ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS: FISCAL IMPACT: None Amount Budgeted: $0 Additional Appropriation: N/A Account Number(s): ORIGINATED BY: City Council REVIEWED BY: Mark D. Hensley, City Atto eye APPROVED BY: Jack Wayt, City Manager /fa BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION: In 2003, the City Council approved regulations affecting the Parking Structure located at 121 West Grand Avenue. Among other things, the City Council adopted a permit parking program which assisted downtown businesses in meeting parking requirements set forth in the ESMC. To continue assisting local businesses and make for street parking available, particularly in these times of economic downturn, the Dowtown Parking Subcommittee is recommending amending current regulations affecting the Parking Structure. The Subcommittee noted that encouraging employees of surrounding businesses to use the Parking Structure, rather than parking on City streets, would increase parking within the downtown area and consequently attact more visitors. 7a Accordingly, the Subcommittee directed that the two hour parking time limitations within the Parking Structure be removed during the day, but be imposed between 6 p.m. and 8 a.m. The latter restrictions would discourage overnight use of the Parking Structure. The draft ordinance and resolution would accomplish the City Council's intent. In addition, the draft resolution would authorize the City Manager, or designee, to identify certain parking stalls within the Parking Structure as "permit only" parking. This would ensure that those businesses which already acquired parking permits would have parking stalls available for their employees. No other changes are proposed with the draft documents.
