NATIONAL CITY TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMITTEE
AGENDA REPORT FOR JUNE 8, 2011
ITEM TITLE:
ITEM NO. 2011-15
REQUEST FOR INSTALLATION OF TIME RESTRICTED
PARKING ADJACENT TO 560 HIGHLAND AVE (BY R.
PLASCENCIA)
PREPARED BY: Stephen Manganiello, Engineering Division
DISCUSSION:
Mr. Roberto Plascencia, owner of the new jewelry business at 560 Highland Ave, has
requested time restricted parking in order to create higher parking turnover for his
customers. Mr. Plascencia's business is located on the southwest corner of Highland
Avenue and E. 6th Street.
Staff visited the site and observed that the parking on Highland Avenue adjacent to Mr.
Plascencia's business is signed as 2-hour parking, while the parking on E. 6th Street is
unrestricted. Installation of time restricted parking is appropriate for local businesses to
encourage higher parking turnover and more efficient enforcement.
Since Highland Avenue is a commercial corridor conversion to 30-minute parking is
appropriate. For E. 6`h Street, however, staff recommends 1-hour parking adjacent to
Mr. Plascencia's business since the properties on E. 6`h Street become predominantly
residential to the west of his business.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
In order to increase parking turnover and allow for more efficient enforcement, staff
recommends the following parking improvements adjacent to 560 Highland Avenue:
1) Conversion of two, 2-hour parking spaces to 30-minute parking on Highland
Avenue;
2) Conversion of three "unrestricted" parking spaces to 1-hour parking on E. 6th
Street.

Dear Stephen Manganiello,
My family and I have recently completed the construction of the one of the finest
buildings in the surroundings of Highland Avenue, 560 Highland Avenue specifically. Is
my intention to move my Jewelry business into this fine location as soon as possible.
The intention of this letter is with the purpose of requesting a parking time limit
set of One -hour, on adjacent areas to 560 Highland Avenue and 6th street, North-West
corner. With this changes on the adjacent street parking would bring great attraction to
future customers starting with reliable accessibility. It would insure clients in the area of
a business type zone and stimulate other business alike. Prevent anyone parking for long
periods inflicting discomfort to our prospect clients and even becoming a possible
deterrent from bringing their business to us.
My intention for this corner in particular is that becomes productive and
prosperous for all, including surrounding residents by preventing any sedentary parking
on the area for unlimited time. By bringing these changes to this small section of
Highland Avenue, We believe we are contributing for a better National City Business
sector and residents in general.
Thank you in advance for your time considering my petition to your department
committee, expecting to hear from you soon.
ely yours
Roberto Plascencia
