NO PARKING ZONE- PANDHANDLE DRIVE
City Council consider adopting an Ordinance amending Section 23-63, No Parking
Zones, Restricted Parking Zones of the City Code of Ordinances to establish a No
Parking zone on the east and west side of Panhandle Drive south of Dove Road.
BACKGROUND:
During the weekends, motorists who use the bike trails in the area usually park along
Panhandle Drive and make it difficult for the fire station vehicles to exit and enter the fire
station. The No Parking Zone will allow fire station vehicles to safely and easily enter
and exit the fire station driveway.
The proposed No Parking Zone will extend approximately 100 feet south from the corner
of Panhandle Drive/ Dove Road on both sides of Panhandle Drive. In addition to
eliminating the parking on the fire station side, this will also eliminate a portion of the
parking for the home at 2808 Panhandle Drive (located opposite to the fire station).
However, more than 50 feet of curb space in front of the home will still be available for
parking. The property owner and the current renter of the property have both been
informed in writing and have no objections to the proposed No Parking Zone.
The proposed No Parking Zone will not have a significant impact on other residences
located on Panhandle Drive.
Staff recommends approval.
