Ti.l..1 l- 1� AGENDA REPORT PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION CITY OF MOORPARK Parks and Recreation Commission Mary K. Lindley, Director of Community Services May 25, 1997 (June 2 Commission Meeting) SUBJECT: Consider Parking at Arroyo Vista Community Park Background At the Commission's May meeting, staff was asked to provide additional information regarding parking facilities at Arroyo Vista Community Park (AVCP), and in particular, the feasibility of parking along the lower portion of the access road. In addition, staff was asked to solicit comments from the City's Public Works Director and Moorpark Police. The access road from Tierra Rejada Road to the first parking lot is posted "no stopping" on both sides. As the access road progresses down through the Park, it remains "no stopping" to a point approximately thirty feet east of the driveway of parking lot 2 on the attached map (the signs have not been reposted since the road was paved). The parking restrictions were adopted by the City Council in an Ordinance. At the May 5 Commission Meeting, staff suggested that the Commission recommend allowing parking along the south side of the lower half of the access road where there is room to accommodate a car on the dirt shoulder, but not to allow parking on the north side. As a result of the recent road paving, the "V" (drainage) ditch is now along the north side of the road (prior to paving the road, the "V" ditch was on the south side. In some locations along the north side there is enough room between the pavement and the "V" ditch for cars to park off the pavement, this is especially true on the easterly half of the road. In other areas there is just enough room to park off the paving without crossing over into the drainage ditch. Lastly in some locations there is simply not enough room for parking. The attached map (Attachment A) illustrates the areas along the access road where staff believes that parking would be acceptable. Specifically, staff recommends that parking be allowed on the south side of the access road and on the north side beginning approximately 15 yards east of the second gravel parking lot to 10 yards west of the dirt lot. If approved, staff would recommend posting signs stating "park off pavement "and "no parking" . The Commission asked for input from the Director of Public Works (Ken Gilbert) and Moorpark Police (Sgt. Hindman) regarding the feasibility and safety of parking along the access road. Mr. Gilbert indicated that he cannot identify any problems with parking long the south side of the access road and concurs that parking on the north side be limited to the area illustrated on Attachment A. This is the same position recommended by the Police Department. If the Commission chooses to make a recommended change to the existing AVCP Parking Ordinance, staff will refer the recommendation to the City Council for consideration. Recommendation Staff recommends that the Commission consider parking along the south side of the AVCP access road and restrict parking on the north side to the portion beginning approximately 15 yards east of the second gravel parking lot and ending approximately 10 yards west of the dirt lot.
