The original request was initiated in June, 1982 by Nursery Supplies West, Inc. with a follow-up request by three additional businesses in December, 1982. DISCUSSION: In June, 1982, after receiving a verbal request from Nursery Supplies, Inc. for the removal of the parking restrictions along Santa Fe Drive, staff requested that the other businesses be informed of the request and that they express their desires to the City. Responses from four of the five businesses along Santa Fe Drive are in favor of the removal of the 2 hour parking. The one business which has either not been contacted or did not respond is Golden West Plastics, 1492 Santa Fe Dr., which was the firm that initiated the request for 2 hour parking restriction several years ago. This request was based upon the need to provide on-street parking on Santa Fe Dr. for their clients and eliminate the long-term parking by Marine Corps personnel. At the time the 2 hour parking restriction was placed on Santa Fe Drive, two of the businesses, La Vecke Corporation and Medical Community Support, did not exist at their locations on Santa Fe Drive. Staff has reviewed the site and found the following with respect to available on-site parking stalls: TWO HOUR PARKING RESTRICTION - SANTA FE DRIVE FEBRUARY 2, 1983 PAGE TWO Golden West Plastics, 1492 Santa Fe Dr. -Adequate spaces in a parking lot located southerly of the building. Nursery Supplies, Inc., 1432 Santa Fe -No parking spaces being utilized within their parking lot. The parking lot is being utilized for storage of their manufactured product, which appears to be a violation of the Zoning Code. In addition, on several occassions, Nursery Supplies, Inc. has been storing their manufactured product in refuse dumpsters placed within the public right-of-way (Santa Fe Drive). Bar None, Inc., 1302 Santa Fe Dr. -All parking spaces on site appear to be utilized the majority of the time. La Vecke Corp., 1491 Santa Fe Dr. -Adequate parking spaces exist on-site for employees and customers. Medical C~,m,~nity Support, 1301-197i Santa Fe Dr. -Adequate parking ' ' spaces .exist on-site for employees and customers. CONCLUSIONS: It appears that the firm initiating this request, Nursery Supplies', Inc. has an on-site problem consisting of the inadequate storage space for their manufactured product which requires them to utilize the on-site parking spaces for storage. In order to provide adequate on-site street parking for the clients of all the busineses, it is suggested that the 2 hour parking restriction remain in place along Santa Fe Drive. The removal of any parking restriction along this street will most likely attract the long-term parking by Marine Corps personnel which existed previous to the signing. BOB LEDENDECKER DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS/ CITY ENGINEER db cc: Charles Thayer December 29, 1982 City of Tustin 300 Centennial Way Tustin, CA 92680 RE: Two-Hour Parking Limit - Santa Fe Drive Dear Sir, In June 6f 1982 the tennants on Santa Fe Drive requested removal of a 2 hour parking restriction. At that time you asked for additional information from each'firm, substantiating that request. Enclosed are letters from each of the firms on Santa Fe Drive stating t]ielr reasons for elimination of the parking restriction. We will appreciate your expeditous processing of our request Sincerely, Tennants of Santa Fe Drive June 10, 1982 City of Tustin 300 Centennial Way Tustin, CA 92680 Dear Sir, Our company is requesting elimination of the two hour parking limit on Santa Fe Drive. We believe the two hour limit was imposed, at a prior time, to eliminate vagrancy. This was before the north side of Santa Fe Drive and surrounding areas were developed. Since this area and our businesses have grown, we are experiencing an increased number of customers, salespersons and employees. These people are necessary for the continued 'growth of a Tustin concern and should no.t be subjec% to the inconvenience of relocating their autos every two hours. Our company, for reasons of security and safety do not want visitors within our manufacturing site.. We would appreciate the City of Tustin's compliance with our request and help eliminate the intermittent disruption of our businesses. Sincerely, Ted J. Guarriello Nursery Supplies West,Inc. TJG:sld June 8, 1982 City of T~stin Bob Ledendecker Director of Public Works and City Engineer i~stin, CA 92680 Dear Mr. Ledendecker, We request that the ~two hour.parking limit be removed from Santa Fe Drive. We presently have fifteen full-time e~ployees and three to five seasonal part-time employees. We do not have parkim~ spaces in that quantity available. There is no where for all of us to park if we do not use the street. It is also very embs~rrassing when we have business callers who stay for a meeting and lunch to have their cars marked and occassionaly ticketed for being here over two hours. Throug~ traffic is almost non-exsistant on Santa Fe and we feel it would not put undue haza~s on traffic to allow parking on the street. Sincerely, BAR NONE, INC. John F.
