CityCouncil | 2010-04-20 | 12 | Mayor Johnson stated vehicle size needs to be addressed for driveway parking. In response to Councilmember Tam's inquiry regarding notification, the Police Lieutenant responded a press blitz went out on February 11th and April 1st; stated information was posted on the Police Department's website. Mayor Johnson inquired whether notices were placed on vehicles also, to which the Police Lieutenant responded in the affirmative. Speaker: Adam Gillitt, Alameda. Mayor Johnson inquired what is the current twenty-foot restriction, to which the City Attorney responded vehicles need to be parked twenty feet from the sidewalk to provide clearance. Mayor Johnson stated a lot of driveways are not twenty feet long; the restriction needs to be changed; there needs to be a limitation on size; vehicles, other than automobiles, need to be back out of the front portion of the lot. The Interim City Manager stated people are going to park on the street if they cannot park within the first twenty feet of the driveway; changing the twenty-foot restriction would help relieve street parking. Mayor Johnson inquired whether the Police Department can give the citation, to which the Interim City Manager responded the issue becomes a Code Enforcement issue once the vehicle is on the other side of the sidewalk. Vice Mayor deHaan noted people are parking on apron areas. The Interim City Manager stated the issue is all-inclusive.
