To :
Mayor Romero and City Council member s
From :
Deborah Cash, Executive Directo r
SLO Downtown Associatio n
Recommend to City Council to support Planning Commission's
recommendation with removal of public parking from Garden Street
Terraces with caveat that in lieu and lease payments go to the City's
enterprise parking fund .
It is understood that the City has well illustrated the challenges of operating a
public parking enterprise in a private structure and, further, that the City's
parking management practices have historically been carefully assessed to meet
the parking demand created by any new situation where parking is lost .
The Downtown Association is also supportive of the continuing momentum o f
the Palm Nipomo parking structure and while the Parking and Access committe e
and Board do not necessarily feel that particular structure should be "tied" to th e
Garden Street Terraces projects, its presence will provide a critical piece to th e
eventual parking management plan for all of Downtown .
Lastly, the Board also notes that the developer and his team continue to b e
responsive to the needs and desires of the community, particularly th e
Downtown neighbors, showing good faith efforts to address and find solutions t o
concerns as they are raised .
Therefore, the Board encourages the Council to support and move forward wit h
the Garden Street Terraces project as per the Planning Commission's
recommendation .
