and street layout. The assessment of Mandalay Court in comparison to the City’s established guidelines for speed humps revealed that 6 out of 8 criteria were met. However, since the policy requires all 8 criteria to be satisfied, Mandalay Court does not qualify for the installation of speed humps according to the City -approved policy . Thus, City staff’s recommendation was to deny the speed hump request and install centerline striping and targeted spot police enforcement instead. Five individuals spoke in opposition to the city staff's recommendation to deny the speed hump request. One e-comment in opposition, and two calls were received in opposition.

EXTENSION OF NO PARKING LOADING ZONE- SIXTH STREET
The Public Works Department has received a request from business owners near The Mark development to extend a n existing No Parking Loading Zone east of the shared alley serving 3615 Main St, Ste #103; 3700 6th St; 3615 Main St, Ste #100; 3643 Main St; and 3653 Main St. The extension will add 40 feet to the existing 30 -foot zone, totaling 70 feet for loading activities. The loading zone will be enforceable from 6:00 AM to 5:00 PM daily, allowing for safe parking for delivery and moving trucks while providing additional on- street parking for patrons after hours. Currently, a 30 -foot No Parking Loading Zone and two paid parking spaces are often used by customers, blocking access for trucks. Without sufficient loading space, moving trucks and delivery trucks often park next to fire lanes for extended periods, obstructing both parking and two -way traffic in the alley. By extending the No Parking Loading Zone to 70 feet and maintaining the same hours, access for delivery trucks will improve and circulation in the a lley will be safer while allowing curbside parking after hours. Four individuals spoke in opposition to the city staff's recommendation. One e-comment in opposition, one email in opposition, and one call was received in opposition.
Following the discussion, a new motion was made to have the planning department and the owner of The Mark consider other solutions. Motion was moved by Vice Chair T.
Madary, seconded by Board Member J.Trinh. The motion passes unanimously with Chair J. Bulinski, Vice Chair T. Madary, Board Members J. Trinh, K. Brown, I. Carrillo, and C. Collins, voting yes.
