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;
CRENSHAW BLVD FROM SEACREST DRIVE TO
VALLEY VIEW ROAD AND ON PARK PLACE FROM
CRENSHAW BLVD TO APPROXIMATELY 200'
SOUTH/WEST TO THE FIRST PARKING STALL AT DEL
CERRO PARK.
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 Crenshaw Boulevard and Park Place 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, Crenshaw Boulevard, a public roadway extending from Seacrest
Drive to Valley View 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, 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 pertaining to use of the City's Park and Nature Preserve; and
WHEREAS, the residents from surrounding neighborhoods (Del Cerro HOA and
the Park Place HOA) have requested the City to regulate the parking on the south side
of Crenshaw Boulevard from Seacrest Drive to Burma Road (Nature Preserve
entrance), north side of Crenshaw Blvd from Seacrest Drive to Valley View Road and on
the south side of Park Place from Crenshaw Blvd to 200' west to the first parking stall to
address the public safety issues that are associated with parking on Crenshaw
Boulevard and Park Place 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
Crenshaw Boulevard and Park Place 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 and red curbing on the south west side of Crenshaw Boulevard from
Seacrest Drive to Burma Road, north east side of Crenshaw Blvd from Seacrest Drive
to Valley View Road and on the south side of Park Place from Crenshaw Blvd to
approximately 200' south will 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;
WHEREAS, the City Council determines that establishing permit parking
would not result in significant environmental effects because the result of the program
will not significantly alter existing conditions. Therefore, in accordance to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the City Council finds that establishment of the
permit parking program is considered a Categorical Exemption from CEQA based on
Section 15301(c) of Article 19, which states that operation, repair, maintenance,
permitting, leasing, licensing or minor alteration of existing public or private structures,
facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographic features involving negligible or no
expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the lead agency's determination.
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 and painting red curb on the
south west side of Crenshaw Boulevard from Seacrest Drive to Burma Road (Nature
Preserve entrance), on the north east side of Crenshaw Blvd from Seacrest Drive to
Valley View Road and on the south side of Park Place from Crenshaw Blvd to
approximately 200'west is necessary to reduce traffic hazards created by nonresident
vehicular parking for access to 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 streets 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 roadways.
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":
Crenshaw Boulevard (south west side from Seacrest Drive to Burma Road)
