Agenda Item No.: 10.A
Mtg. Date: 03/28/2024
TO:HONORABLE CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE TRAFFIC COMMISSION
FROM:JOHN SIGNO, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING & COMMUNITY SERVICES
THRU:KARINA BAÑALES, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT:STREET PARKING AND OVERNIGHT PARKING ON PORTUGUESE
BEND ROAD AND OTHER AREAS OF THE CITY
DATE:March 28, 2024
BACKGROUND:
This item was brought to the attention of the Traffic Commission at its December 11, 2023
meeting. The Traffic Commission directed staff to research the issue and prepare it for
discussion at the next meeting.
DISCUSSION:
Per the Rolling Hills Municipal Code (RHMC):
10.52.210 - All-night parking prohibited.
No person shall stop, stand or park a vehicle on any road for a period of time
longer than one hour between the hours of two a.m. and four a.m. of any day ,
except authorized emergency vehicles and the vehicle of any regularly licensed
physician when engaged in making professional calls.
10.52.250 - Parking over seventy-two hours prohibited.
No person who owns or has possession, custody or control of any vehicle shall
park such vehicle upon any road for more than a consecutive period of
seventy-two hours.
Enforcement during the holiday season was difficult because of holiday festivities and
overnight guests. Rather than enforcing the parking prohibitions immediately during the
holiday season, reminders were sent to residents via the City's newsletter. The Sheriff's
Department has no reports on overnight parking, but can patrol the City to monitor prolonged
and overnight parking, including the hours of two a.m. and four p.m.
Regarding parking of a horse trailer in front of 20 Portuguese Bend Road, staff did observe the
horse trailer on several occasions, but it did not violate the regulations above. Staff does not
have the ability to observe street parking after hours, including nights and weekends, but
noticed the horse trailer would be parked for a couple hours and moved the same day. More
recently, staff has not observed the horse trailer parked at that location.

FISCAL IMPACT:
Public safety and traffic safety are paid under the contract with the LA County Sheriff's
Department.

THRU:KARINA BAÑALES, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT:TRAFFIC CONCERNS AT EASTFIELD GATE ENTERING FROM PALOS
VERDES DRIVE EAST
DATE:March 28, 2024
BACKGROUND:
On February 23, 2024, City staff received an email from Laurie Brodie regarding safety
concerns at the Eastfield Gate when entering from Palos Verdes Drive East. Ms. Brodie is
requesting a "pull forward" sign on Palos Verdes Drive East at the entrance to Eastfield Drive
due to prolonged queuing at the gate. The email was forwarded to City Council at their March
11, 2024 meeting under public comment in which Mayor Mirsch directed staff to place an item
on an agenda. Since this is a traffic-related issue, it is being referred to the Traffic
Commission for consideration.
DISCUSSION:
The issues were forwarded to the Traffic Engineer for consideration. The Traffic Engineer
spoke to Ms. Brodie and offered to meet her at the location for further discussion. The Traffic
Engineer also spoke to the gate attendant at the Eastfield Gate. According to the attendant,
the queuing backup is temporary occurring just before 7 a.m. and lasts approximately 5
minutes. Staff can provide a verbal report to the Traffic Commission at the meeting.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
RECOMMENDATION:
Discuss and provide direction.

Mtg. Date: 03/28/2024
TO:HONORABLE CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE TRAFFIC COMMISSION
FROM:JOHN SIGNO, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING & COMMUNITY SERVICES
THRU:KARINA BAÑALES, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT:SPEEDING AND TRAFFIC SIGNS
DATE:March 28, 2024
BACKGROUND:
Commissioner Bobit raised the following two issues:
1) Complaints about drivers speeding through the stop sign at Open Brand Road and Eastfield
Drive. Commissioner Bobit requests the Sheriff to post someone there from time-to-time.
2) At a recent RHCA Board Meeting a resident, who walks a lot on Crest Road, suggested
placing a sign with the word "Absolute" under the 30 mph speed limits signs on Crest. This
long-time resident claims that years ago a horizontal sign with the word "Absolute" was
incorporated onto the sign posts and helped slow down traffic.
Staff has also been contacted about speeding concerns on Crest Road, which may be the
same speaker that attended the RHCA Board Meeting. Staff informed the resident the City is
contracted with LA County Sheriffs and a presentation from the Sheriffs is given to the Traffic
Commission. The resident was invited to attend.
DISCUSSION:
The issues were forwarded to the Traffic Engineer and Sheriff's Department for consideration.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
RECOMMENDATION:
Discuss and provide direction.

BACKGROUND:

DISCUSSION:
For alternate dates, the following are recommended:

If those dates do not work, the Traffic Commission can discuss other dates and times in which
