Rohloff, City Manager FROM: Christopher Strong, Transportation Director DATE: June 17, 2009 RE: Explanation of Monthly Parking Hours of Enforcement Ordinance Changes SECTIONS 27 -49 THROUGH 27 -59 — MUNICIPAL PARKING LOT PROPOSAL TO CHANGE HOURS OF ENFORCEMENT FOR MONTHLY PARKING SPACES This is a request from a Commission member. Sections 27 -49 through 27 -51 of the municipal code establishes areas where monthly parking is permitted. The code states that monthly parking stalls are enforced between 6 AM and 6 PM, allowing for them to be used at other times of day. The time break at 6 AM makes it difficult for residents who park in these spaces, while it is earlier than might be needed for many monthly parking space users. A later time break, such as 7 or 8 AM, would seem to accommodate residents while not inconveniencing commuters. To minimize the risk of unintended consequences, I recommend that the ordinance be changed to 7 AM. I have included as an attachment recommended ordinance language which would replace the existing Section 27 -49, Section 27 -50(B) and Section 27 -51. It changes every appearance of 6 AM to 7 AM. It defines enforcement for monthly parking in the West 8 th Avenue lot as between 7 AM and 6 PM, matching other parking lots. It also reorganizes the existing language in order to improve clarity. PASSED BY PARKING UTILITY COMMISSION (3 -0).
