Walter, Director of Public Work s Prepared By :Peggy Mandeville, Principal Transportation Planne r SUBJECT :ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 10 .40 .010 (TIMED PARKING)OF THE SAN LUIS OBISPO MUNICIPAL COD E EXPANDING TIMED PARKING TO INCLUDE SUNDAY RECOMMENDATIO N Introduce an ordinance amending Chapter 10 .40 .010 (Timed Parking) of the San Luis Obispo Municipal Code to reference other pertinent sections of the Municipal Code already amended t o include Sunday parking . DISCUSSIO N On July 5, 2011 the City Council approved several changes to the City's Municipal Code to expan d parking services to include Sunday from 1 :00 pm to 6 :00 pm . Staff recently identified one Municipal Code section that was inadvertently overlooked when amendments were adopted an d will need to be amended to include Sunday parking restrictions . Municipal Code Section 10 .40 .01 0 (Timed Parking) regulates timed parking zones (such as two-hour zones). To be consistent with th e new regulations regarding Sunday parking and enable enforcement of timed parking on Sundays , this ordinance section will need to be amended . Moreover, this ordinance will simply reference th e other relevant Municipal Code Section (section 10 .52 .030). This will adopt the existing parkin g restrictions by reference and should the specifics ever change in the future no further change to thi s section will be required . This simplification should alleviate a similar oversight in the future . Parking signs required to enforce Sunday parking are scheduled to be installed in mid-May 2012 . Prior to enforcing Sunday parking, staff will work with the Downtown Association on a publi c outreach campaign to raise awareness of new Sunday parking regulations . CONCURRENCE S The Downtown Association Parking & Access Committee and the Downtown Association Board of Directors voted to support Sunday parking . ALTERNATIV E Do not change the Municipal Code Section .This is not recommended as the City will not be abl e to enforce timed parking restrictions on Sundays without approval of the Municipal Cod e amendment .
