FINANCIAL STATEMENT:
The parking spaces are existing. A cost of approximately $300
would be incurred for posting the three spaces as towaway zones.
There are sufficient funds in the Street Maintenance Operating
Budget to cover this cost.
DESCRIPTION: At the time that the Regal Theater opened, Staff requested that
Hacienda Crossings make several striping and signing changes related to traffic flow and safety within the
shopping center. At the same time, three parking spaces were identified and marked specifically for police
vehicles. While a police vehicle can legally park in areas that would be No Parking Zones for other drivers,
these spaces enable the police to park conveniently and without obstructing other traffic.
Police personnel have noted that periodically someone will park in one of the designated police spaces,
typically when the parking lot is crowded. The City Council previously adopted resolutions which allow
enforcemem of the Vehicle Code within Hacienda Crossings; however, enforcement of restricted parking
spaces was not included in the scope of the resolution~s. The draft ordinance would permit police personnel

to issue citations to civilian vehicles found parked in a designated police space. Staff feels that public
safety within the center is improved by having these spaces readily available.
staffhas contacted RREEF, the firm which manages the shopping center, and has received their written
concurrence with this ordinance. A minor cost would be incurred for posting signing to indicate these
spaces as towaway zones. Staff recommends that the City Council conduct a public hearing, deliberate,
waive the reading, and introduce the ordinance.
