COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: PARKING REGULATIONS FOR SCENIC VALLEY SUBDIVISION,
FOURTH ADDITION
BACKGROUND:
In response to final platting of the Scenic Valley Subdivision, fourth addition, there will
be new residential streets added to the city. To maintain safe two-way traffic and access
for emergency vehicles parking will need to be prohibited on one side of the street.
Typically, parking is prohibited on the same side of the street where the fire hydrants
are place to maximize available parking.
The new streets with proposed parking regulations are as follows.
1 . Barcelos Street - No parking at all times on the south side.
2. Everest Avenue - No parking at all times on the east side.
3. Everest Circle - No parking at all times on the east side.
To begin the process, the City Attorney will need to draft an ordinance establishing no
parking regulations. A map of the proposed no parking regulations has been provided in
Attachment A.
ALTERNATIVES:
1 . Direct the City Attorney to draft an ordinance establishing no parking on:
a. The south side of Barcelos Street
b. The east side of Everest Avenue
c. The east side of Everest Circle.
2. Reject the proposed parking regulations.
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Establishing consistent no parking regulations will ensure safe access for all users
along these new residential streets. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City
Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative No. 1 , as noted above.
