ESTABLISH A NO -STOPPING ANY TIME ZONE
Public Works
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council adopt a resolution establishing an approximate 290 -foot "no -stopping any time"
zone around the cul-de-sac at the westerly end of Banyon Place.
BACKGROUND
Banyon Place (Exhibit "A") is a residential street that ends in a cul-de-sac at its westerly side.
The cul-de-sac consists of a central island and three driveways leading to the Mountain View
Courtyard apartments. Staff received complaints from Mountain View Courtyard residents
concerning an increase of parking in the cul-de-sac due to changes in parking rules and
regulations imposed by the Seco Canyon Homeowners' Association, which limits parking inside
their properties. The residents are concerned that parked vehicles along the cul-de-sac are
restricting sight visibility for vehicles exiting the south driveway onto Banyon Place.
Staff reviewed the area and concluded that due to the central island, the existing width of the
cul-de-sac is insufficient to allow for parked vehicles, as well as providing an adequate path for
large vehicles and fire trucks. Staff, therefore, recommends that parking be eliminated (see
Exhibit "B") around the cul-de-sac in order to improve visibility for exiting vehicles at the
driveway, as well as ensure easy access for all types of vehicles around the cul-de-sac. Staff
contacted the Seco Canyon Homeowners' Association and they agreed to the proposed parking
restriction.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
1. Keep existing situation as is.
2. Other action as determined by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
