Executive Summary:
The Department of Sonoma County Public Infrastructure (SPI) recommends that the Board adopt an Ordinance to establish two-hour parking zone restrictions on Dry Creek Road in the vicinity of the Dry Creek General Store. The proposed ordinance was a condition of approval for a use permit approval recommendation by the Board of Zoning Adjustments in 2018 and will facilitate the safe, orderly and expeditious movement of traffic.
Discussion:
In 2018, the Board of Zoning Adjustments approval recommendation of the use permit (PLP17-0029) for the Dry Creek General Store. The project consisted of a request for a use permit for a small alcoholic beverage retail establishment for the historic Dry Creek General Store, a legal non-conforming general store and bar, and design review approval for a site plan for site improvements to circulation, parking, and a new trash enclosure.
SPI received the project referral for the Dry Creek General Store in 2017 and requested Condition of Approval #25a, which states, “Within 30 days of approval, the Applicant shall submit a request to the Department of Transportation and Public Works (DTPW) for 2-hour time limited parking for the street parking at the store frontage and along the frontage of the parcel across Dry Creek Road. The Applicant shall pay the fees to process the request to the Board of Supervisors. If the Board approves the request, the Applicant shall pay for County installation of all signs that are required resulting from the request following adoption of the ordinance authorizing the limited parking. The applicant shall submit this request to DTPW within 30 days of use permit approval, and shall pay the installation fees within 14 days of request by SPI.”
The request for a parking ordinance, dated August 16, 2018, was received by SPI (formerly DTPW). Construction associated with the Use Permit at this location is nearly complete, prompting this request. If approved, the Dry Creek General Store will pay for installation of appropriate signage, markings and other requirements described in the conditions of approval. Once installed, the County will assume ownership and provide ongoing maintenance at its own expense. The current annual cost of maintenance is estimated at $2,500.
