The shoppmg center has two main acccss driveways, onc on Dublin Boulcvard and thc other on Myrtle Drive. Some of the stores at this shoppmg center are fronled on Myrtle Drive and located imme(hately south of the dnve"ay along Ihls street. Owners of these storcs recently contacted the City to express concerns ahout large commercial vchiclcs parking on Myrtle Drive in front of the stores for extended periods of time including vehicles that belong to residents from the adjacent neighborhoods located on the north side of Dublin Boulevard. They requested the City to prohibit parking at this lueation lor large commercial vehicles to ensure that the view of their stores is not blocked from Myrtle Drive, as this can be detrimental to their busmesses. (A letter from husiness uwners IS mcluded as Attachment 3 ) In response to this request, City Staff conducted a comprehensive review of field conditions at thIs location. There is approximatcly 170 feet of curb space available for parking on the east Side of Myrtle Drive fronting stores at the Dublin Corners Shopping Center This curb space can accommodate on-street parking for up to seven vehicles. Although the shopping center was designed to mclude suffiCient on-site parkmg spaces to accommodate pruJected parkmg demand for the center, provision of the additional off- site parking spaces on Myrtle Drive will help supplement the existing parking supply wlthm the shopping ITEM NO. 5.1 COPIES TO: ({"\ lRAFFJ(.'\N(J Pnl'killg\(Jg.~t _"0 pfll'kin~_ Mwtle.dnc \GbL. c.. center, especially during busy holiday seasons. This on-street parking on Myrtle Dnve was not intended for storage of oversized vehIcles. Although Myrtle Drive is a privatcly owned street, Ordinance No 9-00, which was ad{Jpted hy the City Council on April 18, 2000, gives the City the authonty to enforce the Calilllrnia Vehicle Code within the HacIenda CrosslTIgs Shoppmg Center including traffic regulations on Myrtle Drive.

Larger non-commercial vehicles such as Sport Ul1hty Vehicles (SUVs) have standard exterior dimensions that fit into this length/height restnetion, hence allowing this parking restriction to be practicaL Staff contacted the property management company for ilie shopping center (ANB Property CorporatIOn) and received their concurrence to implement this parkmg restnctlOn. ln addition, Staff recommends that 280 feet of existing parking along the east Side of Myrtle Drive between the shopping center dnveway and Dublin Boulevard he prohihlted and designated as a "Tow Away" L.One.

We have a situation where large container & trailer trucks are parking for extended periods of time on Myrtle Drive. The size of their vehicles blocks the visibility of our stores. Various trucks park for hours at a time, some even over nights and weekends. We have enclosed some photos for your perusal. We do not waut to see Myrtle drive become a "Truck Stop" Not only is it a sore sight to see in tbis nice commercial area in Dublin, but it will surely become detrimental to our businesses. We respectfully propose that "NO TRUCK PARKING" signs be posted along Myrtle Drive. Thank you for your kind consideration.
