BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The attached ordinance, which would regulate the parking of certain designated commercial vehicles on private property in residential zones has previously been considered in a similar form by the Council. fit Council direction, the topic was referred to the Planning Commission for consideration and recommendation. At its meeting of My 22, 1989, the-lanning Commission considered the proposed ordinance. I t was recommended a t t h a t time t h a t the weights specified in the ordinance be converted from tons to pounds, clarifying and simplifying a determination of whether or not a specific vehicle might be in violation of the ordinance. As the Council will recall, this ordinance has been on the drawing board for some time. It was first considered in respcnse to complaints received by City staff of heavy commercial vehicles parked in residential neighborhoods, with the engines left running at unusual hours of the day. The purpose of the ordinance is also to reduce wear and tear on roadways designed primarily to handle passenger vehicles. Municipal Code §10.52.050A, restricting the parking of certain commercial vehicles exceeding 5 tons on public streets is already on the books. The proposed ordinance would extend that regulation to private property as well. The attached n= from Assistant City Engineer Richard Prima contains examples of various types of commercial vehicles with their corresponding avera. weights. For example, a one -ton truck would probably weigh very near the limit imposed by the ordinance, while dump trucks, backhoes on trailers, and similar pieces of equipment would clearly fall within the statute. Exceptions are contained in the ordinance for the loading or unloading of such vehicles.

Incidentally, I assume the ordinance will specify "maximurri gross weight" which would be on the vehicle name plate in rr,st case;. The weight should be specified in pounds, not tons to avoid any confusion over the definition of a "ton". Residential Street Design Street pavement structural design is based on the strength of the materials involved and the amount of traffic over the design period. This discussion only covers the traffic portion of the design. The empirical technique commonly used in California, including Lodi, uses a number called the Traffic Index (TI) to account far traffic. The TI for a residential street ranges from 4.0 for a cul-de-sac to 5.0 or more for a -ollector street. The Index is based on the number of 16,000 lb. Lq0 valent Axle Loads (EAL). A formula is used to convert actual axle loads to EALs. This formula is not linear; typical values are: Axle load (lbs) EAL 5.000 0.005 6,000 0.01 10,000 0.085 15,000 0.465 18,000 I.0 Using a 20 year design period, the total nurnber ot EALs for various Tis are: TI Total EhLs 4.0 n S 5.0 ]e{ _ MCA8902/TXTh.01J -•.. .. :._. .d.2?°�!'�.a` .. r.... _.. ...._.. ::_'3�?s"'.',C?aa,,avp°�:�'m�xag,�rvn�.�-.^; ,...:- 7�'�c;+w'�.�`F .�. f�t::Yf.�p� Nr: ^"e�^r^- .

For purposes of this discussion, it could be assured that for two axle trucks, the rraxiriun gross weight is double the single axle load. Obviously, a heavy truck operating out of a residential area car! have a major impact. on the life of the pavement.
