CONSENT CALENDAR
DATE: June 23, 1992
SUBJECT: VALENCIA VALLEY SCHOOL - PASSENGER LOADING ZONE/CARRIZO DRIVE
Resolution No. 92-121
DEPARTMENT: Community Development
BACKGROUND
Mrs. Gerry Morey, Principal of Valencia Valley School, has requested a
passenger loading zone (drop-off and pick-up area) to be established in front
of the school (Carrizo Drive). A copy of the letter is attached. A traffic
engineering survey was conducted, and the request of a passenger loading zone
was evaluated.
The requested area for a passenger loading zone is currently used by parents
to drop off and pick up their children. The same area is frequently used by
school employees to park their vehicles during the school hours. This
present situation. creates congestion in the parking area, as each parent's
vehicle needs. to maneuver between parked vehicles to find a space for
dropping off or picking up their children. It is believed that congestion in
the school frontage area would be minimized if a passenger loading zone is
established (north side of Carrizo Drive).
There are many curb parking spaces available on Carrizo Drive within walking
distance from the school, and the recommended zone will leave 100 -feet of
curb space .west of the proposed zone for school employees and visitors to
park their vehicles. In addition, since the proposed zone is needed during
school hours and our observations showed that the area is mostly used by
school -generated vehicles during the school hours, it is believed that the
potential impact of establishing the passenger loading zone in spaces
frequently used by visitors in this area would not be significant.
This work is estimated to cost approximately $500, which can be accommodated
in our current traffic striping and signing budget category.
Adopt Resolution No. 92-121, authorizing a passenger loading zone for a
distance of 200 feet to be established on the north side of Carrizo Drive.
Direct staff to have the appropriate signs to effect this passenger loading
zone in July 1992.
