Thompson, Public Works Director SUBJECT: ATTACHMENTS: 1) 2) RECOMMENDATION: 1) 2) 3) 4)" 5) 6) ~ Draft Urgency Ordinance Location Map Open Public Hearing Receive Staff presentation Receive public testimony Close public hearing Deliberate Waive reading and adopt urgency ordinance repealing 120 feet of two-hour parking zone and establishing loading zone on Scarlett Court in front of Dublin Auto Center (requires 4/5 vote to adopt). FINANCIAL STATEMENT: Sufficient funds are budgeted in the Street Maintenance Operating Budget to cover the cost of curb painting and/or posting signs. DESCRIPTION: Two-hour parking currently exists on the north side of Scarlett Court in front of the Dublin Auto Center dealership (Dodge, Nissan, Volkswagen and Hyundai). On the south side of Scarlett Court, on-street parking is prohibited. Dealership customers and others use the two-hour parking space on a daily basis to park their vehicles. The dealership property does not have sufficient on-site space for unloading transport trucks, which forces these trucks to double-park on the north side of Scarlett Court and block the travel lane in the westbound direction. These double-parked trucks create a traffic safety concern on Scarlett Court. It is proposed to repeal 120 feet of two-hour parking zone between two driveways in front of the Dublin Auto Center (see attached Location Map) and replace it with a "loading zone" for unloading the transports without obstructing travel lanes on Scarlett Court. It is also proposed to equip this loading zone with signs that allow for unlimited parking on Saturdays, Sundays, and Holidays, as transport deliveries are usually made on regular business days. Staffhas met with Mr. Michael Loux of the Dublin Auto Center COPIES TO: G:\AGENMISC\loading zone scarlett ct.doc Michael C. Loux, Dublin AutQnC_~!!ter ITEM NO. 6fJ t and received verbal concurrence with the establishmentofthis flexible loading zone that will allow transport trucks to unload vehicles safely during the week while also providing on-street parking for customers on weekends. The other car dealerships in Dublin either have an on-street loading zone or have sufficient on-site space for unloading the transports. Under the Dublin Municipal Code, a loading zone is to be established by ordinance. Staff recommends that this loading zone be established by urgency ordinance under Government Code Section 36937(b) on the basis that the loading zone is needed to alleviate a safety hazard. A 4/5 vote is required for adoption of an urgency ordinance on the basis of health and safety issues under this Code section. Staff recommends that the City Council conduct a public hearing, waive the reading, and adopt the urgency ordinance repealing 120 feet of two-hour parking zone and establishing a loading zone on the north side of Scarlett Court in front of the Dublin Auto Center.
