CC RES 2012-007 RESOLUTION NO. 2012-07
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES ESTABLISHING PARKING
RESTRICTIONS ON PARK PLACE.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES DOES
HEREBY FIND, ORDER AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
WHEREAS, Chapter 10.04 of the Rancho Palos Verdes Municipal Code
authorizes the City Council to establish restricted parking in designated areas in the City
by resolution pursuant to the authority provided by California Vehicle Code Section
22507; and
WHEREAS, an engineering and traffic survey has determined that parking
restrictions are warranted on portions of Park Place in accordance with the Rancho
Palos Verdes Traffic Code.
WHEREAS, Park Place, a public roadway located adjacent to Del Cerro Park has
experienced parking-related impacts due to an increase in recreational and pedestrian
activity; and
WHEREAS, the residents along Park Place have requested the City to regulate
the parking on the north side of the street from Crenshaw Boulevard to the cul-de-sac
and on the south side of the street 50 feet from the intersection with Crenshaw
Boulevard to address the public safety issues that are associated with parking on both
sides of Park Place in order for the public to take access to Del Cerro Park and the
Palos Verdes Nature Preserve (Portuguese Bend Nature Preserve) because the current
unrestricted public parking on both sides of Park Place is impeding access to residential
properties by emergency vehicles; and
WHEREAS, the establishment of No Parking at Anytime by erecting signs on the
north side of Park Place from Crenshaw Boulevard to the cul-de-sac and the painting of
red curb on the south side of Park Place from the intersection with Crenshaw Boulevard
50 feet to the south west, is intended to reduce traffic hazards created by nonresident
vehicular parking, and is necessary to provide safe and efficient ingress and egress for
the benefit of residents and their guests, as well as emergency vehicles serving the
area.
NOW, THEREFORE THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS
VERDES DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Required Findings. The City Council finds that the establishment of
a No Parking At Anytime zone by erecting signs on the north side of Park Place from
Crenshaw Boulevard to the cul-de-sac and installation of red curb on the south side of
Park Place from Crenshaw Boulevard to 50 feet south west, is necessary to reduce
traffic hazards created by nonresident vehicular parking to access Del Cerro Park and
the Palos Verdes Nature Preserve, and is necessary to provide safe and efficient
ingress and egress for the benefit of residents and their guests, as well as emergency
vehicles serving the area. For these reasons, the City Council finds that the
establishment of parking restrictions for the street listed in Section 2 of this Resolution,
is necessary to avoid the adverse impacts upon public safety cause by too many cars
being parked on Park Place.

Section 1, the following area is designated for restricted parking:
Park Place (north side from Crenshaw Boulevard to the cul-de-sac)

resolution. The Director of Public Works is hereby authorized to erect such signs.
