Pursuant to the provlslons of Section 10.12.030 of the Chula Vista Municipal
Code, adopted by Ordinance No. 1625 on May 27, 1975, the City Engineer on

The parking prohibition of vehicles which are six feet or more in height
(including any load thereon) on the west side of East Flower Street between
the first and second northerly driveways to the Eucalyptus Grove apartment
complex as per the Cal ifornia Vehicle Codes Section No. 22507 (see attached

months, at which time either a resolution affirming the trial traffic
regulation must be adopted or the trial traffic regulation ceases to be

Mr. Pieknik is the owner of a property at 616 3rd Avenue, which is a Preschool/Day Care
Center. Mr. Pieknik informed the Commission that he did not receive any notice of the
intention of the Safety Commission or of this meeting. Mr. Pieknik stated that if the city
went ahead with plans to prohibit on street parking in the 600 block of Third Avenue, then
the patrons to his business would not have any place to park and walk their children into the
center. The location is equipped only with a small one-car driveway. He wanted to know
how the parents would drop off their children with no parking.
Staff informed the Commission that all businesses on Third A venue received notification of
these proceedings. The letters were addressed to "Occupant/Resident/Tenant." Mr. Pieknik
indicated that he was the owner of the property and rented to another party. The
Commission informed Mr. Pieknik that the matter has already been acted upon and it would
be up to him to go the City Council before any official action was taken.
