COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: REVISION OF PARKING REGULATIONS ON GREEN HILLS DRIVE
BACKGROUND:
In early March, staff received a petition from three residents on the 2500 block of Green
Hills Drive requesting that parking be allowed on the street. Staff checked the city code
and determined that on Green Hills Drive parking is not allowed from Elwood Drive to
Oakwood Road. The width of the 2500 block of Green Hills Drive is 26 feet, which does
not allow enough room for two lanes of traffic if cars are parked on both sides of the
street. Therefore, parking needs to be prohibited on one side of the street.
Consequently, staff considered the possibility of allowing parking on the west side of the
2500 block of Green Hills Drive.
A review of the block determined that there are four property owners on this street that
would be directly impacted if parking were allowed. While conducting this study, staff
was advised by the petitioner that the fourth property owner had contacted him and did
not object to allowing parking. As a result, all four property owners on this block support
the petition.
Based on the above information, staff recommends allowing parking on the west side of
the street.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Direct the City Attorney to develop an ordinance to allow parking on the west side
of the 2500 block of Green Hills Drive.
2. Take no action and do not change parking restrictions on Green Hills Drive.
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt alternative
number one above and direct the City Attorney to develop an ordinance to allow parking
on the west side of the 2500 block of Green Hills Drive.
