Subject: Authorizing the Establishment of a “No Parking Zone During Specified Hours” on Fair Oaks Avenue, in Unincorporated Redwood City
RECOMMENDATION:
title

body
BACKGROUND:
Your Board has adopted similar resolutions designating parking restrictions.
Section 22507 et al. of the California Vehicle Code and Section 7.32.010 of the County of San Mateo’s Ordinance Code provide 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 the Sheriff’s Department for a 20-foot no parking zone during limited hours on Fair Oaks Avenue in the unincorporated area of Redwood City to better allow for pick up and drop off of school children utilizing public transportation, as well as provide better sight distance conditions at the intersection of Fair Oaks Avenue and Barron Avenue.
DISCUSSION:
Staff evaluated the request and determined that the proposed parking restrictions along Fair Oaks Avenue would benefit the community. The Department recommends adoption of a resolution to restrict parking at this location.
Property owners on adjacent blocks, extending a minimum of 300 feet from the proposed parking zone locations, were notified of the date and time of your Board’s meeting when these items will be considered. The Department did not receive any notices of objections or support, which is summarized in Attachment A.
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 Fiscal Year 2019-20 Adopted Budget. There is no impact to the General Fund.
