SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL
MEETING DATE: May 6, 2009 AGENDA ITEM:
DEPARTMENT: Public Works CITY MANAGER: Dave Anderson
PREPARED BY: Kristin Borel DIRECTOR: John Cherbone
Public Works Analyst
SUBJECT: Motor Vehicle (MV) Resolution authorizing 15 Minute Parking
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:
Move to adopt the Motor Vehicle Resolution authorizing two “15 Minute Parking” spaces on the
Frontage Road adjacent to Blaney Plaza
REPORT SUMMARY:
The City received a request from the owner of Planet Juice for two 15-minute parking spaces near
the store. The location of the two restricted spaces is in front of 14410 Big Basin Way across from
Blaney Plaza along the Frontage Road that feeds into Saratoga-Los Gatos Road. These spaces
would support the businesses in the area which provide services with a quick turn around. The
owner of Planet Juice contacted the building owner and the adjacent business owners regarding the
request. All were in support of the proposed change.
It is therefore recommended that two parking spaces along this section be restricted to 15 minutes
between 9:00 A.M-6:00 P.M. In order to enforce the new parking restrictions, it is necessary that
the attached Motor Vehicle Resolution be adopted by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACTS:
Approximately $250 in labor and materials is required for the City to post signs. These
improvements are paid through the CIP which has a fund devoted to Traffic Safety.
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED ACTION:
The MV Resolution would not be adopted and parking conditions would continue as is.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
None.
