BACKGROUND INFORMATION: A new 12 -screen theater, located at the northeast corner of Church Street and Elm Street, will displace the existing 119 -parking -space lot. In addition to the theater, a 340+ -space parking structure will be constructed at the southeast corner of Sacramento Street and Elm Street. In order to provide additional parking while these two structures are under construction, staff recommends replacing the Church Street parallel parking with angle parking between Lodi Avenue and Locust Street. As shown in Exhibit A, these modifications will add approximately 54 spaces. Construction of the theater is anticipated to begin in late May. To accommodate the angle parking, it will be necessary to remove two of the four through travel lanes. Currently, Church Street carries approximately 6,500 vehicles per day with a 30 -mile -per -hour posted speed limit. Once the parking structure is completed, we feel the parallel parking should be reinstalled since the temporary angle parking will affect traffic flow, primarily turning movements. However, during the interim, we will monitor how the angle parking actually impacts traffic flow. The existing parking lot has a mixture of 4 -hour parking (36 spaces) and permit parking (83 spaces). Staff will be installing a combination of parking restrictions on Church Street to accommodate the variety of parking uses. The majority of the parking on Church Street will be 2 -hour or all day with a Zone B (downtown) permit. Since City Council has given the Public Works Director authority to approve downtown time restrictions, staff will be able to monitor the parking restrictions and modify as needed to accommodate the downtown businesses and customers. Parking Enforcement has indicated that they will be able to handle enforcement with current staff. FUNDING: Funding from the Street Maintenance Account for striping modifications on Church Street will cost approximately $7,300 ($4,500 to install the angle parking modifications and $2,800 to remove and reinstall the parallel spaces).
