FROM: PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT/ENGINEERING DIVISION STATUS UPDATE: REQUEST TO REMOVE PARKING RESTRICTIONS ON SUBJEC~ MYFORD ROAD AND HERITAGE WAY (ARCADA CONDOMINIUM DEVELOPMENT- EAST TUSTIN TRACT NO. 13096) RECOMMENDATIONS: It is recommended that the City Council, at their meeting of July 6, 1993, receive and file the subject report. FISCAL IMPACT: The Engineering Division has expended almost $5,200.00, to this date, in preparation of a Traffic Study, in coordination with the Arcada Community Association and with the Orange County Fire Department regarding this issue. These funds were absorbed by the Engineering Division's FY 92-93 budget for City staff salaries and Engineering Consultant Services. It is estimated that costs for final coordination of this issue with the Community Association will be approximately $500.00, which can be included in the Engineering Division's FY 93-94 budget for City staff salaries and Engineering Consultant Services. The recommended modifications to on-site parking facilities within the Arcada .Development would be implemented by the Arcada Community Association and would have no fiscal impact to the City. BACKGROUND: At the City Council meeting on December 21, 1992, the Council considered an item entitled, "Request To Remove Parking Restrictions on Myford Road and Heritage Way". After considerable discussion of the item, the · Council directed staff to conduct an internal study to consider easing parking restrictions on Myford Road and Heritage Way. The aforementioned study was completed by staff and was placed on the Council agenda of February 16, 1993. At the February 16, 1993 Council meeting, it was requested by Councilmember Potts to continue this item until the March 1, 1993 Council meeting. On February 24, 1993, the City received a request from the Arcada Community Association to continue this item until further notice. Subsequently, the City Council tabled this item indefinitely. A copy of the Council Action Agenda from the March 1, 1993 meeting is attached. In February 199'3, the Engineering Division staff-prepared a trafYic evaluation study investigating the possibility of allowing on-street parking on Myford Road between Bryan Avenue and Heritage Way, and on Heritage Way between Myford Road and Bryan Avenue. Based.upon the study, it was determined that on-street parking should not be allowed on Heritage Way since this would compromise traffic safety on the street by further impeding already limited vehicular visibility and would also preclude the future addition of planned bicycle lanes on Heritage Way. It was also determined that any attempt to modify the street striping on Myford Road to provide on-street parking would require the relocation of traffic signal loop detectors and re-signing the area to reflect the changes. It would also preclude the implementation of a left-turn pocket for accessing the future development on the site to the west side of Myford Road opposite the Arcada Development, and would eliminate the existing left-turn median area, thereby increasing the City's liability exposure by creating a possible increased potential for rear-end type of accidents. Based upon the study, it was concluded that the overall citywide traveling public would be best served by maintaining the current parking restrictions on Myford Road and Heritage Way. DISCUSSION: Since the March 1, 1993 City Council meeting, Engineering Division staff has coordinated with the City's Community Development Department and the Orange County Fire Department to develop on-site parking alternatives to provide additional parking within the Arcada Development. This cooperative effort has resulted in the recommendation of on-site facility modifications that would provide an additional nineteen parking spaces within the Arcada Development. The recommendations for modification of on-site facilities to provide additional parking were presented to Mr. Mark Gay of the Arcada Community Association on May 13, 1993 at a meeting within the Arcada Development. At that time, Mr. Gay explained that the recommendations would need to be reviewed and approved by the Community Association Board prior to implementation of any of the proposed measures. In a follow-up telephone conversation on June 14, 1993 with Mr. Gay it was learned that the Board of Directors for the Community Association has changed personnel and that the on-site parking recommendations would · be revisited by the Board sometime during the months of July or August 1993. Mr. Gay also informed staff that he would be informing the City 6f any approved changes by the Community Association Board to the on- site parking situation when they occurred. CONCLUSION: City staff will continue to coordinate the implementation of the recommended on-site parking improvements within the Arcada Development with the Arcada Community Association. We will return with a status report to the Council when decisions have been made by the Arcada Community Association Board regarding on-site parking modifications.
