MEMORANDUM

TO:
Michael C. Van Milligen, City Man,aQ.~
Gus Psihoyos, City Engineer Jfv
SUBJECT: Vizaleea Drive and Keymont Drive
FROM:
On June 5, 2006, a petition was received to establish a Residential Parking Permit
District (RPPD) on Vizaleea Drive between Pennsylvania Avenue and Keystone Drive
and Keymont Drive from Keyway Drive to its westerly terminus.
The petition represents in excess of 60 percent (60%) of the dwelling units along
Vizaleea Drive between Pennsylvania Avenue and Keystone Drive and Keymont Drive
from Keyway Drive to its westerly terminus, as is required under the ordinance. The
petition requests that the parking restriction be effective between the hours of 7 a.m.
and 3 p.m. daily, except Saturdays, Sundays and holidays.
The City's parking study of this area indicates that during the requested time period, at
least 80 percent (80%) of the curbside spaces were utilized, and at least 25 percent
(25%) of such curbside parking spaces were utilized by non-resident parkers. The
petition, therefore, meets the requirements of the RPPD ordinance.
ACTION TO BE TAKEN
At the August 7, 2006 public hearing, it is recommended that Vizaleea Drive between
Pennsylvania Avenue and Keystone Drive and Keymont Drive from Keyway Drive to its
westerly terminus between the hours of 7 a.m. and 3 p.m. daily, except Saturdays,
Sundays, and holidays be approved and designated as a Residential Parking Permit
District (RPPD).
At the public hearing, the City Council may reject the petition, adopt an ordinance
designating the proposed area as a Residential Parking Permit, or adopt an ordinance
modifying the proposed district. The City Council may also adopt alternate hours other
than the 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. parking restriction daily except Saturdays, Sundays and
holidays.
