Thompson, Public Works Director ATTACHMENTS: 1) 2) Draft Ordinance Repealing Limited Parking Zone Location Maps Petition from Adjacent Businesses RECOMMENDATION: 1 ) 6) Open public hearing Receive Staff report and public comment Question Staff and the public Close public hearing and deliberate Waive reading and introduce ordinance repealing limited parking zones Approve No Parking Areas (15 Feet on Each Side of Drive Ways) for Sight Distance FINAd~CIAL STATEMENT: Approximately $650 to remove signs and green curb and to install red curb DESCRIPTION: At the City Council meeting of March 2, 1999, a petition (Exhibit 3) was received from Andrea Moros of Curtis PMC, which occupies a building located at 6591 Sierra Lane. The petition requests that the City remove a 2-hour parking zone located along their property frontage on the north side of Sierra Lane. Ms. Mokros also received written concurrence from Pacific Bell Mobile Sen, ices and Ewing Irrigation, which occupy the building on the opposite side of the street at 6640 and 6644 Sierra Lane (the old "Viacom" building). The on-site parking for the building occupied by Curtis PMC is not sufficient for the number of employees, and the on-street parking is, therefore, needed for the overflow. Staff researched the reasons for the original limited parking zones and found the following: The two-hour parking zone on the north side of the street was originally requested from Alameda County in 1981 by Bedford Properties on the basis that large trucks were parking along the curb and causing a sight distance problem. Since that time, the City has adopted an ordinance limiting trucks to two hour parking throughout the City, making the purpose for this specific two-hour parking zone superfluous. COPIES TO: Andrea Mokros, Curtis PMC Michael Housego, Pacific Bell Mobile Svcs. Stacy Nord, Ewing Irrigation ITEM NO. G:~agenmiscksierrapkg The 20-minute par'king zone on the south side of the street was originally requested by Viacom for customers conducting business at Viacom's office. Since the type of business occupying this building has changed, and the current occupants do not want to keep the limited parking zone, it is recommended that this curb also be available for normal parking. Both of these limited parking zones were originally adopted .by ordinance and must, therefore, also be repealed by ordinance. Staff recommends that the City Council conduct a public hearing, deliberate, waive the reading, and introduce the ordinance. A second public hearing will be needed for adoption. Staff also recommends that the City Council approve a No Parking Zone by installing 15 feet of red curb on each side of driveways along Sierra Lane to improve sight distance for vehicles exiting the driveways on this street. The 15 feet of red curb will be installed on each side of the following driveways: 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 6800 - 6840 Sierra Lane 6700 - 6680 Sierra Lane 6644 - 6640 Sierra Lane 6481 - 6465 Sierra Lane 6487 - 6483 Sierra Lane 6591 Sierra Lane Red curb exists at other locations along Sierra Lane for sight distance proposes.
