Currently trucks double park or block driveways. The proposed green zone would provide space for their customers who are quickly picking up items. A resident who lives across the street spoke in opposition to the proposal as this is not a citywide neighborhood commercial center and they don’t really need loading as it is fine if a truck double parks.

The same resident submitted an email in opposition also adding that there has never been loading here and it is not needed and will take away parking. A member of the public stated that the items should not be approved due to a lack of community engagement, the hours should be addressed and that six-wheel loading should be considered as the space will be too small. The building owner and former manager of the corner store submitted an email in support of the proposed zones stating that they had a green and yellow zone when they managed the store and that these zones helped avoid congestion and street blockages which is important for safety because Hugo is a narrow street and a bike route, cars and trucks get stuck if someone double parks.

* This facility is now being used by the Department of Public Health - California Children Services Medical Therapy Program/Unit and the change in zone type and days and hours would better meet their needs.
* Public Comments: Staff from the school district, who also occupy this building, spoke in support of the proposed zone changes.
