COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: PARKING REGULATIONS ON WAKEFIELD CIRCLE AND HYATT
CIRCLE
BACKGROUND:
In response to filing the Final Plat for the Ames Community Development Park, 4th
Addition, parking regulations are required for the addition of the following new streets:
Wakefield Circle and Hyatt Circle. The extension of South Bell Avenue will be covered
under existing regulations in the Municipal Code.
The adjacent land-use for all of these roads is General Industrial. Due to the
combination of the street width and the frequency of truck traffic, parking should be
prohibited on both sides of the street to ensure safe travel to and from each property
and the public way. This is currently the case for the existing portions of South Bell
Avenue that have also been constructed at this narrower width. Typically in industrial
areas, all parking needs of the respective businesses are contained on-site and do not
require on-street parking.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Direct the City Attorney to draft an ordinance to prohibit parking at all times on
both sides of Wakefield Circle and Hyatt Circle.
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 draft an ordinance to prohibit parking at all times
on both sides of Wakefield Circle and Hyatt Circle.
