Factual Background and Findings. The City has received complaints from businesses along Gilbreth Road that the current 4 -hour on -street parking limit is insufficient for the parking needs of employees and businesses. This parking limit was originally implemented to address the problem of long-term, large truck storage on Gilbreth Road. The implementation of 4 -hour parking partially alleviated this problem; however, this action also effectively removed a significant portion of the long-term parking availability from the businesses and employees on Gilbreth Road. Recently, the Traffic Safety and Parking Commission (TSPC) re-examined the parking restrictions along Gilbreth Road to determine if new changes could be made to allow for longer parking time limits for employees and businesses, while still prohibiting the parking of large trucks. After discussion and consideration, both staff and the TSPC agreed upon a possible solution which would provide parking for businesses and prevent large truck parking on Gilbreth Road. The City would eliminate the existing 4 -hour parking restriction on the east side of Gilbreth Road and replace it with vehicle height restriction signage along that side of the street. Staff believes that this action 1) would allow businesses the ability to park on the side closest to their establishments for more than the current 4 -hour limit; 2) would prevent large trucks from parking on the east side of the street and 3) would improve the sight visibility for cars exiting from the business driveways. The current overnight parking prohibition (10PM to 6AM) on Gilbreth Road would remain unchanged. Section 2. Sub -Section (d) of Section 13.36.042 of the Burlingame Municipal Code is hereby repealed. Section 3. Anew Sub -Section (d) is hereby added to Section 13.36.042 to read as follows: "(d) West side of Gilbreth Road, between Cowan Road and Mahler Road; and" Section 4. The City Traffic Engineer is directed to install parking signs and to take all other necessary actions to implement this parking restriction change on Gilbreth Road. Section 5. The City Clerk is directed to publish this ordinance in the manner required by law. Cathy Baylock, Mayor I, Mary Ellen Kearney, City Clerk of the City of Burlingame, do hereby certify that the foregoing ordinance was introduced at a regular meeting of the City Council held on the 21 st day of June, 2010, and adopted thereafter at a regular meeting of the City Council held on the 19th day of July, 2010, by the following vote: AYES NOES : ABSENT: Councilmembers: Councilmembers: Councilmembers: BAYLOCK, NONE kiONE BROWNRIGG, DEAL, KEIGHRAN, NAGEL y.
