DOUGLAS FRANKS Chief of Police WDF:dh - TE: MAY 12, 1992 Inter Com TO: DOUG FRANKS, CHIEF OF POLICE FROM ROBERT S. LEDENDECKER, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS/CITY ENGINEER S U BJ "T: REQUEST TO MODIFY CITY CODE SECTION 5332 REGARDING LOADING AND UNLOADING ZONES =t is requested that the Police Department give consideration to modifying the Tustin City Code sections 5332c(1) and 5332c(2) . The :.roposed modifications would include allowing the loading and ::nloading of materials from any vehicle instead of commercial ;eh.icles only. According to the California Vehicle Code, yellow -urbing: "indicates stopping only for the purpose of loading or unloading passengers or freight for the time as may be specified by local ordinance." ^he Tustin City Code currently allows only commercial vehicles to :oad and unload in yellow loading zones. While this condition may ::e easy to enforce, it may not be providing the small business people of the City with adequate service. Public Works has =ecently received a. request to install a yellow loading zone at 130 Zentennial Way so that the small businesses located there can load _nd unload their vehicles. The need to be able to load and unload .r©m any vehicle has been expressed. In this case this request seems reasonable. I yellow loading zone has been recently painted at the noted vocation and the business owners requesting the loading zone have een informed that the loading and unloading of materials is -iimited to the use of commercial vehicles. Attached are various _etters for this case. Please contact Chuck Mackey or Doug nderson of my staff if further information is needed., 'obert S.
