Council expands Industrial Avenue no-parking zone, orders curb painting and renewed enforcement
Summary
After staff presentation and public comments, the council amended and unanimously adopted Resolution 2026-02 to extend no-parking restrictions on Industrial Avenue (starting at the left turn), direct curb painting (red), renew signage, and increase enforcement to address truck turning and safety concerns.
The Norco City Council voted unanimously to amend and adopt Resolution 2026-02 to add no-parking designations and curb painting on Industrial Avenue after hearing staff presentations and public comment about trucks getting stuck in the cul-de-sac.
"So this is what we're asking for you to do today is to adopt a resolution to add no parking signage and potentially red striping to double the effect in the bulb area," the staff presenter said, showing a photo of a FedEx truck stuck in the cul-de-sac. Councilmembers raised concerns about stolen or removed signs and discussed painting curbs red and renewing signage to improve compliance.
Councilmembers also clarified enforcement authority: code enforcement officers can issue administrative citations and the sheriff's department can assist; if the area is designated a fire lane, towing is possible. The fire/public-safety representative said staff must consult the fire marshal to confirm whether a fire-lane designation and associated stenciling are appropriate without impeding emergency access.
Councilmember Newton moved to amend the proposed language (which initially referenced the southerly 150 feet) to apply to the length of Industrial Avenue beginning at the left turn; the council approved that amended language and the resolution passed unanimously. The motion included painting curbs red, adding "No Parking" stenciling, renewing signage, and stepped-up enforcement for roughly a six-month emphasis period as discussed by council.
The council directed staff to coordinate with the Streets & Trails commission, code enforcement, fire marshal and sheriff's department to implement the changes and monitor compliance.
