meet' g house should go towards balancing the parking program budget. <br /> Findin The WUNA meeting house was originally purchased with <br /> Com unity Block Grant Funds. The City spends virtually no money on the upkeep <br /> of th house; it is maintained by the neighborhood group. Space in the house is <br /> rente to non-profit organizations and the fund raising activities generate the <br /> main enance revenue. <br /> Comment 3. Non-residents and not the people who reside in these areas <br /> shoal pay to use the available on-street parking spaces. <br /> Findin : As indicated in Finding 1 above, residents and property owners do <br /> not h ve to buy a permit to use the available on-street parking spaces, only to avail <br /> them elves of the extended privileges not available to anon-permit holder. In <br /> addit on, non-residents (which includes students and people who work or have <br /> basin ss in the area) do currently pay permit fees for long-term daytime parking <br /> that re significantly higher than the proposed $15 annual fee for residents. <br /> Com uter/long-term parking permits cost $17.50 per month, or $1.50 per day. <br /> Thes fees were previously established and have been added to this fee schedule <br /> for c rity. <br /> comment 4: All on-street spaces in the focus areas should be metered <br /> parki g only and residents should then be given permits allowing them to park free <br /> at th metered spaces. <br /> Findin : The intent of the program is to (1) minimize the impact of long- <br /> term daytime parking from adjacent commercial and business areas without <br /> mini izing the opportunity for short-term parking, and to (2) maximize the <br /> avail bility of long-term parking for residents and property owners. In general, the <br /> City oes not currently meter residential areas because meters are used to promote <br /> turn ver where there is a high demand for short-term parking, typically in <br /> com ercial areas. <br /> D. Having fully responded to the comments received, I find that the fees <br /> hereinafter set forth are consistent with applicable policies and directives of the City <br /> Council, co parable to the fees established in other jurisdictions for similar services, and <br /> are necessa in order to defray the City's personnel costs associated with providing these <br /> services. <br /> On t e basis of these findings, I order that: <br /> The ollowing fees are hereby established for the indicated services in connection <br /> <br /> ~r Administra ive Order - 2 <br /> <br />
