ENG ESTABLISH A NO PARKING ZONE ON THE SOUTHERLY SIDE OF A PORTION OF CAMINO DE LOS COCHES DEPT. HEAD CITY ATTY. CITYMGR. ~\fj—•"" RECOMMENDED ACTION: Introduce Ordinance No.NS-895 to establish a NO PARKING zone on the southerly side of Camino de los Coches from Rancho Santa Fe Road to Maverick Way. ITEM EXPLANATION: Camino de los Coches is classified as a secondary arterial on the Circulation Element and is improved with concrete curb and gutter, sidewalk, and street lights on both sides. The road has a curb-to-curb width of 64 feet. Between Rancho Santa Fe Road and Calle Timiteo, two eastbound traffic lanes and a bicycle lane are provided. On-street parking is prohibited between Rancho Santa Fe Road and Calle Timiteo. East of Calle Timiteo, eastbound Camino de los Coches transitions from two travel lanes to a single travel lane with a parking lane and bicycle lane provided. Based upon traffic operations and heavy traffic volumes in the vicinity of La Costa Canyon High School, the existing parking lane/bicycle lane is used by eastbound high school traffic as a through lane between Calle Timiteo and Maverick Way (high school entrance driveway). The Police Department has requested a re-striping of eastbound Camino de los Coches to provide two eastbound traffic lanes from Rancho Santa Fe Road to Maverick Way. To provide the additional eastbound traffic lane between Calle Timiteo and Maverick Way, elimination of the parking lane is necessary. The bicycle lane would remain and would be striped adjacent to the southerly curb and gutter. On-street demand for parallel parking on the southerly side of Camino de los Coches within the subject street segment is low. However, occasional special events at Stagecoach Park results in full utilization of all on-street parking on Camino de los Coches. Both Stagecoach Park and La Costa Canyon High School have off-street parking facilities. At their December 3, 2007 meeting, the Traffic Safety Commission recommended by a 4-0 vote that on-street parking be eliminated between Calle Timiteo and Maverick Way to provide for the additional eastbound lane. The new eastbound lane would terminate at Maverick Way in a right-turn only configuration. Striping the new lane configuration would be performed during the summer when the high school is not in session. The existing portion of the southerly side of Camino de los Coches where parking is prohibited between Rancho Santa Fe Road and Calle Timiteo is included in the attached ordinance. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: The installation of regulatory signs and striping revisions (both are official traffic control devices) is a project that is a Class 1 categorical exemption (minor alteration of an existing structure or facility) and is exempt from the environmental review process under the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), section 15301(c).

COUNCIL ACTION: APPROVED DENIED CONTINUED WITHDRAWN AMENDED *Dnnn CONTINUED TO DATE SPECIFIC CONTINUED TO DATE UNKNOWN RETURNED TO STAFF OTHER - SEE MINUTES n D Dn Page 2 FISCAL IMPACT: Re-striping of Camino de los Coches to provide the additional through lane will require the removal of the existing bicycle lane and parking lane, striping the new traffic lane, and striping the bicycle lane in its new location adjacent to the curb and gutter. Additional No Parking Bicycle Lanes signs will be installed after striping is complete. The estimated cost of the work to be performed by the Carlsbad Public Works Streets Department is under $5,000. Sufficient funds are available in the Public Works Streets Department budget. EXHIBITS: 1. Location Map. 2.
