DISCUSSION: The Harbor View Hills South Homeowners Association has expressed concerns regarding traffic speeds and safety on Park Green Drive. Park Green Drive is centrally located within the neighborhood, and provides direct access from Marguerite Avenue to many streets and residences in Harbor View Hills. In addition, a community greenbelt/park exists adjacent to Park Green Drive. The Homeowners Association has specifically requested the installation of a STOP sign on Park Green Drive eastbound at Sandcastle Drive. This request was discussed at the Traffic Affairs Committee (TAC) meeting on October 12, 2005. The Committee did agree to the installation of the STOP sign, on the basis that providing STOP control should improve safety at the intersection by reducing conflicting movements. A secondary benefit could be reduction of speeds on Park Green Drive, which is the objective of the Homeowners Association. Environmental Review: Categorically Exempt under Chapter 3, Article 19, Section 15301, Class 1(c) of Title 14, California Code of Regulations. Exemption for the operation of existing facilities.
