DATE: August 25, 2015
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION TO ESTABLISH NO -STOPPING ANYTIME ZONE
ALONG THE EAST SIDE OF CENTRE POINTE PARKWAY
BETWEEN GOLDEN TRIANGLE ROAD AND SPIRIT COURT
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
PRESENTER: Andrew Yi
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council adopt a resolution establishing a no -stopping anytime zone along the east side of
Centre Pointe Parkway extending from 145 feet south of Golden Triangle Road to 726 feet north
of Spirit Court for a total length of 964 feet.
BACKGROUND
The City of Santa Clarita (City) received a request from the William S. Hart School District
(District) to establish a no -stopping anytime zone along the east side of Centre Pointe Parkway
between Golden Triangle Road and Spirit Court. (See attached location map.)
The District has become increasingly concerned with the safety of Bowman High School
students who park their vehicles along the east side of Centre Pointe Parkway and cross at mid -
block locations to get to the school. City staff conducted a field observation at Bowman High
School and determined establishing a no -stopping anytime zone along the east side of Centre
Pointe Parkway, between Golden Triangle Road and Spirit Court will prohibit students from
parking along the easterly curb and would subsequently reduce the undesirable crossing
activities.
The east side of Centre Pointe Parkway between Golden Triangle Road and Spirit Court is
currently designated as a no -parking zone between 12:00 a.m. and 4:00 a.m. The proposed no -
stopping anytime zone will maintain the existing overnight parking restriction and will add the
daytime parking restriction. (See attached diagram.)
City staff contacted adjacent business owners, who indicated their approval of the proposed no -
stopping anytime zone. Staff also reviewed the current on -street parking demands in the area and

determined there is adequate parking available for students on the opposite side of the roadway.
The proposed no -stopping anytime zone will have minimal impact on the parking needs of
Bowman High School students and adjacent business properties.
Additionally, the recommended action supports the Public Safety theme of the City's five-year
strategic plan, Santa Clarita 2020.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
Other action as determined by the City Council.
SCALIMPACT
The installation of 10 signs on Centre Pointe Parkway will cost approximately $1,5 00. Funds are
available in the Street Maintenance Traffic Signs and Markings expenditure account 14504-
5141.008.
