Item # 14.r cA
Date: November 9, 2004
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: PARKING REGULATIONS ON PRESTON CIRCLE AND WESTON
DRIVE
BACKGROUND:
This is in response to the filing of Northridge Heights Subdivision Seventh Addition and
the completion of the construction of the fire hydrants, streets and streetlights. The City
is currently building narrower streets in an effort to calm traffic. This requires "No
Parking" regulations on one side of the street to provide the emergency services
enough room to adequately set up their equipment. "No Parking" signs are installed on
one side of the street where 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 the 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.
The fire hydrants on Preston Circle and Weston Drive are on the north side of the street.
Therefore, more parking could be provided on the south side of Preston Circle and
Weston Drive by restricting parking on the north side of the street and allowing it on the
south side.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Direct the City Attorney to develop an ordinance to prohibit parking at all times on
the north side of Preston Circle and Weston Drive.
2. Reject this ordinance.
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 prohibit
parking at all times on the north side of Preston Circle and Weston Drive.
