APPROVED STAFF RECOWENDATION
FROM: BOB LEDENDECKER, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS/CITY ENGINEER
SUBJECT: HEATHERFIELD DRIVE RED ZONES
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Tustin City Council, at their meeting of August 16, 1982, authorize staff
to proceed with the red zoning of curbs adjacent to and between driveways along
Heatherfield Drive and Sandwood Place as shown on the attached drawing.
BACKGROUND:
At their August 2, 1982 meeting, the City Council authorized the following
actions:
1. On -street parking prohibition during hours of
street sweeping along Heatherfield Dr. between
Mitchell Ave. and Sandwood P1.
2. Red zoning of curb returns at the
southeasterly and southwesterly corners of
Heatherfield Drive and Mitchell Avenue and the
northeasterly corner of Heatherfield Drive and
Sandwood Place.
and requested staff to respond back at the August 16, 1982 meeting with the
following items:
1. A check of the existing red curbing along Mitchell Avenue for
unauthorized painting by private property owners.
2. Contact the residents of 1777 Mitchell Ave. via mail and request
that they not use Heatherfield Drive for on -street parking.
3. Investigation of any blatant violations of misuse of on-site parking
spaces (carports used as patios) at 1777 Mitchell Ave.
4. A review of the requested red curbing adjacent to and between
driveways.
DISCUSSION:
Items No. 1 and 2 of the authorized actions have been forwarded to the Maintenance
Division for implementation.
Item No. 1 of the remaining items has been field checked and no additional red
curbs have been painted by private property owners. The existing red curbs are as
outlined on the original plan as approved by City Council.

DISCUSSION: (Continued)
Items No. 2 and No. 3 of the remaining items are being handled by the Police and
the Community Development Departments respectively.
A plan for Item No. 4, painting of red curbs adjacent to driveways, has been
reviewed and is shown on the attached drawing. These red curbs provide a clear
area on each side of the driveways ranging from three to eight feet. They do not
eliminate any on -street parking spaces. All curbs between adjacent drives have
also been recommended for red curbing.

DISCUSSION
Below are the findings of a survey concerning the parking situation at 1777
Mitchell.

* Carports were obstructed at the time of the survey by
miscellaneous items, patio furniture, etc. Three of the five
units with carports blocked also have converted or obstructed
garage areas.
** "Best Case" situation counts only garages that have obviously been
converted to living space. "Worst Case" includes garages that
appear to have been modified, or else have been modified only
slightly and could be returned to garages very easily.
Verification of apparent conversions is not attainable without an
interior inspection of the units.
CONCLUSIONS
Current zoning requirements, in terms of on-site parking, provide that each
unit should have at least two on-site parking spaces. Even with the worst
case scenario, there are more than two spaces per unit and since there are
only three instances where a unit's carport & garage have been obstructed,
there is no compelling reason for the excessive use of on -street parking by
residents of the complex.
