Report
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors conduct a public hearing to consider the adoption of an ordinance adding Article VII to section 12.44 of the Monterey County Code to make the California Vehicle Code, applicable to private roads in the East Garrison Phase One Subdivision, in the East Garrison area of the unincorporated area of the County of Monterey.
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
On June 3, 2014, the Board introduced, waived reading, and set today's date and time to consider adoption of the ordinance adding Article VII to Section 12.44 of the Monterey County Code to make the California Vehicle Code applicable to private roads in the East Garrison Phase One subdivision, created by the East Garrison Phase One Final Map (recorded on June 28, 2007 in the Office of the Recorder of the County of Monterey at Volume 24, Cities and Towns, at page 7).
The Director of Public Works of the County of Monterey Resource Management Agency received a petition (attached) from UCP East Garrison LLC to make roads in the East Garrison Phase One development subject to the California Vehicle Code and enforceable by the CHP. The request is to consider all of the non-county maintained roads created by the East Garrison Phase One Final Map, recorded on June 28, 2007, in the Office of the Recorder of the County of Monterey at Volume 24, Cities and Towns, at page 7. The roads are owned and maintained by UCP East Garrison LLC.
The Resource Management Agency - Public Works (RMA-PW) Staff reviewed the request and determined the public would benefit from this action by allowing UCP East Garrison LLC the option of enforcement to address issues that arise along these roadways. RMA-PW Staff is recommending the adoption of the attached ordinance. The Director of Public Works has sent a Notice of Public Hearing to the affected landowners as directed by the Board on June 3, 2014. The Clerk of the Board has published the Notice of Public Hearing in the Monterey County Weekly.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
The Office of the County Counsel has approved the ordinance as to form. The California Highway Patrol concurs with this recommendation.
FINANCING:
There is no financial impact to the General Fund.
