Adopt Resolution Repealing Designated "No Parking" Zone
FINANCIAL STATEMENT: Sufficient funds are budgeted in the Street Maintenance Operating
Budget to cover the cost of removing existing "No Parking" signs
and red curb.
DESCRIPTION: On July 25, 1988, the City Council adopted Resolution 105-88
designating a "No Parking" zone on the northerly and southerly curblines of Houston Place from Dougherty
Road to the end of the street. The "No Parking" zone was established in order to provide adequate access for
regular traffic and emergency vehicles to abutting land uses due to a limited street width. Subsequently, and
as part of the acceptance of improvements for Parcel Map 7537 (Iron Horse Trail Apartments by Archstone
Communities Trust), the City Council adopted Resolution 20-03 on February 18, 2003, which included a
"No Parking" restriction for vehicles over 20 feet in length along the north side of Houston Place between
Dougherty Road and the easterly parcel map boundary.
The northerly curbline of Houston Place was recently relocated as part of the Archstone project
improvements, and the street was widened to 40 feet and extended to the newly constructed Scarlett Drive
connection to Dougherty Road. As a result, Houston Place is now wide enough to accommodate vehicle
parking on both sides of the street, while also providing adequate access for regular traffic and emergency
vehicles. Therefore, the designated "No Parking" zone on Houston Place (as established by Resolution
105-88) is no longer necessary for ease of access purposes, and a repeal of this zone would be consistent
with the provisions of Resolution 20-03.
Staff recommends that the City Council conduct a public hearing, deliberate, and adopt the resolution
repealing the designated "No Parking" zone on Houston Place east of Dougherty Road.
