Home My WebLink About6.4 J Monego Ct Pking Reg��q OF DUe�y 19 �1,� \82 DATE: TO: FROM: SUBJECT: STAFF REPORT CITY COUNCIL July 17, 2012 Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers Joni Pattillo, City Manager&aaa_., � ax Approve Parking Regulations on John Monego Court Prepared by Gary Huisingh, Public Works Director EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: CITY CLERK File #590 -20 This item will consider revising the parking designation on John Monego Court to convert the west side of the street from unrestricted to a 2 -hour limited parking zone and to convert the east side of the street from no- parking to an unrestricted zone. The existing no- parking zones between Dublin Boulevard and the first driveway on the west side and the second driveway on the east side would remain. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The cost to replace the parking designation signage, remove the bicycle lane signage and markings, and remove and reinstall the two -way left -turn lane striping is estimated at $6,200 and funds are available in the current fiscal year Street Maintenance Operating Budget to complete the work, if directed. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council conduct the public hearing, deliberate, waive the reading and INTRODUCE an Ordinance Amending the Dublin Traffic Code Relating to Parking Regulations on John Monego Court. 4 %' Submitted By Director of Public Works DESCRIPTION: Reviewed By Assistant City Manager John Monego Court is a 52 -foot wide three lane roadway, including either a raised median or a two -way left -turn lane in the center. It serves the General Motors Auto Mall to the west and Dublin Corporate Center and Ulferts Center to the east. Currently, no parking is allowed on the west side of the street between Dublin Boulevard and the first driveway (Dublin Buick GMC). To •the south, parking is unrestricted, except for a no- parking zone within the cul -de -sac at the southern terminus. The entire length of the east side is a no- parking zone and includes a Class II bike lane. Page 1 of 2 ITEM NO. 6.4 In October 2011, the Planning Commission approved a 13,720 square -foot KIA Dealership, • which is currently under construction at 4300 John Monego Court within the greater General Motors Auto Mall. Dublin Real Estate LLC, the property owner, met with City staff to discuss their on- street parking concerns and they submitted a formal request for Staff to evaluate whether on- street parking changes can be madeon John Monego Court (Attachment 1). Since the receipt of Attachment 1, Dublin Real Estate LLC made a subsequent request for two -hour parking on the west side to accommodate potential customer parking. Currently, employees of the existing dealerships generally take up most of the on- street parking along the west side of the street in front of the dealerships Although 80 parking spaces will be included with construction of the new dealership, the purpose of the request is to open up the west side of the street for better visibility of the front row of vehicles on display and to provide closer parking for customers. Public Works staff has evaluated the initial and subsequent request and consulted with Economic Development staff regarding the two -hour parking designation. Staff concurs with the requests from Dublin Real Estate LLC. Staff believes that these changes will result in more attractive frontage for the auto mall area and that is reasonable that the City initiate these changes to promote economic development. To accommodate the request, the parking designation on the west side of the street southerly to the first commercial driveway would need to be converted from unrestricted to two -hour limited parking. Due to the limited width of the roadway, the bicycle lane would need to be removed in order to accommodate unrestricted parking on the east side of the street (Attachment 2). The existing bicycle lane, which only exists in the northbound direction, was included as part of the original roadway construction. It carries little to no bicycle traffic and is not part of a greater bicycle network since it serves a dead end street. Bicycle lanes are available on Dublin Boulevard for access to and from Ulferts Center and Dublin Corporate Center. Furthermore, despite the removal of the bicycle lane, bicyclists can still legally travel on John Monego Court. The section of John Monego Court between Dublin Boulevard and the first commercial driveway on the west side and the second commercial driveway on the east side of the roadway would remain a no- parking zone as this section contains a raised median, and the allowance of parking would result in a violation of the fire code with respect to clearance for fire truck access. A draft ordinance is included that would convert the west side of the street to a two -hour limited parking zone and the east side of the street to unrestricted parking (Attachment 3).

We have never seen any bikes ride down John Monego Ct in the 7 years we have been here. 2. We are adding 80 employee parking spaces on the new Kia lot but there are still several cars parking on the street & we would like to have it open for potential customers to park 3. It will improve the front row visibility of the dealership. Currently if you drive down John Monego the view of the dealerships is obstructed by the on street parking on the East side.
