FROM: BILL R. MANIS, CITY MANAGER
DATE: JUNE 27, 2017
SUBJECT: INSTALLATION OF RED CURB — EAST SIDE OF THE DRIVEWAY
APRON AT 8849 MISSION DRIVE
SUMMARY
At the February 2, 2017, Traffic Commission meeting, the Commission reviewed conditions for
the residence at 8849 Mission Drive and recommended the installation of red curbing,
approximately 2-feet, on the east side of the driveway apron. The Traffic Commission received a
request from the resident at 8849 Mission Drive to review conditions in this area since vehicles
parking along the curb tend to encroach into his driveway,making it difficult for him to turn right
into his driveway, when coming westbound on Mission Drive. Staff reviewed the request with a
traffic engineering consultant and recommended that 2-feet of red curbing be added on the east
side of the driveway apron at 8849 Mission Drive to prevent vehicles from encroaching into the
resident's driveway without affecting the number of parking spaces.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve the Traffic Commission's recommendation to
paint 2-feet of red curb on the east side of the driveway apron at 8849 Mission Drive.
DISCUSSION
Mission Drive is classified as a minor arterial roadway and is approximately 63-feet wide with a
posted speed limit of 35 miles per hour(MPH). There are two travel lanes in each direction and a
yellow center line. In this area, parking is permitted on both sides of Mission Drive, with the
exception of street sweeping restrictions. Land use along this area of Mission Drive is defined as
commercial, medium density residential, and high density residential.
The resident at 8849 Mission Drive has expressed concerns that vehicles are parking too close to
his driveway apron making it difficult for him to turn right into his residence. Staff conducted a
site visit and determined that the length of this section of curb in front of his residence is
approximately 50 feet in length. By installing approximately 2 feet of red curbing to the east of the
driveway apron,accessibility issues will be mitigated without any significant parking implications.

TO: TRAFFIC COMMISSION
FROM: KAREN VIGIL, TRAFFIC CONSULTANT
DATE: FEBRUARY 02, 2017
SUBJECT: REVIEW OF RED CURB REQUEST ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE
DRIVEWAY APRON AT 8849 MISSION DRIVE
BACKGROUND
The Traffic Commission has received a request from a resident who lives at 8849 Mission Drive
to paint the curb on the east side of his driveway with red. The resident states that vehicles
parking along the curb in front of his residence are encroaching into his driveway making it
difficult for him to turn right into his driveway when coming westbound on Mission Drive. The
curb in front of the resident's property east of his driveway is approximately 50 feet in length, this
would accommodate a minimum of two parking spaces of 18 feet in length each of which is the
minimum length for a parking space established in Standard Plans issued by the California
Department of Transportation (Caltrans).
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Traffic Commission proposes to City Council that due to vehicles
blocking and or encroaching into the resident's driveway, 2 feet of red curb be painted on the
east side of the driveway apron. Painting 2 feet of red curb will not affect the number of parking
spaces still allowing for two 18-foot parking spaces along the 50 feet of available curb.
ANALYSIS
Mission Drive: Mission Drive is classified as a minor arterial roadway and is approximately 63-
feet wide with a posted speed limit of 35 MPH. There are two travel lanes in each direction and
a yellow center line. In this area parking is permitted on both sides of Mission Drive, with the
exception of street sweeping restrictions. Land use along this area of Mission Drive is defined
as commercial, medium density residential and high density residential.
The resident at 8849 Mission Drive has expressed concerns that vehicles are parking too close
to his driveway apron making it difficult for him to turn right into his residence. Staff conducted a
site visit and determined that the length of this section of curb in front of his residence is
approximately 50 feet in length. By installing approximately 2 feet of red curbing to the east of
