BACKGROUND:
|
Previous Board Action
|
Adopted similar resolutions that designated parking restrictions in the other unincorporated areas of the County.
|
|
|
History
|
Section 22507 of the California Vehicle Code provides that local authorities may prohibit or restrict the stopping, parking, or standing of vehicles by resolution or ordinance.
|
|
|
DISCUSSION:
|
Third Avenue between Middlefield Road and Edison Way in North Fair Oaks was reconstructed in FY 2007-2008. Road Maintenance staff has requested that No Parking During Specified Hours be posted to facilitate street sweeping in the Public Right-of-Way that is consistent with current street sweeping schedules in this area. Property owners on the affected segment of Third Avenue have been notified of the proposed parking restrictions and the date and time of the Board meeting. To date, staff has not received any comments from the property owners.
|
|
|
The locations of parking restrictions on County maintained streets are currently documented on GIS Maps in the Department of Public Works, and will be made available in list form on the Department’s web site. The master lists will be updated to reflect the recommended changes if your Board approves the proposed resolutions.
|
|
|
FISCAL IMPACT:
|
There will be no impact to the General Fund.
|
|
|
The cost of the staff time involved in evaluating and processing requests for parking regulations is part of the administrative costs associated with evaluating traffic-related requests involving the County maintained road system, and is financed with Road Funds. The cost of signing and marking parking regulations varies, but averages out to approximately $600 per zone. This cost is also financed with Road Funds.
