STAFF REPORT
REQUEST: Consider Installation of Additional On -Street Parking Restrictions on
Deep Canyon Road, North of Fred Waring Drive
SUBMITTED BY: Mark Greenwood, P.E., City Engineer
DATE: September 22, 2005
CONTENTS: Vicinity Map
Recommendation:
By minute motion, concur with staff's recommendation to install
additional on -street parking restrictions on Deep Canyon Road after
implementation of the Sacred Heart Church Master Plan.
Discussion:
At the July 14, 2005 meeting City Council directed staff to review parking conditions on Deep
Canyon Road and to consider the need for any additional on -street parking restrictions. Staff
has conducted the review and recommends the restriction of on -street (curbside) parking
along the entire frontage on both sides of Deep Canyon Road north of Fred Waring Drive
after the proposed on -site parking facilities are constructed by Sacred Heart Church Master
Plan.
As documented in the Sacred Heart Church and School Master Plan traffic study and
subsequent addenda, the existing paved parking spaces available on -site at Sacred Heart
Church are unable to meet the parking demand during periods of high attendance. Curb
parking along Deep Canyon Road currently provides additional spaces for the overflow
parking demand. Implementation of the Master Plan will increase the parking supply and will
accommodate the vehicles that currently park along Deep Canyon Road.
The removal of on -street parking along Deep Canyon Road prior to implementation of the
Sacred Heart Church Master Plan is not recommended. Eliminating the on -street parking on
Deep Canyon Road, without providing on -site parking at the church in exchange, may spread
the parking demand to surrounding local streets including: Moss Rose Drive, Daylily Circle,
Coral Bells Circle, Lavender Way, Buttonwood Drive and the neighborhood streets west of
Florine Avenue.
