Finding: I agree that this rule should not be enforced with respect to the already <br /> scheduled O'Bon Festival on July 29, 1995, and notwithstanding the effective date of this <br /> Order, the Japanese - American Association of Lane County is, exempted from the <br /> provisions thereof for the July 29, 1995 O'Bon Festival in Alton Baker Park. <br /> Comment 3: Dean Middleton of Celebrating Traditions objected to the parking <br /> fees and suggested that the fees should be based on the income generated by the event. <br /> Finding: As indicated in the findings in Administrative Order 58- 95 -05, the <br /> purpose of these regulations, including the parking fees, is to minimize damage to City <br /> property; recover costs for damage that does occur, and generate revenue for use of City <br /> property. These issues are all directly related to the number of vehicles parked, not the <br /> income received by the promoter of the event. In addition, the revision made in response <br /> to Comment 1 may also be applicable for the Celebrating Traditions: Native American <br /> Arts and Cultures event sponsored by this organization. <br /> D. In addition to the specific findings set forth above, I find that the proposed Policy <br /> and Procedures Regulating Vehicle Parking Off Improved Surfaces in Parks are necessary in order <br /> to ensure the continuance of special events that attract large numbers of participants and spectators <br /> requiring parking that cannot be accommodated with existing surface parking areas, and is in <br /> compliance with the City Council's directive. <br /> Now, therefore, based upon the above findings, I hereby adopt the following Policy and <br /> Procedures Regulating Vehicle Parking Off Improved Surfaces in Parks: <br /> POLICY AND PROCEDURES REGULATING VEHICLE PARKING <br /> OFF IMPROVED SURFACES IN PARKS <br /> 1. Policy. This rule and the procedures set forth herein shall apply to large events <br /> likely to require temporary (no more than three consecutive days) overflow parking of more than <br /> 200 vehicles off improved surfaces of park lands. In the event of a conflict between these <br /> procedures and other adopted City policies or rules, including Park Rules, the procedures set forth <br /> herein shall prevail. The policies and procedures established herein shall be administered by the <br /> City's Parks Operation Manager. <br /> 2. Application. A promoter of a large event likely to result in more than 200 vehicles <br /> being parked off improved surfaces of parks shall submit an application to the Public Works <br /> Department requesting development of a parking plan. The application shall indicate the estimated <br /> number of vehicles and bicycles, and the area for which parking is requested. <br /> 3. Permit. Upon review of the application, the Public Works Department may issue <br /> a permit to the promoter providing: <br /> Administrative Order - 2 <br />
