COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: PARKING REGULATIONS ON BECKLEY STREET AND HASTINGS
AVENUE
BACKGROUND:
In response to the filing of Northridge Heights 8th Addition, an Official Replat, parking
regulations are required now that the construction of the fire hydrants, streets, and
streetlights are complete. 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
emergency services enough room to 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 same side of
the street as the fire hydrants. 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 Beckley Street are on the north side of the street. Therefore, staff
proposes prohibiting parking on that side of the street.
The fire hydrants on Hastings Avenue are on the east side of the street. Therefore, staff
proposes prohibiting parking on that side of the street.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Direct the City Attorney to develop an ordinance prohibiting parking at all times
on the north side of Beckley Street and on the east side of Hastings Avenue.
2. Reject this ordinance.
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative No.
1, thereby directing the City Attorney to develop an ordinance prohibiting parking at all
times on the north side of Beckley Street and on the east side of Hastings Avenue.
