Currently, the amount of available parking stalls, equipment, and day-to-day operations on -site for these businesses is not adequate to accommodate their employee parking needs, so they rely on available public parking on Haffley Avenue to meet their demand. Most of these businesses start work between 5:00am and 6:00am in the morning. When their employees arrive for work much of the street parking is occupied by large trucks and detached trailers. National City's Parking Regulation Officers have done their best to enforce the 72-hour vehicle storage ordinance, however business owners are seeking a more permanent, Tong -term solution. Staff performed a site evaluation. The roadway width is 48 feet with unrestricted parallel parking on both sides. Based on the roadway width, angle parking can be accommodated on one side of the street. This would restrict large trucks and trailers from legally parking on the street since they cannot fit within angle parking stalls. To maximize parking, staff recommends installing angle parking on the east side of Haffley Avenue since there are Tess driveways and curb cuts. This would result in a net gain of approximately 22 parking spaces. Staff also recommends striping 20-foot long parking stalls on the west side of the street, again to restrict large trucks and trailers from legally parking on the street. These types of vehicles have an opportunity to park on Tidelands Avenue, a few blocks to the west. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To address vehicle storage issues regarding large trucks and detached trailers on Haffley Avenue between W. 19th Street and Bay Marina Drive staff recommends striping angle parking on the east side of the street and 20-foot long parallel parking stalls on the west side of the street.
