AGENDA REPORT TO: Honorable City Council FROM: Dave Klotzle, City Engineer/Public Works Director DATE: October 25, 2013 (CC Meeting of 11/06/13) SUBJECT: Consider Resolution Reestablishing Parking Restrictions and Exemptions for Street Sweeping and Rescinding Resolution No. 93- 985 and Resolution No. 95-1121 BACKGROUND On November 3, 1993, City Council adopted Resolution No. 93-985 which established parking restrictions for the purpose of facilitating street sweeping. At that time, City streets were being swept every other Tuesday or Thursday, with a portion of the downtown area swept every Thursday. The parking restrictions established by Resolution No. 93-985 were for four (4) hours per day, every week, coinciding with the Tuesday or Thursday sweeping day. On May 3, 1995, City Council adopted Resolution No. 95-1121 which amended Resolution No. 93-985 by adding a provision to allow a temporary exemption of street sweeping parking restrictions permit to be issued to residents according to procedures established by the City Manager. On March 2, 2005, City Council approved revisions to the street sweeping schedule and related parking restrictions to coincide with twice per month street sweeping. The parking restrictions remained at four (4) hours per day on each street sweeping day. Minor administrative changes to the procedures for issuing temporary exemption of street sweeping parking restrictions permits were approved at this time as well. On December 6, 2006, City Council approved revisions to the street sweeping schedule and related parking restrictions decreasing the duration of the restrictions from four (4) hours to three (3) hours per day on street sweeping days. This revision required the street sweeping schedule to be revised to sweep some residential areas on Monday or Friday. 236 Honorable City Council November 6, 2013 Page 2 of 3 DISCUSSION The attached resolution reestablishing parking restrictions and exemptions for street sweeping is intended to formalize the street sweeping schedule to be three (3) hours per day, twice a month, except where modified as deemed necessary in areas near schools and City parks as approved by the City Manager. Staff recommends one such modification to the street sweeping schedule on Monroe Avenue and Campus Canyon Drive in the vicinity of Campus Canyon College Preparatory Academy and Campus Canyon Park. The current schedule for street sweeping in this area is between 12:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month. During these hours, street parking is not available to school staff and visitors. Recent changes at the school have increased the number of students, staff and visitors, making available parking increasingly limited especially during street sweeping hours. Staff is proposing to change the street sweeping schedule on all of Monroe Avenue and on Campus Canyon Drive from Collins Drive to Stanley Court to 4:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. on the 1st and 3rd Thursday of each month. This is the same street sweeping schedule for the streets surrounding Flory Academy and the street sweeper will be able to sweep both areas within the scheduled time. This proposed schedule will have much less of an impact on available parking during regular school hours and is expected to have a minimal impact on parking available for visitors to Campus Canyon Park. Additionally, the City received a letter from Moorpark Unified School District dated October 8, 2013, containing a commitment to keeping the school parking lot along Campus Canyon Drive open and available to park users during the revised street sweeping hours. The proposed resolution would allow the City Manager to approve this change in the street sweeping schedule as well as other future changes deemed necessary in areas near schools and City parks. The proposed resolution also clarifies the procedures that apply to the issuance of permits to exempt residents from street sweeping restrictions under certain circumstances. The proposed resolution would allow a resident to obtain a permit to park on the street during the prohibited parking hours for street sweeping for occasions such as work being performed on their house, loading or unloading of a moving truck or other circumstances, as approved by the City Manager or his/her designee, that preclude the resident from parking in their driveway. A resident would be limited to four (4) permits per day for up to six (6) separate days per calendar year and limited to one day per month. The number of permits issued per day may be modified upon approval by the City Manager or his/her designee for unusual circumstances such as unanticipated medical or personal situations that result in numerous vehicles parking during street sweeping hours. 237 Honorable City Council November 6, 2013 Page 3 of 3 FISCAL IMPACT None.
