Receive Staff presentation and public testimony. Question Staff and the public. Close public hearing and deliberate. Waive reading and INTRODUCE ordinance. FINANCIAL STATEMENT: Cost of the passenger loading zone only (white curb and signing) is approximately $300. Sufficient funds are budgeted in the Street Maintenance Operating Budget to cover this cost. DESCRIPTION: At the December 10, 1990, meeting, the City Council held a public hearing regarding proposed improvements along Amarillo Road in front of Nielsen School. A resolution was adopted establishing short no- parking zones adjacent to the school driveways for visibility, and establishing an on-street handicapped parking space in front of the school. The City Council also introduced an ordinance which would establish a passenger loading zone along the frontage of the school. At the January 14, 1991, meeting, it was brought to Staff's attention that Nielsen School plans to begin a daycare program in the near future, and that parents dropping off children at the daycare center would be required to escort the children to the door of the facility. Vehicle Code regulations pertaining the passenger loading zones do not permit a driver to leave the vehicle. The City Council continued the discussion of this item to the meeting of January 28th in order to allow time to contact the school for further information on the daycare program. Staff contacted Diane Griffiths, Principal, who felt that the majority of parents using the daycare center would drop off children between 7:00 and 8:00 a.m. and pick them up between 5:00 and 6:00 p.m., and that the parents would be able to use the parking lot at those times of day. However, Ms. Griffiths also stated that the passenger loading zones would only be needed during peak periods, and that after-school sports groups would benefit from being allowed to park along the curb. Ms. Griffiths suggested that the time specified on the passenger loading zone signing be 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on school days only. The existing passenger loading zone north of the driveway specifies an 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. time frame. In order to avoid confusion and enforcement problems, Staff recommends that both the new and existing passenger loading zones reflect the same times. Therefore, the draft ordinance has been revised to indicate the 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. time for both locations. This revision is significant enough to require that the ordinance be re-introduced. Staff recommends that the City Council conduct a public hearing, deliberate, waive the reading, and INTRODUCE the ordinance establishing passenger loading zones on Amarillo Road. ::::-::~~---------::::::-::~--::::------------------------------ Diane Griffiths, Nielsen School . .
