Before issuing the work order for the initial red curb painting, Bryan had confirmed that his site review confirmed the need for the full red curb painting limits. For this location, the objective design/safety standards checked are: (a) maintain minimum 15’ NO PARKING setback from the fire hydrant per the fire code (b) maintain minimum 20’ NO PARKING setback from the adjacent crosswalk per state daylighting law (c) confirm that on-street parking does not conflict with sufficient roadway clear width for two cars to pass safely (20’ min or 2x 10’ lanes) (d) confirm that on-street parking or other vertical obstructions would not create a line-of-sight impediment for drivers approaching the roundabout on San Luis Ranch Road from seeing a pedestrian entering the crosswalk at the roundabout.

What I know is that she submitted a complaint on a Saturday, and you guys had a work order drawn up by 11am on the very next Monday, while using inaccurate measurements to justify removing the space, and had the curb painted red without any notice, ever talking to me, or doing any outreach first. I had no issues with site lines coming out of my driveway when a car was parked there, I had been parking there for 3 years, and the space was properly laid out and built in accordance with the plans approved by PW and consistent with City Engineering Standards. Factually, my public records request revealed that the space actually complied with all of the laws and standards you cited to justify the initial creation of the work order. I am concerned about the evolution of the narrative around this, especially now that there are new "design constraints" to consider. I think that staff made a mistake by prematurely removing a space based on the position of Council Member Marx, when you should have taken accurate measurements and explained to her that it met standards, and that the community was purposefully designed with narrow roads. If people driving through there were concerned about hitting the car parked there, it was probably because they were driving too fast coming into the development. Now, cars have no reason to slow down as they drive by my house where I have a 10 year old and 14 year old coming and going on their bikes everyday.

Based on the complaint, it seems like Council Member Marx's concern was more about how parking in this location was affecting the flow of traffic, which my understanding is precisely what the narrow streets are supposed to do. This is similar to the complaints the City has received about new bike lanes and traffic designs for Chorro and downtown; however, I am not aware of the City making any modifications to those areas based on these similar kinds of complaints. Additionally, I received a parking ticket for parking in front of my own driveway over the weekend. This activity is pretty regular and consistent throughout the medium density areas of the development, and very prevalent when Cal Poly students are in town. There was even a morning a couple of weeks ago where a neighbor of mine was ticketed for parking the wrong direction on the street, and I did not receive a citation for parking in front of my driveway at that time. If the City thinks that there is a problem with this, then I recommend an educational effort to notify residents that the City intends to begin enforcing that standard since many residents have been parking in front of their own driveway for several years now with no consequence.

I reviewed the complaints against the red curb and my truck, as well as the staff follow-up. It appears that Council Member Marx and Bryan Wheeler did not measure the red curb accurately.

From my perspective, it feels like a council member targeted me because she didn't like my truck being parked there. What I know is that she submitted a complaint on a Saturday, and you guys had a work order drawn up by 11am on the very next Monday, while using inaccurate measurements to justify removing the space, and had the curb painted red without any notice, ever talking to me, or doing any outreach first. I had no issues with site lines coming out of my driveway when a car was parked there, I had been parking there for 3 years, and the space was properly laid out and built in accordance with the plans approved by PW and consistent with City Engineering Standards. Factually, my public records request revealed that the space actually complied with all of the laws and standards you cited to justify the initial creation of the work order. I am concerned about the evolution of the narrative around this, especially now that there are new "design constraints" to consider. I think that staff made a mistake by prematurely removing a space based on the position of Council Member Marx, when you should have taken accurate measurements and explained to her that it met standards, and that the community was purposefully designed with narrow roads. If people driving through there were concerned about hitting the car parked there, it was probably because they were driving too fast coming into the development. Now, cars have no reason to slow down as they drive by my house where I have a 10 year old and 14 year old coming and going on their bikes everyday.

I took the overall measurement from the fire hydrant to the joint in the curb where the apron of my driveway begins. There is now 34'-4" of red curb beyond the fire hydrant. I confirmed that the original red curb extended to exactly 15' beyond the fire hydrant, leaving a total of 19'-4" to the edge of my driveway apron. It appears to me that the City removed a parking spot that previously complied with the 2025 Engineering Standards and current traffic laws.

The red curb starts about 4 feet from the crsswalk. The red curb is 14 feet according to my measurements, which means the red curb needs to be extended at least 2 feet.

Extending the red curb all the way to the driveway would make sense, given that cars which presently park in that space often block traffic coming into the neighborhood, especially when cars on the opposite side of the street are trying to exit into the roundabout.

