Resolution of the Council of the City of Palo Alto Amending
the Restricted Parking Zones Established by Resolution 7659
to Include the Downtown Library Parking Lot and Adjacent
Streets in the Coral Zone
WHEREAS, consistent with Palo Alto Municipal Code Section 10.44.010, the
Council may establish parking restrictions; and
WHEREAS, on April 7, 1997, following a two-year trial period for downtown
parking restrictions, the City Council passed resolution 7659, adopting four parking zones in the
Downtown area and establishing reparking restrictions within each zone,. prohibiting reparking in
the same zone within the same business day; and
WHEREAS, one of the parking zones established by Resolution 7659 was the Coral
Zone, which includes "all parking spaces on city streets and city-owned or leased parking lots or
structures within that area bounded by Lytton Avenue (north and south sides), Forest Avenue
(north side only), Bryant Street (east and west sides), and Emerson Street (both sides of which
are included in th¥. Purple Zone rather than the Coral Zone)." Parking in the Coral Zone is
restricted such that re-parking in the same zone during the same business day is prohibited; and
WHEREAS, the Downtown Palo Alto Library is located directly adjacent to the
Coral Zone. Library staff have observed that the availability of short term parking in and around
the Downtown Library parking lot is very limited, and recommended including the Library's
parking lot in the Coral Zone to restrict reparking and provide better availability of short term
visitor parking at the Library.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Council of the City of Palo Alto does RESOLVE as
follows:
SECTION 1. Section 2(2) (Coral Zone) of Resolution No. 7659 is hereby amended
as follows to add the Downtown Palo Alto Library parking lot in the Coral Zone:
"The Coral Zone is established as including all parking spaces on city streets and
city-owned or leased parking lots or structures within that area bounded by Lytton
Avenue (north and south sides); Forest Avenue (north side); Bryant Street (east
and west sides) and Emerson Street (both sides of which are included in the
Purple Zone rather than the Coral Zone"); plus the south side of Forest Avenue
between Bryant Street and Ramona Street, the west side of Bryant Street and east
side of Ramona Street 155 feet south of Forest Avenue, and the Downtown
Library Parking Lot."
A map ofthe City's restricted parking zones is attached as Exhibit "A."
