COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: PARKING PROHIBITIONS FOR THE NORTHRIDGE SUBDIVISION.
BACKGROUND:
During the review of the Northridge Subdivision's 17th and 18t" Additions, staff worked
with developers on plans to designate parking prohibitions along one side of new
subdivision streets. These streets will be the last ones constructed in the Northridge
Subdivision since it will complete the street work in the development. The plans
proposed for these new streets are typical to ones approved in the past that call for
providing the desired street widths for the safe passage of traffic and emergency
vehicles. Along these local streets, parking is proposed along only one side of these 27'
wide streets to provide a safe street width for traffic. Provided below are the proposed
parking prohibition plans for the remaining streets in the Northridge Subdivision.
Valley View Road — Parking is prohibited on the south and west side from Aspen
Road to Bloomington Road.
Almond Road — Parking is prohibited on the north side.
Honeysuckle Road — Parking is prohibited on the east side.
Magnolia Circle — Parking is prohibited on the west side from Bayberry Road
south to the radius of the circle.
Arrowwood Circle — Parking is prohibited on the south side from Valley View Road
east to the radius of the circle.
As noted above, it has been past practice to designate parking prohibitions along new
subdivision streets with typical widths of 27' and 31' for traffic safety purposes. Since all
these remaining streets in the Northridge Subdivision have a 27' street width, it is
appropriate to prohibit parking along one side of the street to accommodate a two-way
traffic flow. If parking were allowed on both sides of the street, the available street width
for traffic would be reduced to 15', or one lane of travel. This would not only create a
hazardous situation for traffic, but also would restrict access by emergency vehicles.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Prohibit parking as indicated in the above report for the streets within the
Northridge Subdivisions.
2. Do nothing.
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt alternative
number 1, thereby, directing the City Attorney to draft an ordinance prohibiting parking
as indicated in the above report for the streets within the Northridge Subdivisions.
