FOR THE COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 7, 2024
COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: City Council
FROM: Interim City Manager Alex Posada
BY: Director of Public Works Brett Fulgoni
SUBJECT: Adoption of a Resolution to Approve the Establishment of Limited - Time Parking Zone on Fairway Drive
Description:
The City Council will consider approving the establishment of a limited-time parking zone on Fairway Drive.
Environmental Notice: The activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental review is required.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Resolution establishing a limited-time parking zone on Fairway Drive.
BACKGROUND:
Staff received a request to implement a limited -time parking zone along Fairway Drive.
This request stems from public safety concerns associated with vehicles parking for an extended period of time. The proposed measure entails an overnight parking restric tion, aimed at prompting vehicle owners to seek alternative overnight parking arrangements.
DISCUSSION:
Per City Council Resolution No. 2061 and CAM 63 -15, a Traffic Committee was formed to “be responsible for the review, approval or denial, and recommendations to City Council on all matters and requests relating to traffic circulation and safety within the public right-of-way.” The Traffic Committee has reviewed the request for the limited-time parking zone and recommends the establishment of the limited -time parking zone to address safety concerns for the adjacent businesses. The City Council has the author ity to locate, establish, or eliminate limited-time parking zones within the City.
The limited-time parking zone recommended to be established is described as follows:
1. Fairway Drive, 7 days a week, from 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM, along the northerly curb face, beginning 1,200 linear feet west of the intersection of Skyway Drive and Fairway Drive, and continuing west for a length of 1,700 linear feet ending at the 2 curb return of the easterly curb ramp of the intersection of Fairway Drive and A Street.
2. Fairway Drive, 7 days a week, from 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM, along the southerly curb face, beginning at the curb return of the southwesterly curb ramp of the intersection of Skyway Drive and Fairway Drive , and continuing west for a length of 600 linear feet ending at the curb return of the easterly curb ramp of the intersection of Fairway Drive and Airpark Drive.
3. Fairway Drive, 7 days a week, from 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM, along the southerly curb face, beginning at the curb return of the westerly curb ramp at the intersection of Fairway Drive and Airpark Drive , and continuing west 2,100 linear feet west to the intersection of Fairway Drive and A Street.
Alternative
City Council may elect to deny or modify the proposed limited-time parking restriction.
Fiscal Considerations
The proposed parking restriction will require the installation of approximately 18 street poles and signs. The Public Works Department has estimated the cost of the poles and signs to be approximately $5,000 in staff time and materials.
Impact to the Community
Approximately 290 parking spaces will be limited during overnight hours. This parking restriction may cause any illegal camping and large vehicle parking to occur in another area of the City.
