Valley Boulevard. Staff spoke with the property owner, Jimmy Duong regarding parking at
this location. Mr. Duong indicates that parking in front of his property is occupied with
vehicles parking for one hour or more. He is requesting the installation of green curb in
front of his store for short term (20 minute) parking.
Staff Recommendation
It is staffs recommendation that the Traffic Commission recommends the City Council
approve the installation of 30 feet of "20 minute" green curb at 8728 East Valley Boulevard.
ANALYSIS
Valley Boulevard is approximately 76 feet wide with two lanes of traffic in each direction.
Opposing lanes of traffic are separated by a two-way left turn lane. The posted speed limit
on Valley Boulevard is 35 mph.
Field observations were made at the vicinity of 8728 E. Valley Boulevard in the early
afternoon hours of a regular weekday. These observations identified that the vehicles
parking in front of this location park for a relatively short period of time (approximately 15-
20 minutes per vehicle). Staff spoke with Mr. Duong regarding his request. Mr. Duong
indicated that the parking lot behind the building is used by other tenants. With the addition
of a restaurant use at this location, Mr. Duong is requesting short-term parking for customer
pick-up orders.
Photographs of the existing parking conditions will be available at the Traffic Commission
meeting.
