HomeMy WebLinkAboutA001 - Council Action Form dated May 23, 2017 50 ITEM# 37b DATE: 0 - 3-17 COUNCIL ACTION FORM SUBJECT: PARKING REGULATIONS (24T" STREET & BROADMOOR AVENUE) BACKGROUND: The Ames City Council, as part of the Miracle Field Project public input process, received a request from the neighborhood adjacent to Inis Grove Park asking that No Parking regulations be added to the south side of 24th Street and the west side of Broadmoor Avenue respectively. The additional parking regulations are intended to mitigate parking congestion within the neighborhood from events that take place at Inis Grove Park. Proposed changes to the Chapter 18: Parking Regulations of the Municipal Code are as follows (in Red); Revised Sections (281) TWENTY-FOURTH STREET. a) Parking is prohibited at all times on both sides from Jensen Avenue to Ferndale Avenue. b) Parking is prohibited at all times on the south side of 24th Street from the centerline of Van Buren Avenue to the centerline of Hoover Avenue. c) Parking is prohibited at all times on the south side from Duff Avenue to its east end. (Ord. No. 2241, Sec. 2, 3-19-68; Ord. No. 2552, Sec. 2, 7-6-76; Ord. No. 2980, Sec. 1, 6-30-87, Ord. No 3735, 9-23-03) New Sections BROADMOOR AVENUE. Parking is prohibited at all times on the west side of Broadmoor Avenue. Maps showing the affected sections of streets are attached to this report. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Direct the City Attorney to draft an ordinance to change Municipal Code Section 18.31 to codify the parking regulations noted above. 2. Direct staff to leave the ordinance sections unchanged. MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: Based on the attached communication that the City received, it appears 10 property owners (5 out of 6 along 24th Street and 5 out of 5 along Broadmoor) whose front yards are impacted by these new regulations are supportive of the parking changes. These modifications to the Municipal Code should provide a clear indication to Inis Grove Park patrons where is it is appropriate to park, while helping to lesson negative impacts to the neighborhood during events or times of heavy use in the park. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative No. 1, as specified above. 1 ;, l " FProposed Parking Regulations �D 6641 _5V:� d i { F - t 4 o Iris Grove Park x - d ry w 957 if � 2.1TH ST 1 e c �.
