SUBMITTED BY: Joe Rosenlund Streets & Traffic Operations Manager 576 -6430 SUMMARY EXPLANATION: Business owners along the north side of Yakima Avenue between 7th Avenue and 8th Avenue have requested that the parking time limit on their street frontage be reduced in an effort to free up parking for customers by creating a higher parking turnover rate.

Name: U Yakima 7th Av to 8th Ay Parking Memo.doc U on West Yakima Av-5- Description: Cover Memo for Requested Parking Limit Change Ordinace Amending Parking Time Limit on Yakima Ave May 22, 2013 To: Honorable Mayor & City Council Tony O'Rourke, City Manager From: Joe Rosenlund Streets & Traffic Operations Manager Re: Ordinance Amendment to Change the Parking Time Limits on Yakima Avenue between 7t" Avenue and 8t" Avenue Business owners along the north side of Yakima Avenue between 7th Avenue and 8th Avenue have requested that the parking time limit be reduced from the existing two - hour limit to 30 minutes. They believe that the shorter time limit will free up parking for customers by creating a higher parking turnover rate. To some extent this is true. However, there are reasons to reduce the time limit to one hour instead of the 30 minutes requested. The inability to enforce a 30- minute limit outside of the downtown core is the primary reason not to have a 30- minute parking time limit. The City does not have personnel needed to enforce 30 minute parking outside of the central core. An officer would need to pass by the location approximately every 45 minutes to enforce a 30- minute time limit. The one reserve officer covering the downtown area cannot provide that level of enforcement on a regular basis. Another reason for the one -hour limit instead of 30 minutes is that 30 minutes may be too short of time for many customers of the businesses. The existing businesses include an radio/TV station, a dress shop, a vacant shop, and a Taco Time restaurant. The shorter time limit may not impact the television station or the Taco Time in most situations but could have an adverse impact on the dress shop. The vacant shop could have any number of uses that may make at least one hour of parking desirable for their customers. If it becomes apparent in the future that a shorter term parking stall is needed, a single parking stall could be posted to provide for that situation. Making the whole block 30- minute parking would be excessive.
