Petition from the merchants on Chorro Street between Monterey and Higuera requesting place-
ment of twelve minute meters on the west side of Chorro between Higuera and the Pacific
Gas and Electric street light in front of Frank's Liquor Store was referred to the Traffic
Committee and the Council committee on parking and traffic.

Comm. from R. J. Bettencourt requesting lease of City owned property in Lopez canyon was
referred to the City Attorney for study and to review on deed for this property.
Report of the Traffic Committee:
57- 12 -1C: On the matter of a loading zone on Monterey Street sugg '-sted by the Montgomery
Ward Company manager, the Traffic Committee feels that we should proceed very slowly on
the installation of additional loading zones, expecially since the zone on Chorro Street
is currently on a six month trial basis, the community is considering an additional off -.
street parking program and the Council has indicated that the zone on Chorro Street did
not necessarily mean the beginning of a city -wide system of loading zones in every block.
The problem is complicated by the fact that usually more than one car space is needed to
provide an adequate loading zone, and it is also true that most streets are wider than
Chorro and therefore trucks which are double parked do not create the same problem on these
streets that they would on Chorro..
57- 12 -2C: At the request of the Council and Mr. Holmes the Traffic Committee has re-
studied the recently - installed red zone on the west side of Santa Barbara near the old
city corporation yard which zone was installed for the purpose of providing storage space
for trucks waiting to enter the S. P. IyIilling plant. After further study, the Traffic
Committee feels that a yellow loading zone effective 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p;m., Sundays and
Holidays excepted, would be more appropriate and suggests that the red zone be replaced
by.this type of marking. The following Resolution No. 319 (1957 Series) A Resolution
Establishing'a Yellow Loading Zone on Santa Barbara Street Between High and Upham Streets
was passed and adopted on motion of Richard G. Sleight, seconded by Kenneth W. Jones, by
the following roll call vote:
AYES:- Nels Beck, Kenneth W. Jones, Richard G. Sleight, J. Barry Smith, Fred H. Lucksinger
NOES: None
ABSENT: None

At this time Mr. E. E. Graves appeared before the Council stating that he did not object

study.
