COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: PARKING REGULATIONS ON ROY KEY AVENUE FROM WHEELER
STREET TO ORION DRIVE.
BACKGROUND:
During the development of the Northern Lights Subdivision, concern was raised about
access to the rear of the businesses in the commercial portion of the development and
the restriction of on-street parking. The streets in the area are 31' wide. As the parking
regulations were adopted, no parking was established on both sides of the street from
30 h Street to Wheeler Street and from Orion Drive to Top-O-Hollow Road. No mention
is made of the connecting section of Roy Key Avenue between Wheeler Street and
Orion Drive.
That "middle" section of street between Wheeler Street and Orion Drive is signed as no
parking anytime on the west side and the signing on the east side of Roy Key Avenue
is no parking drop-off/delivery with the exception of the northern 75 feet at Orion
Drive and the southern 75 feet at Wheeler Street which are no parking here to corner.
Current staff members of the Public Works and Legal Department do not know why
these regulations were posted and not codified.
Although the signs have been in place for some time, (approximately four years), in
order to provide for enforcement of the signed restrictions, it is necessary to provide for
the restrictions in the City Code.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Direct the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance restricting the parking on Roy
Key Avenue from Wheeler Street to Orion Drive as it is currently signed:
a) On the west side - No Parking Anytime
b) On the east side — No Parking Here to Corner/Corner to Here for the 75
feet nearest Orion Drive and the 75 feet nearest Wheeler Street; and No
Parking Drop-off/Delivery Zone for the remainder of the length.
2. Direct City Attorney to change the parking regulations by establishing No Parking
Anytime on both sides of Roy Key Avenue between Wheeler Street and Orion Drive as
exists along the connecting segments of Roy Key Avenue.
3. Direct the staff to remove the existing signs and allow parking along this segment
of Roy Key Avenue.
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is recommended by the City Manager that the City Council accept alternative number
one above and direct the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance restricting the parking
on Roy Key Avenue from Wheeler Street to Orion Drive as it is currently signed:
a) On the west side - No Parking Anytime
b) On the east side — No Parking Here to Corner/Corner to Here for the 75
feet nearest Orion Drive and the 75 feet nearest Wheeler Street; and No
Parking Drop-off/Delivery Zone for the remainder of the length.
