DISCUSSION The parking and stopping of vehicles on Poindexter Avenue, and on the vacant property between the street and the railroad tracks north of Poindexter Avenue, poses a safety hazard by hampering the visibility of motorists driving along Poindexter Avenue. As shown on Exhibit 111, Staff recommends that parking restrictions be imposed to adequately control the safe movement of vehicular traffic along Poindexter Avenue. A. No Overnight Parking It is recommended that "NO PARKING 10PM -5AM" signs be installed on the south side of Poindexter Avenue along the frontage of the industrial property extending from Gabbert Road easterly to a point approximately five hundred seventy feet (5701) west of the center line of Sierra Avenue. This will allow parking in front �)f those businesses during business hours. B. No Stopping Anytime To improve motorist safety, it is recommended that "NO STOPPING ANYTIME" signs be installed on both sides of Poindexter Avenue as follows: North side: From a point approximately six hundred feet (600') west of Moorpark Avenue to a point approximately one thousand one hundred and fifty feet (1,150') west of Moorpark Avenue. [Note: Parking is permitted in front of the businesses located east of these limits. NO STOPPING ANYTIME restrictions established by a previously adopted Resolution already exist east of those business.- Agenda Report Page 2 South Side: From a point approximately six hundred eighty feet (6801) west of Cornett Avenue to a point approximately five hundred seventy feet (570') west of the center line of Sierra Avenue. [Note: NO STOPPING ANYTIME restrictions were established in the area east of Chaparral School by a previously adopted Resolution. C. No Stopping On or Off Pavement 1. Off- Street -- Section 21113 of the California Vehicle Code allows for regulation of parking on rapid transit district, transit development board, or City controlled property. The property between the street right -of -way and the railroad right -of -way is owned by Ventura County Transportation c=ommission (VCTC). City staff contacted VCTC and suggested that, with their permission, the City would be willing to post and maintain signs prohibiting the stopping and /or parking of vehicles in this area. On January 4, 1994. staff received authorization from VCTC (Exhibit 121) to proceed with the posting of NO STOPPING signs on this property. 2. On Street -- It is recommended that the stopping of vehicles on the street should also be prohibited. The existing "NO PARKING 10PM -5AM" signs on the north side of the street are apparently not supported by a City Resolution. 3. Limits -- This proposed No Stopping restrict includes all of the area on the north side of Poindexter Avenue from Gabbert Road easterly to a point approximately one thousand one hundred and fifty feet (1,1501) west of Moorpark Avenue. 4. Signing -- With input from the Sheriff's Department, staff recommends the signs to be along this portion of Poindexter Avenue read: "No Parkinq On or Off Pavement" RECONKENDATION Adopt the attached resolution establishing certain parking restrictions on and adjacent to Poindexter Avenue. \'Sans. \pndxteri.rpt 'ULE- -aiGNAGE - No st-nppi g Anytime 4: ........
