RECOMMENDATION:
1) Open Public Hearing ~
2) Receive Staff presentation
3) Receive public testimony
4) Close public hearing
5) Deliberate
6) Waive reading and adopt urgency ordinance establishing
loading zone on Amador Plaza Road in front of Dublin
Honda dealership (requires 4/5 vote to adopt).
FINANCIAL STATEMENT:
Sufficient funds are budgeted in the Street Maintenance Operating
Budget to cover the cost of curb painting and/or posting signs.
DESCRIPTION: The existing red curb in front of the Dublin Honda dealership is not
included in the City's Traffic Code as a legal "no parking zone". It appears there is no safety issue
involved with the "no parking zone". However, there is a safety issue created by the transport trucks
which park in the two-way left turn lane in the center of Amador Plaza Road to unload cars. It is
therefore proposed to establish a "loading zone" in front of Dublin Honda which can be used by the
transport trucks so that the travel lanes are not obstructed. The other car dealerships in Dublin either have
an on-street loading zone or have sufficient on-site space for unloading the transports.
Staff has contacted Mr. Mark Harvey of Dublin Honda and received verbal concurrence with
establishment of the loading zone.
Under the Dublin Municipal Code, a loading zone is to be established by ordinance. Staff recommends
that this loading zone be established by urgency ordinance under Government Code Section 36937(b) on
the basis that the loading zone is needed to alleviate a safety hazard. A 4/5 vote is required for adoption
of an urgency ordinance on the basis of health and safety issues under this Code section. Staff
recommends that the City Council conduct a public hearing, waive the reading, and adopt the urgency
ordinance establishing the loading zone on the east side of Amador Plaza Road in front of Dublin Honda.
