Commission forwards proposal to extend on‑street parking from 2 to 4 hours on San Fernando Road
Summary
The commission voted to forward a staff recommendation to the City Council to change an existing two‑hour parking limit to four hours on a block of San Fernando Road; staff said changing the city ordinance will be required and the ordinance would take effect about 31 days after council approval.
Staff presented a business-driven request to change existing parking limits on a segment of San Fernando Road (between Wolfskill and Kittredge) from two hours to four hours, saying nearby businesses asked for more customer time for vehicle repairs and purchases. The city engineer told commissioners the change requires amending an older city ordinance that lists streets with two‑hour limits and recommended the commission forward the proposal to City Council.
A commissioner raised concerns the change might make short-term parking harder for some customers. Staff said the measure would first go to City Council, then return for a second hearing; the ordinance would become effective about 31 days after council approval — a process the city estimated would take roughly two to three months. The commission voted to forward the ordinance change to City Council for consideration.
The commission asked staff to include related mapping and outreach so neighbors and businesses understand the timeline and impact. If Council approves the ordinance after the hearings, the effective date will be set according to the council resolution and municipal code.
