CITY TRAFFIC COT'Il�tISSION

AGENDA MOTION MINUTES
CONSIDERATION ITEMS CONTINUED Therefore, it is obvious of the need for
higher traffic carying capacity on Rampart
St. , which as of now is capable of being
striped to four through lanes. The requested
provision for on-street parkingt,, however�
would jeporadize the ability for such an
improvement when traffic demand so dictates.
This is well examplified in the city effort
to remove on-street parking from Tustin Sta
for add�d travel lan�s. Also, it is not the
city's practice to supplement park.ing spac�s
in the form of on-street parking to
fac�litate commer�ial parlcing uses. It is
the property owner'a responsibility to
anticipate tenant.'s futur� parking demand anr�
if so faced with a parking deficiency to
locat� alt�rcnate parking sources.
Staff woul.d also point out that it a.s to the
advantage of the us�rs a�c���.ng Rampart �t. �
to re�trict on-street parkinc� in ord�� to
avoid possible sight distance prablem� due to
vehicles parking near driveways, esp�cially
in view of the many sharp curves along this
street.
DISCUSSION:
Carl Boznanan - We have experienced sorne
parking overload at our faczlity, we thought
this request might help solve the prob�.em.
W� only want to park on the southeast corner
(4-5 parking spaces) , for daytime parking
onJ_y.
Bernie Dennis - Have you considered the
possibility of a parking agreement with the
theat�rs?
Carl Bozanan - Yes, we have looked into it
but the th�aters would like their overflow to
be able� to use our parking as well, and we
think this might be a safety problem.
Gene Shaw - Do you have a potential time
_- , schedule for re-striping Rampart St. for 4
- - -- � �'� r lanes? -
- Bernie Dennis - Its scheduled for this fiscal
year, to restripe and have no parking.
