COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: City Council
FROM: Interim City Manager Alex Posada
BY: Director of Public Works Brett Fulgoni
SUBJECT: Adoption of a Resolution Approving the Proposed Establishment of Limited Time Parking Zone on Airpark Drive
Description:
The City Council will consider approving the establishment of a limited-time parking zone on Airpark 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 Airpark Drive.
BACKGROUND:
Staff received a request to implement a limited -time parking zone along Airpark Drive.
This request stems from public safety concerns associated with vehicles parking for an extended period of time. The proposed measure entails an overnig ht parking restriction, aimed at prompting vehicle owners to seek alternative overnight parking arrangements.
A letter was sent to all the fronting businesses notifying them of the upcoming parking changes. The businesses were afforded the opportunity to express their opposition to the change. No communication expressing opposition was received.
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 authority 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:
2 1. Airpark Drive, 7 days a week, from 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM, along the easterly curb face, beginning at the curb return of the easterly curb ramp of the intersection of Airpark Drive and Fairway Drive and continuing 1,800 linear feet south.
2. Airpark Drive, 7 days a week, from 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM, along the westerly curb face, beginning at the curb return of the westerly curb ramp of the intersection of Airpark Drive and Fairway Drive and continuing 1,800 linear feet south.
Alternative(s)
City Council may elect to deny or modify the proposed permitted parking restriction.
Fiscal Considerations
The proposed parking restriction will require the installation of approximately 16 street poles and signs. The Public Works Departmen t has estimated the cost of the poles and signs to cost approximately $4,500 in staff time and materials.
Impact to the Community
Approximately 240 parking spaces will be limited during overnight hours. This parking restriction may cause any illegal campi ng and large vehicle parking to occur in another area of the City.
