Recommended Action
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council discuss and provide direction regarding the expansion of public parking at Parking Structure Lot 4 located at the northeast corner of Rosecrans Avenue and Highland Avenue.Body
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
There are no fiscal implications from conducting this discussion. Should the City Council direct staff to solicit proposals from design consultants for the preparation of conceptual redevelopment plans for Lot 4, funds and staff time would be expended on that effort.
BACKGROUND:
Lot 4
Parking Structure Lot 4 is a two-story cast-in-place concrete structure at the northeast corner of Rosecrans Avenue and Highland Avenue. The structure was built in 1980 and currently contains 38 parking spaces on the lower level and 39 parking spaces on the upper level. Of the 77 total parking spaces, 63 are individually metered, two are Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessible, and 12 reserved for permit holders.
Due to the surrounding topography, the existing grade along the westerly side of the parking structure (along Highland Avenue) is approximately 12 feet lower than the adjacent grade at the easterly side of the structure. This grade differential allows for direct vehicular access to the lower level through a single entry-exit location off Highland Avenue, as well as direct vehicular access to the upper level from a single entry-exit location off 38th Street.
