Presentation by Gail Ryff
City Council Meeting October 15, 2024
Item 5.g. FINAL ACCEPTANCE OF PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS
FOR TRACT 259 2428 PHASE 3 - A RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION
AT 3000 CALLE MALVA
Comments To Be Made At City Council: 3 Minutes
Some of the approved subdivision plans have overlooked private
improvements required by the conditions in Resolution 10514.
Apparently, the City lacks the authority to retroactively revise
these approved plans even to satisfy deficient city codes. Thus, it
appears the HOA could later be liable for these deficiencies
through no fault of its own.
Regardless of liability, my comments concern enforcing the no
parking requirements on the private streets within the Planned
Development (PD) Overlay Zone of this project with proper city
code street signage. Specifically, the PD identities the use of
garage parking from the Margarita Area Specific Plan (MASP),
Resolution 9615; the required conditions for no parking on these
private streets under Resolution 10514 and no parking city codes
to enforce the conditions.
Today, none of current fire lane signs posted in this development
on private streets in excess of 150' meet city code and thus,
cannot be enforced by the police department. For the smaller
streets, the current signs do not meet the Resolution 10514
conditions #67 c. "No parking except in approved, designated
spaces" and #67 d. "Grant to the City the right to tow away
vehicles on a complaint basis which are parked in unauthorized
spaces." However, City Code 10.36.100 entitled "Parking
Prohibited on Narrow Streets" authorizes no parking signs on any
street where the width doesn't exceed 20'.
This development has 43 approved, designated guest parking
spaces within the PD per the approved private street plan and
each owner has two off-street garage parking spaces per the
MASP in which the majority of dwelling units in the PD do not
have driveways.
In a recent HOA open board meeting, new Rules were introduced
converting portions of private street ends into parking spaces
without any consideration that they violate the conditions and no
parking city code on narrow streets, and impede owners from
backing out of their garages safely. It was alleged that the Fire
Marshal verbally approved this. Without going into the history,
this was already looked at by the city several years ago as not an
option. Proper city code signage to meet private street
conditions would put a stop to this.
Older residents like me are a minority in this development. We
don't want any potential liability from allowing illegally parked
vehicles on these streets. We also want our neighborhood to look
nice. Nor, do we want to feel intimated by those who appear to
disregard city parking codes and aesthetics.
Honorable Mayor Stewart and City Council is it possible the City
Manager could coordinate with the appropriate city departments
to put in place the right signage to meet parking code restrictions
once and for all? In most cases, we are merely talking about
replacing current signs with correct ones.
Finally, I sincerely wish to thank city staff for all of their efforts.
Thank you.
