Approving Parking Regulations on John Monego Court
Prepared by Gary Huisingh, Public Works Director
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
CITY CLERK
File #590 -20
This is the second reading of an ordinance introduced at the regularly scheduled City Council
meeting of July 17, 2012. This ordinance 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 of the street from a 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
will be covered by the current fiscal year Street Maintenance Operating Budget.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council waive the reading and adopt the Ordinance amending
the Dublin Traffic Code approving parking regulations on John Monego Court.

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.

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 made on John Monego Court. Since the receipt of
the initial request, Dublin Real Estate LLC made a subsequent request for two -hour parking on
the west side to accommodate potential customer parking. At the City Council meeting on July
17th, the property owner explained that large vehicles utilize the on- street parking along the west
side of the street in front of the dealerships, which blocks viability and prohibits customer
parking. 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. The 2 -hour parking limit
on the west side will prohibit long term parking while allowing for customer parking.
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 and 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. 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.
The City Council considered this matter on July 17, 2012, waived the reading and introduced the
ordinance (Attachment 1) approving parking regulations on John Monego Court.
