Primary Issues to Consider
· What were the Zoning & Planning Commission's comments?
The Zoning & Planning Commission reviewed the proposed changes and supports
them. They had no additional comments.
· Analysis of the three parking sites
Exhibit A.
Staff proposes to post "No Parking" on the east side of 11th Ave. North from
Mainstreet to 1 st Street North. There is a hazard to vehicles entering 11th Avenue
from Lot 500 under current parking conditions. Site lines are obstructed and the
danger is compounded by oncoming accelerating vehicles having cleared the
intersection at Mainstreet. There is increased pedestrian traffic in this area and
street crossings are made more dangerous for people trying to access the Arts
Center and the library on the west side of 11th Avenue.
e
Exhibit A calls for closing two parking stalls south of the alley serving Lot 500
and closing four stalls between this alley and Tait's driveway. Staff feels this
provides optimum safety for vehicles moving from the parking lot into the street.
Exhibit B.
Citigables residents have voiced concern over safety associated with egress from
their site parking areas. The exhibit illustrates closing off eight parking stalls
along the east side of 12th Ave. South from 1 st Street South to approximately 200
feet north to address sight line issues.
Exhibit C.
The Parking Committee has recommended changes in posted parking regulations
along the west side of Jackson Ave. North from S1. Louis Street to 2nd Street NE.
Some sections along this route are posted with two-hour parking restrictions, and
this plan would eliminate that feature. The illustrated layout was one reached by
consensus of the committee and businesses in the neighborhood.
. Recommendations.
Staff recommends approval of Exhibits A, B and C.
.
.
ALTERNATIVES
The Council has the following alternatives regarding this matter:
1. Approve the action as recommended by staff. This will allow the execution of the
recommended parking changes.
2. Continue for additional information. The Council needs to detail to staff
specifically what additional information is required to make a decision on this
matter.
3. Deny approval for execution of the recommended parking changes.
