TRANSPORTATION ADVISORY BOARD AGENDA ITEM
ACTION REQUESTED:
title
Approve a recommendation to establish Overnight Parking Exemptions for the Townhouses at River Bend
body
DEPARTMENT: Transportation, Engineering and Development
SUBMITTED BY: Sydney Smith, Transportation Project Manager
BACKGROUND:
The City of Naperville Municipal Code Section 11-2A-8 prohibits on-street parking between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m.
In 2022 City Council approved the Overnight Parking Program to address concerns regarding compliance with this ordinance in multi-family developments that lack adequate off-street parking accommodation. Participating developments are issued passes (hangtags) that exempt residents from the All-Night Parking ordinance. This program required active participation by the Homeowner’s Association to administer the program and manage hangtag distribution. The details about the program can be found in attachment 1.
DISCUSSION:
The Townhomes at River Bend, which are located north of Aurora Ave and east of River Bend Rd, requested for townhome units located on Village Green Rd to be included in the Overnight Parking Program.
The Townhomes at River Bend are uniquely configured because the association is not self-contained and is integrated into a neighborhood with mixed multi-family and single-family units. The River Bend’s Association Board acknowledged their unique circumstance in their application and committed to restricting participation in the program to residents on Village Green Rd, who have the greatest need (attachment 2).
City staff (Fire, PF, Public Works, TED) evaluated the request and found that townhome units fronting River Front Cir and Landing Rd are in compliance with the current off-street parking requirements per the Municipal Code. The units on Village Green Rd have a different driveway configuration and are not in compliance with the current code. City staff concur with their need for overnight parking accommodations.
Staff recommends an overnight parking exemption on the south side of Village Green Rd between River Bend Rd and Landing. Staff recommend issuing 8 hangtags, which will be distributed by the River Bend Association Board. There are 44 townhome units in the River Bend Association and participation would be limited to the following 12 units:
466 Village Green
468 Village Green
470 Village Green
472 Village Green
474 Village Green
476 Village Green
480 Village Green
482 Village Green
484 Village Green
486 Village Green
488 Village Green
490 Village Green
See attachments 3 & 4.
Staff is asking TAB to approve a recommendation to establish Overnight Parking Exemptions for the Townhomes at River Bend.
