Background

The Traffic Engineering Division has received a request to modify an existing

ordinance (07-63) that enacts parking restrictions along Commerce Street. In

the past, an investigation revealed that when vehicles are parked on both sides

of the street, tractor-trailers are not able to access the loading docks or

make the turn out of the loading dock areas. Currently, an auto mechanic shop

in this area will benefit from on-street parking and it would not interfere

with tractor-trailer traffic.



This ordinance will repeal all of Ordinance 07-63 and re-instate the "No

Parking Anytime" zones on Phillips Street and along the east curb of Commerce

Street. The "No Parking Anytime" zones along the west curb of Commerce will be

modified in the new ordinance as shown in the figure provided.

Analysis

The Traffic Engineering Division met with the current property owner and the

lessor of the lots impacted by the modified parking ordinance. The owner is in

favor and the lessor is not opposed to the change.

Financial Considerations

The cost of installing Official Traffic Control signs will be derived from the

Traffic Engineering operating budget.

Projected Annual Fiscal Impact Statement

Legal Considerations

All ordinances require the approval of Council.

Recommendations/ Actions

Approve the attached ordinance that modifies the "No Parking Anytime" zones

along Commerce Street and retains the Phillips Street "No Parking Anytime"

zone.
