BACKGROUND
The City of Santa Clarita (City) received a request from the American Beauty Classics
Homeowner's Association (HOA) to establish a No Stopping Any Time zone on the east and
west side of Gregory Lane between Via Princessa and Collins Road.
The HOA has traffic safety concerns with parents picking up students on Gregory Lane during
La Mesa Junior High School dismissal hours. They have witnessed many conflicts between
pedestrians and vehicles on Gregory Lane, between Via Princessa and Collins Road, including
students jaywalking across Gregory Lane and vehicles double parking. The parked vehicles on
Gregory Lane also make it difficult for motorists to turn left or right from Collins Road, since
motorists cannot see cross traffic.
City staff met with the HOA and observed the student pick-up activity during the school's
dismissal hours on Gregory Lane, which confirmed the traffic safety concerns. Establishing a No
Stopping Any Time zone on the east and west side of Gregory Lane with striping delineation will

The HOA sent notifications of the proposed changes on Gregory Lane to each of the adjacent

members are supportive of the proposed changes.
The proposed No Stopping Any Time zone will restrict 275 feet of on -street parking on the east
side of Gregory Lane and 250 feet of on -street parking on the west side of Gregory Lane, per the
attached Exhibit A.
