(a) Prerequisites for accepting an application. An application for installation or removal of four-way/ all-way stop controls at residential intersections must be filed with the traffic engineer. The traffic engineer shall not accept an application unless it has the support of at least two-thirds of the owners or tenants residing within 600 feet of the intersection at issue.
(b) Calculation of votes. The following rules apply for purposes of calculating the extent to which an application has the support of owners or tenants:
(1) Lots containing no more than four dwelling units receive one application vote per unit.
(2) Lots containing more than four dwelling units receive no votes unless the application is signed by the owner or property manager, in which case the lot is allocated a number of application votes based on the following formula:
Number of votes = Length of street frontage of the lot containing the dwelling units (in feet) divided by the average single family lot width (in feet) in the area within 600 feet of the intersection at issue.
(c) Owner or manager of a residential building may sign application. The owner or manager of a residential building may sign the application on behalf of the tenants.
(d) Public meeting. The traffic engineer may supplement the petition process with a public meeting, as needed. If a public meeting is held, the traffic engineer shall post the notice of the meeting on the city or department's website not less than 10 calendar days before the meeting. (Ord.
