This past fall, the establishment of program fees required the <br />need for formal regulations for the existing zones in the University area <br />neighborhoods. Emergency rules were adopted to accommodate this. The at- <br />tached permanent rules are similar to these emergency rules. <br />One issue with this which we've discussed briefly deals with the Dental Arts <br />parking issue in the West University area. On pages 7 and 8 of the order, <br />there is a summary of their objection and staff's proposed finding. I recom- <br />mend not making any changes to the regulations since their request is incon- <br />sistent with the intent of the program. I did discuss this with the Mayor. <br />I don't believe he was satisfied that there isn't some reasonable justifica- <br />tion for an exemption. <br />.- The Dental Arts request is actually looking for some long term guarantee by <br />the city to allow them to park in the residential area. To my knowledge, the <br />city has never provided for such an arrangement for use of the public right- <br />of-way for private purposes. In fact, the residential permit zones them- <br />selves are not guaranteed for any period of time. Others involved, including <br />the neighborhood association and the attorney's office, .also do not believe <br />the exemption is justified. Debra Ehrman has. indicated she's okay with this. <br />I will respond to the Dental Arts request and will include a copy of the <br />adopted regulations and an explanation of their appeal rights. <br />If this is satisfactory, please sign the order and return it to me. Thanks. <br /> <br />
