INFORMATION: Staff has been working to ensure that a secondary emergency entrance at the Cedar Rock Apartments at North Greensboro Street is clear and usable. During this process, vehicular parking on Lindsay Street adjacent to the emergency entrance was observed. Cedar Rock residents have expressed an interest in making the Lindsay Street entrance a full access point for ingress/egress, which would require a modification to the permit. Parking restrictions near the north end of Lindsay Street, particularly north of Merritt Street are needed to ensure that the rear access point can be used for emergency access as intended.
FISCAL & STAFF IMPACT: There will be minor impacts for staff time associated with creating & installing No Parking signs, and enforcement of the new parking restrictions.
RECOMMENDATION:r Staff recommends the Board receive the update, and expects to present the amendments for adoption after staff holds neighborhood information meetings.
