A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
RANCHO PALOS VERDES ESTABLISHING PARKING
RESTRICTIONS ON THE CRENSHAW BLVD EXTENSION
FROM SEACREST DRIVE TO BURMA ROAD.
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 a portion of Crenshaw Boulevard in accordance with the Rancho Palos
Verdes Traffic Code.
WHEREAS, Crenshaw Boulevard, a public roadway extending from Seacrest Drive to
Burma Road has experienced parking-related impacts due to an increase in recreational and
pedestrian activity pertaining to use of the City's Park and Nature Preserve; and
WHEREAS, the residents from the Palos Verdes Park Place HOA have requested the
City to prohibit parking on the northeast side of Crenshaw Boulevard from Seacrest Drive to
Burma Road (Nature Preserve entrance) to address the public safety issues that are associated
with parking on both sides of Crenshaw Boulevard in order for the public to take access to Del
Cerro Park and the Palos Verdes Nature Preserve, because the current unrestricted public
parking on both sides of Crenshaw Boulevard is impeding access to residential properties and
the Nature Preserve by emergency vehicles and other vehicles; and
WHEREAS, the establishment of a "No Parking at Anytime" restriction by erecting signs
on the northeast side of Crenshaw Boulevard from Seacrest Drive to Burma Road, will reduce
traffic hazards created by nonresident vehicular parking on both sides of Crenshaw Boulevard,
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 FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Required Findings. The City Council finds that the establishment of a "No
Parking At Anytime" restriction by erecting signs on the northeast side of Crenshaw Boulevard
from Seacrest Drive to Burma Road (Nature Preserve entrance), is necessary to reduce traffic
hazards created by nonresident vehicular parking on both sides of Crenshaw Boulevard for
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 residential area, the Park and the Nature Preserve. For these
reasons, the City Council finds that the establishment of parking restrictions for the portion of
the street listed in Section 2 of this Resolution, is necessary to avoid the adverse impacts upon
public safety cause by cars being parked on both sides of the Crenshaw Boulevard extension.
Section 2. Designation of Restricted Parking Area. Based upon the findings in
Section 1, the following area is hereby designated with the following parking restriction: "No
Parking at Anytime":
