BACKGROUND: The City was approached by a problems with large, high -panel trucks parking on tl ies concern is that the long-term parking of these trucks sight visibility impairment at driveways and at cc businesses. business/property owner in the area regarding e streets for the legal 72 -hour period. The have caused several parking problems such as Hers, and parking difficulties for regular -hour DISCUSSION: The request deals with the industrial area bounded within Bayshore Highway, Gilbreth Road, Cowan Road, and Mahler Road. The streets affected by the proposed restrictions are Hinckley, Stanton, Malcolm, Mitten, and Cowan Roads. Currently, these streets do not have any parking restrictions other than minor red zones or 24 -minute green zones. Mahler Road and Gilbreth Road are not included in this proposal since new height -restriction were recently authorized and will be implemented in the very near future. The implementation of the proposed height -limit restriction will best serve the area parking needs by eliminating truck storage problems, sight-visty problems at driveways and street corners, and allow for more on -street parking for businesses. Authorization to implement this restriction belongs to the Traffic Engineer, and typically, analysis and implementation is done directly on a staff level. However, staff believes that in this situation, it would be more advantageous for the City to hear from as many of the effected businesses as possible, especially since the proposed restriction will be wide spread and effect several streets and over six hundred property owners.
