Meeting Date: August 27, 2002

Subject/Title: Amending an Ordinance Sections 10.13.210 and 10.13.220 of the Brentwood Municipal Code concerning stopping, standing, and parking.

Submitted by: Engineering: Bailey Grewal/ Sam Peiris
D. Beougher

Approved by: John Stevenson, City Manager

RECOMMENDATION 
Amending Ordinance Sections 10.13.210 and 10.13.220 of the Brentwood Municipal Code concerning stopping, standing, and parking and authorize the City Engineer to determine the appropriate time limits for vehicle parking for a period of time no longer than the notice, curb marking or sign state. 

PREVIOUS ACTION 
On February 10, 1998, the City Council adopted Title 10 of the Brentwood Municipal Code Ordinance No. 592 pertaining to vehicular parking.

BACKGROUND
The City Council has had previous discussions regarding inadequate downtown parking. The residents and business owners have requested on numerous occasions for staff to find a solution. After analyzing and walking the downtown area, staff noticed that during school hours, Liberty High School students use a considerable amount of the parking. As high school attendance increases, so does the number of student vehicles utilizing public parking. To improve this parking issue, the City and the School District shared construction cost and expanded the Liberty High School parking lot from 188 spaces to 345 spaces. The construction for this parking lot has been completed, and City staff has installed proper signs to restrict the parking in the downtown area. However, high school students are still parking their vehicles in public spaces intended primarily for non-student use. 

Staff’s recommendation for solving this problem is to amend the parking ordinance and then enforce it appropriately. 

The attached Exhibit “A” depicts the locations and associated time limits for new parking restricted areas based on the proposed amendment to the Ordinance.
