RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Traffic Resolution No. 2019/4481 to establish preferential parking (permit parking) between 7 AM and 4 PM, Monday through Friday (excluding holidays and permit excepted) on Circle Drive (Road No. 3845CA), beginning at the intersection of Newell Avenue (Road No. 3844A) and extending southeasterly to its terminus, as recommended by the Public Works Director, Walnut Creek area. (District II)

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

Public Works Staff was contacted by a resident requesting permit-parking on Circle Drive due to ongoing parking by Las Lomas High School students and other non-residents. Public Works Traffic Engineering staff responded by conducting a site visit assessment confirming the parking issue, and determined that the request merited further investigation and met the criteria established for preferential parking privileges allowed under County Ordinance Code Chapter 46-10. The assessment resulted in Public Works staff preparing and sending survey petition letters to adjacent neighbors to determine if support for this parking designation existed. Public Works subsequently received confirmation in the form of a large majority of residents responding positively to the petition indicating support for the designation of permit-parking on the public roadway. Therefore, Public Works Traffic Engineering recommends establishment of permit parking on Circle Drive.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Parking will remain unrestricted at this location.
