RESOLUTION FOR OVERNIGHT PARKING RESTRICTIONS ON
SAN FERNANDO ROAD, NORTH OF 13TH STREET
Public Works
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council adopt a resolution establishing overnight parking restrictions on San Fernando
Road, north of 13th Street.
BACKGROUND
The City frequently receives complaints from area residents regarding vehicles parked for
extended periods of time along the eastside of San Fernando Road and north of 13th Street. Many
of the vehicles left in the area are for sale by their owners, creating an on -street used car lot.
Other vehicles left in the area include large trucks and some that may be abandoned.
Establishment of overnight parking restrictions will prevent owners from leaving their cars in the
area for extended periods of time, making it difficult to utilize the area for the purposes of
offering their cars for sale. The local businesses have been contacted regarding the proposal and
agree with the plan to restrict overnight parking in the area.
The proposed overnight parking restrictions will be along the easterly side of San Fernando Road
from 13th Street to a point 2,000 feet north. There is currently a no -stopping zone in place along
the easterly curb of San Fernando Road to the north of this proposed overnight restriction.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Other action as determined by the City Council.

Striping and Signing Maintenance Account No. 14504-5111.010.
