Date: September 28, 2004
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: PARKING REGULATIONS ON HOOVER AVENUE
BACKGROUND:
This is in response to the filing of the Final Plat of Kinyon-Clark Subdivision and the
completion of the construction of the fire hydrants, streets, and streetlights. The city is
building narrower streets in an effort to calm traffic. This requires "No Parking" signs on
one side of the street to provide the emergency services enough room to set up their
equipment. No parking signs are installed on one side of the street when the street
width is twenty-six feet. Since parking is prohibited near fire hydrants, parking is usually
prohibited on the side of the street where fire hydrants are located. This provides the
maximum amount of on street parking on the opposite side of the street and increases
the Fire Department's access to the fire hydrant. Staff prefers to wait until streetlights
have been installed before installing "No Parking" signs so that the street light poles can
be used to hold the "No Parking" signs.
Hoover Avenue in the Kinyon-Clark Subdivision was designed so that parking would be
allowed on the west side of the street. The fire hydrants are on the east side of the
street and two intersecting streets run eastward from Hoover Avenue. Because of
these restrictions on the east side, additional parking can be provided on the west side
of the street.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Direct the City Attorney to develop an ordinance to prohibit parking on the east
side of Hoover Avenue from Adams Street to Top-0-Hollow Road.
2. Direct the City Attorney to develop an ordinance to prohibit parking on the west
side of Hoover Avenue from Adams Street to Top-0-Hollow Road.
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt alternative
number one, thereby directing the City Attorney to develop an ordinance to prohibit
parking on the east side of Hoover Avenue from Adams Street to Top-0-Hollow Road.
