<br />8. Abuse by applicants of any parking-related permits; <br />9. The impact on nearby commercial uses; <br />10. The ease of enforcing the provisions of this chapter; and <br />11. The availability of other parking spaces. <br /> <br />. Parking is prohibited at all times for a distance of 50 feet on both sides of the <br />closure, on both sides of the street. This is necessary to provide room for <br />motorists to turn around and will also increase the visibility of the barricade. <br /> <br />. Demand for on-street parking is low to non-existent, due to the low density of <br />the residential and industrial development, and the availability of off-street <br />parking. <br /> <br />Due to the lack of demand for on-street parking, the parking prohibition is not a <br />relevant factor in considering whether to close the street. <br /> <br />Summary and Conclusion <br /> <br />The potential for cut-through truck traffic associated with the development and intensification of the <br />A&K site and lack of control of the truck traffic generation of subsequent owners of the site are the <br />primary motivating factors behind the closure and turn prohibition. <br /> <br />The conclusion of this report is that the closure and channelizer have only a small negative impact <br />on circulation in the west end of the Whiteaker neighborhood, particularly for truck traffic, but they <br />have a significant positive impact for the people who live in the residential area south and east of <br />Almaden and 3rd Avenue. The Eugene Code requires that a road closure be based on consideration <br />of each of the factors at EC 5.055. Consideration of the criteria at EC 5.055 results in positive <br />findings under criteria (g), (h) and (i) and, a determination that the considerations support the closure <br />of Almaden Street. <br />
