COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT

TO: Mayor and City Council

FROM: Brett Fulgoni, Department Director of Public Works

DATE: May 5, 2026

SUBJECT: Adoption of a Resolution Approving a Proposed Establishment of a No Stopping Zone on West Boone Street and South Western Avenue

Description:

The City Council will consider adopting a Resolution approving the establishment of no stopping zones on both sides of the property driveways located at 1026 West Boone Street, to improve sight distance and reduce traffic safety conflicts at the driveway aprons.

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 no stopping zones on West Boone Street and South Western Avenue.

BACKGROUND:

A request was received from the property manager of Los Adobes de Maria, to establish no stopping zones on both sides of the property driveways on West Boone Street and South Western Avenue. Vehicles are frequently parked close to the driveway aprons, which limits sight distance and makes it difficult for drivers exiting the site to see oncoming traffic without encroaching into the travel lanes. There are currently no recorded traffic collisions associated with either driveway location.

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 no stopping zones and recommends their establishment. The City Council has the authority to locate, establish, or eliminate no stopping zones within the City.

2 The no stopping zones recommended to be established are described as follows:

 West Boone Street, approximately 20 linear feet of red curb on each side of the westerly property driveway of 1026 West Boone Street.
 South Western Avenue, approximately 20 linear feet of red curb on each side of the southerly property driveway of 1026 West Boone Street.

Alternative(s)
The alternative to the recommended action would be to not approve the establishment of the no stopping zones.

Fiscal Considerations
The Public Works Department will be responsible for painting the red curb. Staff has estimated the cost of red curb installation to be approximately $400 in staff time and materials.

Impact on the Community
Approximately three on-street parking spaces will be removed to improve sight distance and safety at the 1026 West Boone Street driveway aprons.
