TO: City Council
FROM: Director of Public Works/City Engineer and Police Chief
ESTABLISHMENT OF NO PARKING AREA ON EAST PALM CANYON DRIVE, SOUTH
FRONTAGE ROAD.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that City Council establish a no parking area in accordance with
Chapter 12.32.010 of the Municipal Code on both sides of the East Palm Canyon Drive,
South Frontage Road between Smoke Tree Lane and Barona Road.
SUMMARY:
Approval of the attached Resolution will authorize the Public Works Department to post
both sides of the South Frontage Road for no parking and allow for enforcement by the
Police Department.
BACKGROUND:
Both sides of the Frontage Road on the south side of East Palm Canyon Drive, east of
Smoke Tree Lane, are increasingly being used by individuals wishing to sell vehicles,
including automobiles, trucks and boats. The vehicles are parked along both sides of the
Frontage Road adjacent to vacant property. Staff has observed these individuals walking
out between the parked vehicles, posing a potential hazard to themselves from passing
motorists. Chapter 12.32.010 of the Municipal Code allows for the establishment of no
parking areas by City Council Resolution. Chapter 12.32.080 further allows posting and
maintenance of these no parking areas by means of appropriate signs.
Since the adjacent property is vacant, there is no apparent need for on-street parking in
this location.
