FINANCIAL STATEMENT:
Minor cost (approximately $50) of installing red curb.
Sufficient funds have been budgeted in the Street
Maintenance Operating Budget for this purpose.
DESCRIPTION: It has come to Staff's attention that parked cars
block the view of oncoming traffic for drivers exiting the driveway of the Almond
Plaza Shopping Center which is nearest the Sizzler Restaurant. This shopping center
also contains other businesses such as the Payless Shoe Source, the Photo Shop, a
Chinese restaurant, and other businesses. While making a field study of this area,
Staff noted that there is 20 feet of existing red curb at the northern driveway
(near Sizzler); however, this amount is insufficient for sight distance purposes as
there is a curve in the street which contributes to the visibility problem.
In order to alleviate the visibility problem, Staff recommends installing a No
Parking zone between the service driveway (behind Sizzler) and the driveway nearest
the front of the Sizzler, a total distance of 70 feet (including the 20 feet already
red-curbed). The entire remaining frontage of the shopping center would remain
available for parking except for an existing 30 feet of red curb at a fire hydrant
near the Payless Shoe Source (see Location Map, Exhibit 2). The remaining space
102' in front of the center and 58' near Payless Shoe Source - will accommodate
approximately 7 to 8 vehicles. The owner of Almond Plaza Shopping Center has been
notified of Staff's proposal regarding the no parking zone and has no objection.
At various times of day, Staff has noted from one to four cars parked in the 102'
space between the two driveways and one to two cars parked north of the northern
driveway in the area which is proposed to be red-curbed. Additionally, Staff noted
that there are newspaper racks adjacent to this area. If the No Parking Zone is
installed, drivers wishing to purchase newspapers would need to pull into the
parking lot or park south of the Sizzler driveway. Almond Plaza and other nearby
shopping centers have adequate on-site parking space which does not appear to be
full.
It was also noted that the entire distance from Amador Valley Boulevard south to
driveway behind the Sizzler is already red-curbed but is not in the Traffic Code.
There is insufficient room for curb parking in this area; and Staff is proposing to
add it to the Traffic Code at this time; therefore, the resolution identifies a
total distance of 350 feet.
Staff recommends that the City Council conduct a public hearing, deliberate, and
adopt the resolution establishing the No Parking zone on the west side of Regional
Street.
