CITY OF SANTA CLARITA
AGENDA REPORT
CONSENT CALENDAR City Manager Approva :
Item to be presented by: Ian Pari
DATE: April 22, 2003
SUBJECT: ESTABLISHING NO -STOPPING ZONE ALONG PAMPLICO DRIVE
DEPARTMENT: Transportation and Engineering Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council adopt a resolution to establish a no -stopping zone along the north curb of
Pamplico Drive, extending from Taryn Drive to 45 feet south of Ron Ridge Drive. Total
parking removal is approximately 1,560 feet.
BACKGROUND
On January 28, 2003, the City of Santa Clarita's Traffic Engineering Division received a
letter from a citizen who resides on Ron Ridge Drive, requesting a four-way stop at the
intersection of Pamplico Drive and Ron Ridge Drive. This intersection is currently a two-way
stop, with stop signs on Ron Ridge Drive. Traffic staff investigated the possibility of
installing a four-way (multi -way) stop at this intersection; however, the traffic study showed
that a four-way stop installation is not warranted, due to a low vehicle volume and no record
of traffic accidents in the past two years at this location.
The evaluation of the existing conditions at this intersection indicated that there are sight
distance and visibility limitations at the northwest corner of Pamplico Drive and Ron Ridge
Drive. The limited sight distance is partly due to existing trees and the curvature of the
roadway on Pamplico Drive. In order to increase visibility at this intersection,
approximately 1,560 feet of parking along the north curb of Pamplico Drive, extending from
Taryn Drive to 45 feet south of Ron Ridge Drive, must be removed. The removal of parking
in this section of Pamplico Drive would have no adverse effect on the parking demand in the
area, since there is adequate parking along the south curb of Pamplico Drive.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
1. Keep existing situation as is.
2. Other action as determined by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
The work involves the installation of 11 signs, which amount to approximately
$1,100.00. Funds for this work are available in the Field Services Signing and
Striping Maintenance account.
