Subject: Establishment of a “No Parking” Zone on Spring Street in Unincorporated Redwood City
RECOMMENDATION:
title
Adopt a resolution authorizing the establishment of a “No Parking” zone on Spring Street in unincorporated Redwood City.
body
BACKGROUND:
Your Board has adopted similar resolutions designating parking restrictions.
Section 22507 et seq. of the California Vehicle Code and Section 7.30.010 of the County of San Mateo Ordinance Code 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 Parking Restriction Request application to restrict parking at 2581 Spring Street in the unincorporated area of Redwood City. The proposal calls for restricting parking for twenty feet on Spring Street at Douglas Avenue. Currently, vehicles park in a small parking space between a curb return and the business’s driveway access approach that blocks access frequently.
DISCUSSION:
The Department has evaluated the request and determined that the proposed “No Parking” zone on Spring Street 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 objections and support received are 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.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The cost of installing signs varies and is estimated at $550 for this action. Costs are included in the FY 2019-20 Adopted Budget. There is no impact to the General Fund.
