COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Brett Fulgoni, Director of Public Works
DATE: May 5, 2026
SUBJECT: Adoption of Resolution Approving the Proposed Establishment of a Loading Zone on West Boone Street
Description:
The City Council will consider adopting a Resolution for the removal of angle parking and establishing a loading zone on West Boone Street between South Depot Street and South Railroad Avenue to alleviate recurring traffic congestion caused by semi -truck deliveries to 706 West Boone Street.
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 Loading Zone on West Boone Street between South Depot Street and South Railroad Avenue.
BACKGROUND:
Staff received a request from the Police Department to remove the existing angled parking on West Boone Street between South Depot Street and South R ailroad Avenue and replace it with an unrestricted loading zone. Currently, semi -trucks servicing ABC Supply Company, whose site lacks adequate on-site loading space, are required to stop and unload in the travel lane. When this occurs, vehicles are unable to maneuver around the trucks, resulting in traffic congestion and circulation issues along the corridor.
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 and recommends the establishment of a loading zone. The City Council has the authority to locate, establish, or eliminate loading zones within the City.
2 The loading zone recommended to be established is described as follows:
West Boone Street, begin at the back of curb return of the curb ramp located at the southwest corner of the South Depot Avenue and West Boone Street intersection and extend westerly for 235 feet.
Alternative(s)
The alternative to the recommended action would be to not approve the establishment of the loading zone.
Fiscal Considerations
The Public Works Department will be responsible for installing loading zone signage. Staff has estimated the cost of sign installation to be approximately $600 in staff time and materials. No yellow curb painting is required.
Impact on the Community
Removal of the angle parking will eliminate several on-street parking spaces along West Boone Street between South Depot Street and South Railroad Avenue. However, the change is expected to significantly reduce traffic congestion caused by semi -truck deliveries blocking the travel lane.