The red curb starts about 4 feet from the crsswalk. The red curb is 14 feet according to my measurements, which means the red curb needs to be extended at least 2 feet. Under VC 22514, no vehicle may park within 15 feet of a fire hydrant. The red curb, which extends beyond the fir hydrant is 14 feet. Extending the red curb all the way to the driveway would make sense, given that cars which presently park in that space often block traffic coming into the neighborhood, especially when cars on the opposite side of the street are trying to exit into the roundabout.

From my perspective, it feels like a council member targeted me because she didn't like my truck being parked there. What I know is that she submitted a complaint on a Saturday, and you guys had a work order drawn up by 11am on the very next Monday, while using inaccurate measurements to justify removing the space, and had 3 the curb painted red without any notice, ever talking to me, or doing any outreach first. I had no issues with site lines coming out of my driveway when a car was parked there, I had been parking there for 3 years, and the space was properly laid out and built in accordance with the plans approved by PW and consistent with City Engineering Standards. Factually, my public records request revealed that the space actually complied with all of the laws and standards you cited to justify the initial creation of the work order. I am concerned about the evolution of the narrative around this, especially now that there are new "design constraints" to consider. I think that staff made a mistake by prematurely removing a space based on the position of Council Member Marx, when you should have taken accurate measurements and explained to her that it met standards, and that the community was purposefully designed with narrow roads. If people driving through there were concerned about hitting the car parked there, it was probably because they were driving too fast coming into the development. Now, cars have no reason to slow down as they drive by my house where I have a 10 year old and 14 year old coming and going on their bikes everyday. This is just not how our government should operate, nor the outcomes it should seek to achieve.

There are several design constraints that go into the decision to remove parking. If you are open to it, could I meet you on-site at the location? I can go over our determination and we can take a look to discuss options moving forward. Let me know if meeting is an option for you and what time might work.

I took the overall measurement from the fire hydrant to the joint in the curb where the apron of my driveway begins. There is now 34'-4" of red curb beyond the fire hydrant. I confirmed that the original red curb extended to exactly 15' beyond the fire hydrant, leaving a total of 19'-4" to the edge of my driveway apron. It appears to me that the City removed a parking spot that previously complied with the 2025 Engineering Standards and current traffic laws.

I understand the laws have changed since the development was finalized, but the plans should have the measurements on it, and I'm confident Trae would have checked it. Anyway we can check what it was supposed to be on the plans also? After reviewing the recently adopted street parking specifications in the 2025 Engineering Standards, Form 7410 - it appears that the space could be as short as 18 feet. I had been parking my truck there which is about 20 ft. long, and was not blocking my driveway. Based on the complaint, it seems like Council Member Marx's concern was more about how parking in this location was affecting the flow of traffic, which my understanding is precisely what the narrow streets are supposed to do. This is similar to the complaints the City has received about new bike lanes and traffic designs for Chorro and downtown; however, I am not aware of the City making any modifications to those areas based on these similar kinds of complaints. Additionally, I received a parking ticket for parking in front of my own driveway over the weekend. This activity is pretty regular and consistent throughout the medium density areas of the development, and very prevalent when Cal Poly students are in town. There was even a morning a couple of weeks ago where a neighbor of mine was ticketed for parking the wrong direction on the street, and I did not receive a citation for parking in front of my driveway at that time. If the City thinks that there is a problem with this, then I recommend an educational effort to notify residents that the City intends to begin enforcing that standard since many residents have been parking in front of their own driveway for several years now with no consequence.

Our team is not concerned with what type of vehicle is parked here or the duration/frequency of parking at this location per se. 5 The primary concern was that there was inuficient curb space between the fire hydrant and nearest driveway to fit both the 15' min stback from the hydrant per the Fire Code and a minimum length parking stall per City Engineering Standards. I can have Bryan from our team (cc'd) double check the measurement in the field to confirm.

I have been parking there for 3 years since we moved in. It's just that I started working from home so it was out there more during the day. I reviewed the complaints against the red curb and my truck, as well as the staff follow-up. It appears that Council Member Marx and Bryan Wheeler did not measure the red curb accurately. The red curb was painted exactly 15 feet from the fire hydrant and 20 feet from the crosswalk and you can still see where it was painted. Will you please put the parking space back? People are flying through the roundabout and are now coming through in front of my house really fast. I know it was inconvenient for people to have to slow down coming into the neighborhood, but that was supposed to be the point of narrow streets. Thanks, Mike Loew
