RESOLUTION NO. 2026-XXXX
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN MARCOS REPEALING RESOLUTIONS 2002-5865 AND 2022-9034 (LIMITING CONSTRUCTION AND EXCAVATION WORKING HOURS WITHIN THE SAN MARCOS BOULEVARD RIGHT-OF-WAY AND PROVIDING A WAIVER PROCESS RELATING TO THE SAME) WHEREAS, on May 14, 2002, the City Council of the City of San Marcos (City) adopted Resolution 2002-5865 which specified that work within the San Marcos Boulevard public right-of-way, from Knoll Road to the westerly city limits, which necessitated a lane closure, in either direction, occur during night-time off-peak hours (7:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.) or on weekends; and WHEREAS, City Council enacted Resolution 2002-5865 in an effort to address traffic congestion and delays resulting from work necessitating a lane closure on San Marcos Boulevard due to the significant residential and commercial growth and increased traffic in the City; and WHEREAS, due to the City’s various routine maintenance and repair projects which could potentially require lane closures to perform the work, Resolution 2002-5865 was amended on June 28, 2022 by Resolution 2022-9034 to provide a permanent waiver for this type of work during the weekdays; and WHEREAS, work relating to City Capital Improvement Program (CIP) public works projects was not included as part this permanent waiver, therefore City staff have been required to bring waivers to City Council for approval on a project-by-project basis; and WHEREAS, these CIP public works project waivers have become a common and frequent item as it is more cost-effective and time-efficient to complete these projects during typical standard daytime working hours; and WHEREAS, with advances in traffic signal timing, detection, and coordination software and technologies traffic congestion and delays on San Marcos Boulevard due to construction related activities can be mitigated; and WHEREAS, Resolution 2002-5865 and Resolution 2022-9034 are deemed to be no longer necessary, and the City Council now desires to formally repeal each of the same in their entirety; and WHEREAS, the City Council declares that the City Manager, or their designee, continues to have the ability to review and require projects at their discretion that are deemed to substantially impact traffic conditions along San Marcos Boulevard occur during night time off-peak hours or weekends on a project-by-project basis.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of San Marcos hereby:
The foregoing recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein by this reference as though set forth in full.
Resolutions 2002-5865 and 2022-9034, adopted by the City Council on May 14, 2002 and June 28, 2022, respectively, are hereby each repealed in their entirety.
