The City Council of the City of Chula Vista does hereby resolve as
follows:
WHEREAS, there is a shopping center bounded by Center Street, Garrett
Avenue and F Street at the east end of which exists a loading dock, and
WHEREAS, the only means of access to the loading dock is from Garrett
Avenue, and
WHEREAS, Garrett Avenue is currently a two-way street, and
WHEREAS, there are potential safety problems associated with truck
backing maneuvers on Garrett Avenue coupled with interference this maneuver
causes to "F" Street traffic, and
WHEREAS, Center Street is currently a two-way street, and
WHEREAS, converting Center Street from a two-way street to a one-way
eastbound street beginning at a point east of the exit driveway of the
Parkwoods Condominiums to Garrett Avenue and the conversion of Garrett Avenue
from a two-way street to a one-way northbound street between Center Street and
"F" Street will provide better access for delivery vehicles to the loading
dock, and will improve traffic circulation on the streets surrounding the
shopping center, and
WHEREAS, the one-way system would also provide more room and visibility
for large vehicles while turning left from Center Street onto Garrett Avenue,
and
WHEREAS, the conversion of Center Street to one-way is further required
by the fact that an additional loading area is necessary at the back of the
shopping center and the conversion of Center Street into one-way will allow
the loading zone for the shopping center and will provide adequate and safe
circulation, and
WHEREAS, the Safety Commission voted 5-1 to recommend to the City Council
to convert Center Street, to a one-way eastbound street beginning at a point
east of the exit driveway of the Parkwoods Condominiums to Garrett Avenue and
