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

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

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.
