YAKIMA, WASHINGTON - _ - AGENDA STATEMENT Item No. For Meeting Of: February 15, 2005 ITEM TITLE: An Ordinance relating to Parking in the Downtown Area SUBMITTED BY Finance Department Economic Development Department • CONTACT PERSON/TELEPHONE: Bill Cook, Director of Community and Economic Development 575 - 6113 . _ Pete Hobbs, Utility Services Manager 575 -6080 SUMMARY EXPLANATION: The City Council considered this information at its January 18, 2005 meeting and requested staff to consult with the West Side Merchants and Front Street Association to confirm that they agree with the proposed changes to the parking limits in the area outside the 16 -block core area, but within the downtown area outlined in the ordinance. Monica Weyhe, member of the Yakima Downtown Association, consulted with the other downtown groups and determined that the Westside and Front Street Merchants were not prepared to comment on the proposed changes without additional discussion and evaluation by their respective ill - organizations. However, because many of the proposed changes only affect the 16 -block YDA area (i.e. 3- ) hour parking limit in city -owned lots, percentage of parking lot spaces committed to monthly parking, and the quarterly rental rate), and because YDA is anxious to move forward with extended downtown parking limits in their own 16 -block area, . the ordinance has been amended to change parking limits only within the YDA 16 -block area. When and if the other two associations are ready to recommend similar changes, we will come back to Council to recommend amendments to this ordinance. At the February 1, 2005, City of Yakima Council meeting the Parking Ordinance was removed from the agenda to allow time to address the issue of residential parking permits in the downtown core area. The attached ordinance repeals section 9.50.205, Residential Parking Permits for City Owned Parking Lots, and amends section 9.50.220 of Chapter 9.50 to add residential parking within one section. This ordinance just addresses the downtown parking lots in the 16 -block core area. - Continued on Page two- Resolution _ Ordinance X Contract Other (Specify) Funding Source APPROVAL FOR SUBMITTAL: --...''''*-- a - CCity Manager STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Pass ordinance. • . COUNCIL ACTION: The Downtown area is in a state of transition. With the closing of the Yakima Mall, there is a lower deman for shopping related parking in the downtown area. There is a corresponding decrease in parking relate revenues. However, the parking requirements_of people that work in the downtown area remain. The ' strategy of this requested change is to get cars off the streets and into City lots, thereby freeing up street parking for customers. The Yakima Downtown Association has requested City Council to modify the current parking ordinance to include the following: • Increase the allowable number of parking permits in the City owned lots from 114 to 175. There are currently 349 spaces, including handicapped spaces. • Decrease the price of permits in those lots from $120.00 to $60.00 per quarter, •.. Remove some restrictions on permit eligibility • Increase the free parking time in the City lots from two hours to three hours • Increase the on- street parking limit from two hours to three hours in the 16 block core business district. r 2009 Parking Commission Members 1111 Larry Hull — President — larrvt megalodonilc.net Mike McMurrary - 457 -5151, Imcmur6003 ceaol.com Nick Hughes — nhughes0180acharter.net Joe Morrier — 248-4040, joe iemdev.com Diance Vance — dianevance Tony.
