Subject: Establishment of a “No Trailer Parking” Zone on Huntington Avenue, in the North Fair Oaks Area of Unincorporated Redwood City
RECOMMENDATION:
title
Adopt a resolution authorizing the establishment of a “No Trailer Parking” zone on Huntington Avenue in the North Fair Oaks area of unincorporated Redwood City.
body
BACKGROUND:
Your Board has adopted similar resolutions designating parking restrictions.
Section 22507 et al. of the California Vehicle Code and Section 7.28.070 of the County of San Mateo Code of Ordinances provides that local authorities may prohibit or restrict the stopping, parking, or standing of vehicles, including trailers, by resolution or ordinance.
The Department of Public Works (Department) received a Parking Restriction Request to restrict parking of trailers on Huntington Avenue in unincorporated Redwood City. Trailers occupy available on-site parking spaces and limit sight distance for other vehicles entering Huntington Avenue.
DISCUSSION:
The Department has evaluated the request and determined that the proposed “No Trailer Parking” zone on Huntington 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. Comments received to date 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.
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.
