To: The Honorable City Council From: Kenneth C. Gilbert, Director of Public Works Date: September 8, 2003 (Council Meeting 9- 17 -03) Subject: Resolution No. 2003- Rescinding Resolution No. 2001 -1920 Pertaining to "Permit Only" Parking Restrictions on Summerglen Court, and Establishing Revised "Permit Only" Parking Restrictions on Said Street BACKGROUND In December of 2001, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2001 -1920 establishing a "One -Hour Parking Zone - Permits Exempt" on Summerglen Court (see Exhibit 1) . This action was taken in response to complaints regarding "High School parking" on that street. Previously similar parking restrictions were imposed on Willow Springs Drive and other neighboring streets south of Mountain Trail Street. The efforts which preceded the establishment of parking restrictions on Summerglen Court included attempts to determine if there was any interest on the part of residents on the streets to the east of Summerglen Court, to participate in this "Permit Only" parking program. It is understood that the imposition of parking restrictions often causes the "parking problem" to migrate to neighboring streets. In that little or no interest was expressed, these new parking restrictions were limited to Summerglen Court. DISCUSSION A. Complaint / Request / Petition Certain residents of Summerglen Court have observed that the current parking restriction is not very effective. The problems noted include: • Parking of non - resident vehicles at time when the one hour summerglen_0309 000002 Summerglen Court: Permit Only Parking September 8, 2003 Page 2 restriction is not in effect [currently the One -Hour parking restriction is in effect between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., Monday thru Friday]; • Parking of non - resident vehicles for less than one hour; and • Staging of vehicles (driver in the car) waiting to pick -up passengers. It is the view of some that the only way to prevent non- resident drivers from parking and staging on Summerglen Court is to install signs which would read "NO STOPPING ANYTIME - Permits Exempt ". Those concerned contacted the Public Works Department. A Petition was prepared to enable those parties to verify that their neighbors were in support of taking this action. The signed petition is attached as Exhibit 1. B. Guest Permits As requested by the sponsors of this proposal, the petition requests that the number of Annual Guest Permits be increased from one to FIVE. The Procedures made part of the attached Resolution provide for FIVE Annual Guest Permits per year. C. Fiscal Impact The cost to implement a change to the parking restrictions on Summerglen Court is generally summarized as follows: Description Expense ($) • Signs [6 ea x $40] 240 • Labor [4 hrs. x $50 /hr] 200 Total 440 D. Pros and Cons This is a unique request in response to a unique problem. The PROS and CONS which could be cited with regard to taking this action include the following: Pros: • Provides a parking restriction which is believed to be adequate to prevent past problems. Cons: • Eliminates public parking on this public street. No one summerglen 0309 000003 Summerglen Court: Permit Only Parking September 8, 2003 Page 3 but residents and their guests would be allowed to park on this public street. • Applies all day, every day, including holidays and week- ends when there is no School activity. • Creates an expectation on the part of Summerglen residents that this "24 -7" parking restriction would be regularly and routinely enforced. • Creates a demand for a "higher- than - normal" level of municipal service. Routine and regular enforcement of this parking restriction would result in a level of service to this street which would be far higher that that enjoyed by the average citizen of Moorpark. • Applies to delivery trucks, service vehicles, utility company vehicles, etc. E. Other Options Other options the City Council could consider include: 1. Take no action; 2. Change the restriction to NO PARKING ANYTIME - Permits Exempt; and 3. Change the restriction to NO PARKING 7 A.M. TO 11 P.M. Monday thru Friday - Permits Exempt. F. Resolution Attached as Exhibit 2 is a Resolution, which if adopted, will implement the revised parking restrictions requested in the Petition (Exhibit 1). STAFF RECOMMENDATION Direct staff as deemed appropriate.
