BACKGROUND:
This Board has adopted similar resolutions regarding parking restrictions.
Section 22507 et seq. of the California Vehicle Code and Section 7.24.010 et seq. of the San Mateo County Ordinance Code provides that local authorities may prohibit or restrict the stopping, parking or standing of vehicles by resolution or ordinance.
DISCUSSION:
The Broadmoor Police Department seeks to revise existing parking restrictions within the County right-of-way on A Street between Reiner Street and El Camino Real (State Highway 82). The existing “Two Hour Time Limited Parking” restrictions generally apply Monday through Friday, except Holidays from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The proposed revisions would be for “Two Hour Time Limited Parking” from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Holidays. This modification, most notably, provides residents living in the vicinity more flexibility for parking on A Street in the morning and afternoon hours.
The Department recommends rescinding portions of Resolution No 067697 in order to establish the “Time Limited Parking” zones as shown on Exhibit “A”.
The Department notified 379 property owners on adjacent blocks and within 300 feet from the proposed parking restrictions of the date and time of the Board meeting to consider these items. The Department received 5 responses to the letter in support of the parking restrictions. There were no objections.
The location of parking zones and other traffic restrictions on County-maintained roads are shown on maps in the Department’s office and website. The Department’s master list of parking restrictions will be updated to reflect the recommended changes, should this Board approve the proposed resolution.
County Attorney has reviewed and approved the Resolution as to form.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The staff costs for evaluating and processing requests for traffic regulations is paid for by the Road Fund as part of the administrative cost associated with evaluating traffic-related requests on the County maintained road system. The cost of purchasing and installing signs and painting parking zone markings varies and averages approximately $600 per parking zone designation, which is paid for by the Road Fund.
There is no impact to the General Fund.
