Body
COUNTY AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER GOALS & OBJECTIVES
Provide for the Safety, Health and Social Service Needs of County Residents.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Approval of this item will not result in the use of Discretionary General Funding (Net County Cost). The proposed Resolution will not result in significant costs to the Department of Public Works (Department). The minor administrative costs of $1,000 to update Department records and the cost to install and maintain signage for the “No Parking of Vehicles/Tow-Away Zone” are minimal and will be funded by Gas Tax Revenue. Sufficient appropriation and revenue have been included in the Department’s 2023-24 Road Operations budget.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Residents in the Chino area, and Land Use Services Department, Code Enforcement Division, and California Highway Patrol (CHP) have expressed concerns regarding vehicles parked along the two sides of Phillips Boulevard causing nuisance issues to the public. Vehicles and trailers parked long term on Phillips Boulevard close to the residential houses create noise issues and generate trash and debris on and around the roadway. The sections of Phillips Boulevard identified for parking restrictions do not provide primary access to adjacent residential properties and so will not adversely impact immediate parking to any residential properties.
A request to enforce a “No Parking of Vehicles/Tow-Away Zone” was received by area residents, prompting the Department to conduct a traffic engineering investigation along Phillips Boulevard from Roswell Avenue to Pipeline Avenue in the Chino area. Based upon the Department’s traffic engineering investigation, the Department recommends the Board of Supervisors establish, pursuant to County Code Section 52.0132(a), a “No Parking of Vehicles/Tow-Away Zone” along the north side of Phillips Boulevard from Roswell Avenue easterly for a distance of 735 feet, and along the south side of Phillips Boulevard from Roswell Avenue easterly for a distance of 1,150 feet, in the Chino area.
The proposed Resolution will also direct the Road Commissioner to perform such acts as are necessary to implement the Resolution, which includes posting signage, to assist in improving the safety of the motorists traveling along the roadway.
This item aligns with the County and the Chief Executive Officer’s goals and objectives to provide for the safety and health of County residents by reducing noise and having less trash and debris on and around the roadway.
