From: James C. Porter, Director of Public Works
Subject: Authorizing the Establishment of a “No Parking Zone” at 1590 Purisima Creek Road, Unincorporated Half Moon Bay.
RECOMMENDATION:
title
Adopt a resolution establishing a 100-foot “No Parking” zone at 1590 Purisima Creek Road (Road 41) in the unincorporated area of Half Moon Bay.
body
BACKGROUND:
Your Board has adopted similar resolutions designating parking restrictions.
Section 22507 et al. of the California Vehicle Code and Section 7.30.010 of the San Mateo County Code of Ordinances provides that local authorities may prohibit or restrict the stopping, parking or standing of vehicles by resolution or ordinance.
The Department of Public Works (Department) received a request from a resident for a parking restriction on Purisima Creek Road in the unincorporated area of Half Moon Bay. The resident requested a “No Parking” zone be established to increase the visible sight distance and traffic movement at this location.
DISCUSSION:
The property owner constructed a wall in the road right of way to segregate the graded shoulder of the road from his landscaped yard. The wall removed the space necessary for vehicles to park safely off the road. Department staff investigated the request and determined that a 100-foot “No Parking” zone is warranted on Purisma Creek Road (Road 41) and would benefit the community. The Department recommends adoption of a resolution to restrict parking at this location.
The location of parking zones and other traffic restrictions on County-maintained streets are currently shown on maps in the Department of Public Works office and will be made available in list form on maps on the Department’s website. The master list will be updated to reflect the recommended changes, if your Board approves the proposed resolution.
County Counsel has reviewed and approved the resolution as to form.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The cost of installing signs and painting parking zone markings varies, but averages approximately $550 per parking zone. Costs are included in the FY 2019-20 Adopted Budget. There is no impact to the General Fund.
