Hayward I think it's done that. I just don't know it's done that there or not—I'll just leave it as that. Commissioner Brown: One other thing just to mention to staff and I'm not proposing that you implement it, but I took a photo of one thing in Palo Alto which I think is interesting. There was a sign that said corral zone—"No re-parking in corral zone after two-hour limit has expired; two-hour begins at initial parking time." So what they've actually implemented is that.... I think it is to stop people that work in the downtown from setting their time on their phone and every two hours moving their car and occupying parking or potential customers, but I just thought it was an interesting sign. No action, but just be aware. And just to follow up on the one-way, I mean, the one-way can do two things. One, it can increase speed, yes, but you can adjust that with stop signs. The other thing that it does though is that it would also offer more through-put around and into the Downtown potentially. That's why I say, I don't know if it's a good idea or not. I just think it deserves a bit more study, and I don't want to make that determination. I'd rather the professionals and staff to make that determination. Commissioner O'Connor: Definitely it could be looked at. One of the other side effects or bonuses of a one-way is when you have a loop you're going to have a second street that becomes a main street. You're going to have development opportunities on that second part of the loop, so everybody's not just one-way to see the downtown. Commissioner Brown: It's same as a bisecting street. You couldn't also make a one- way and cut the loop. Chair Balch: I was going to say, staff's pretty upset with us for going on with this one- way, but I think the comment is that.... Commissioner Brown: Well, just to respond to the public.... Commissioner O'Connor: I'm not sure if it would work for our town, but those are some of the pluses and minuses. Commissioner Ritter: And as we do the DSP, there's even that option of making Peter's be a cut-through all the way to Bernal if they rezone that whole area. That would open up another option that maybe it would be the one-way and it would just have the two- ways. Chair Balch: So I think as we probably remember, the matter before us is whether we are going to support this to go to Council or are we going to not. Commissioner O'Connor: I'm happy to see that we brought the idea up of paved parking lots. Commissioner Ritter moved to recommend approval to City Council of P17-0055, Downtown Parking Strategy per staff's recommendation. EXCPERT: PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, March 8, 2017 Page 9 of 10
