OVERVIEW
This presents a Resolution establishing certain parkin
restrictions on the south side of Los Angeles Avenue betwe
Moorpark Avenue and Park Lane. 'i-A
DISCUSSION
A. Overnight Parking of Trucks
The dirt shoulder area on the south side of Los Angeles
Avenue between Moorpark Avenue and Park Lane is used for the
parking of large trucks and semi -truck and trailers to allow
drivers to use the commercial services located at the
Moorpark Town Center. It has been observed that some trucks
park in this area for an extended period of time late at
night and through the early morning hours using the area as
an overnight rest stop.
B. Transportation & Streets Committee
At a recent meeting of the Transportation and Streets
Committee (Mayor Pro tem Hunter and Councilmember Wozniak) it
was recommended that staff pursue efforts necessary to
prohibit the overnight parking of all vehicles along this
dirt shoulder area.
C. Private Road
It appears that the subject dirt shoulder area may be located
south of the state highway right -of -way, and may, therefore,
be considered a private road. Section 21107.5 of the
California Vehicle Code provides for the establishment of
parking restrictions on a private road, subsequent to a
public hearing for which notice, given at least ten (10) days
prior to the scheduled public hearing, has been given to the
owners of the properties affected.

CVC Section 21107.5 (c) requires the City Council to hold a
public hearing and give at least a ten (10 ) day notice of
said hearing to the owners of the affected properties. Such
a notice was sent.
Subsequent to the public hearing, the City Council may adopt
a resolution imposing parking restrictions on a private road,
even if the property owner(s) object. However, if an owner
erects a sign in accordance with the requirements set forth
in CVC Section 21107.5 (b), stating that the road is
privately owned and maintained and that it is not subject to
traffic regulations or controls, the resolution becomes
unenforceable.
1. NO STOPPING -- In November of 1991, the City Council
adopted Resolution No. 91 -818 establishing a number of
parking restrictions including a NO STOPPING ANYTIME zone
on the south side of Los Angeles Avenue from a point one
hundred feet east of Park Lane, westerly to a point west
of Butter Creek Road. This NO STOPPING restriction
applies to the frontage of the Circle -K property.
It is recommended that another NO STOPPING ANYTIME zone be
established on the south side of Los Angeles Avenue from
Moorpark Avenue westerly to a point approximately two
hundred fifty feet (2501) west of Moorpark Avenue. This
restriction will ease congestion near the intersection of
Los angeles Avenue and Moorpark Avenue. The limits of
this additional parking restriction is also coincidental
with the limits of the street improvements required by the
future development of the property at the southwest corner
of Moorpark Avenue and Los Angeles Avenue.
2. NO PARKING 10:00 P.M. TO 5:00 A.K. -- It is recommended
the remaining area between Moorpark Avenue and Park Lane
be designated NO PARKING 10: p.m. to 5:00 a.m. in order to
prevent the overnight parking of large trucks.
