Date: August 13, 2002
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: REPEAL OF SCHOOL DAY PARKING RESTRICTIONS ON BEL-AIR
DRIVE AND COOLIDGE DRIVE
BACKGROUND:
On July 23, 2002, Council referred the attached petition concerning repeal of the school
day parking restriction on Bel-Air Drive to staff for review. The petitioners indicated that
since the school had constructed the additional parking on their site, the on-street
student parking was no longer a problem. The current ordinance provides no parking
on the south side of Bel-Air from 7:30 to 9:30 a.m. on school days from Coolidge Drive
to Bel-Air Circle and on the north side from Coolidge Drive east 100 feet. In addition to
Bel-Air, the same restriction exists along the south and west sides of Coolidge Drive
from 20th Street to 1415 Coolidge Drive and on the east side of Coolidge Drive from 20th
Street to Bel-Air Drive. The areas are shown on the attached map.
Although the original request came from residents of Bel-Air, staff mailed a survey to all
residents on both sides of the areas streets (Bel-Air Drive and Coolidge Drive) that are
adjacent to the current parking restriction. Of the 41 surveys sent, responses were
received from 21 residents. From the entire area, the overwhelming desire (18 of 21)
was to repeal the parking restriction. Eight residents of Coolidge Drive were in favor of
repealing the parking restriction, while three were not. The three respondents that
wanted to keep the parking restriction were clustered on Coolidge Drive at 20th Street.
They expressed concern about the problems that could result with parking near the
intersection.
Staff believes that it is appropriate to proceed with the desires of the majority of the
respondents to repeal the parking restriction. However staff shares the concern about
problems at the intersection with 201h Street and Coolidge, particularly since the area is
a major walking route for students bound for Fellows Elementary School.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Repeal the school days parking restriction on the south side of Bel-Air Drive from
Coolidge Drive to Bel-Air Circle and from the west and south sides of Coolidge
Drive except for the north 90 feet adjacent to 20th Street.
2. Repeal the school days parking restriction on Bel-Air Drive from Coolidge Drive to
Bel-Air Circle. This would leave the restriction on Coolidge Drive.
3. Reject the request and maintain the parking restrictions as they currently exist.
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is recommended by the City Manager that the City Council accept alternative number
one above and repeal the school days parking restriction on the south side of Bel-Air
Drive from Coolidge Drive to Bel-Air Circle and from the west and south sides of
Coolidge Drive except for the north 90 feet adjacent to 20th Street.
