Gilbert, Director of Public Works DATE: September 23, 1996 (Council Meeting 10 -2 -96) SUBJECT: Consider a Resolution No. 96-1.2-2-e Amending Resolution No. 93 -976 Pertaining to Parking Restrictions on Portions of Peach Hill Road On October 6, 1993, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 93 -976 establishing certain parking restrictions on Peach Hill Road and on Science Drive in and near the Carlsberg development. Recently the school administration at Mesa Verde Middle School, in order to improve traffic safety on the campus, established a prohibition of non - faculty vehicular traffic in the parking lots. This new rule requires vehicles to drop -off and pick -up students at a recently established LOADING ZONE on Peach Hill Road. As you may be aware, significant traffic congestion problems occurred on Peach Hill Road as a result of that action. In an effort to provide for better safety and more order in the "picking - up" and "dropping -off" of students, School administrators directed the drivers of those vehicles to drive to the easterly end of Peach Hill Road, make a U -turn at the temporary cul -de -sac, and then proceed westerly to the designated LOADING ZONE. It is expected that all students will be picked -up and dropped -off in this LOADING ZONE. At times, this procedure requires the staging of up to twenty or thirty vehicles. The line of cars extends easterly along the north side of the street, around the cul -de -sac and then westerly along the south side of the street. The drivers of those vehicles were required to wait in line in areas designated NO STOPPING and NO PARKING 10 PM TO 6 AM. In order to eliminate this apparent conflict City crews were instructed to replace certain "NO STOPPING" and "NO PARKING 10 PM to 6 AM" signs with "NO PARKING" signs. This change will allow for the staging of vehicles in this area without a conflict with NO STOPPING signs, and will prevent parking in this area which would disrupt the flow of staged traffic. pchhil2.prk 00613z The attached resolution redefines the parking restrictions in this area to reflect the recent changes to the posted signing. It also establishes the new LOADING ZONE. It is the view of staff that these revised parking restrictions should be seen as "temporary" in nature. The above described vehicle staging for the loading zone, as well as the subject revised parking restrictions to support same, is not compatible with the traffic patterns expected once Science Drive is constructed and used (by both motor vehicles and bicycles) to serve the properties in the Carlsberg area. It will be necessary, therefore, for the School District to design an alternative "system" over the next few months to meet these needs. It is anticipated that the implementation of the "revised system" will require the City Council to rescind the subject action and adopt parking restrictions compatible with the intended use of these streets. The City Council is advised that it is the intent of staff to invoice the School District for the labor costs related to the replacement of these signs. In that both the signs removed and the signs installed are standard signs which were in stock and which may be used elsewhere, there will be no charge for materials. Staff recommends that the City Council apt the attached resolution amending Resolution No. 93 -976 as it pertains to parking restrictions on a portion of Peach Hill Road. pchh112_prk 000133 RESOLUTION NO. 96 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MOORPARK, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. 93 -976 PERTAINING TO PARKING RESTRICTIONS ON PORTIONS OF PEACH HILL ROAD WHEREAS, pursuant to the authority granted by Section 22507 of the California Vehicle Code, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 93 -976 establishing certain parking restrictions on Peach Hill Road between Spring Road and Science Drive; and, WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that it is necessary and appropriate to revise those parking restrictions.
