Walter, Director of Public Works Prepared By: Peggy Mandeville, Principal Transportation Planner rA SUBJECT: ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 10.52.030 (TIME OF OPERATION) OF THE SAN LUIS OBISPO MUNICIPAL CODE EXPANDING OPERATIONS TO INCLUDE SUNDAY RECOMMENDATION Introduce an ordinance amending Chapter 10.52.030(Time of operation)of the San Luis Obispo Municipal Code expanding operations to include Sunday. DISCUSSION Pursuant to the City Council's direction regarding parking revenue enhancements on April 5, 2011, and the 2011 Parking Fund review on June 14, 2011, staff is bringing forward recommended changes to Chapter 10.52.030 (Time of operation) of the San Luis Obispo Municipal Code to expand parking services to include Sunday from 1:00 pm to 6:00 pm. Expanding parking meter rates to include Sundays requires modification by ordinance pursuant to California Vehicle Code section 22508. Downtown parking has been free on Sundays. Downtown business hours have changed dramatically since parking meters were installed approximately 60 years ago when most businesses were closed on Sunday to most now remaining open. By expanding parking services to include Sunday, the fixed costs to operate and maintain these parking spaces are equitably paid for by all of the users. Currently these costs are covered by those paying for parking from Monday to Saturday; essentially subsidizing free Sunday use. CONCURRENCES Prior to the April 5, 2011 Council meeting, staff presented the staff recommendation to the Downtown Association Parking & Access Committee. The Committee and the Downtown Association Board of Directors voted to support Sunday parking. FISCAL IMPACT Staff estimates the following revenues and expenses associated with charging for parking on Sunday.

Well, we're a retired couple who won't shop in SLO on Sundays any more. The losers will be the clothing stores and the food establishments.. We went every Sunday for fun.

Changing the time of operation of loading zones to include Sundays and extending time of passenger loading zones to 10 minutes. 4. Increasing on-street parking meter rates from $1.25 to$1.50 an hour in a downtown "super core-zone. Staff reports are available on line(www.slocitv.org)for your review. If approved the ordinances will have second readings on July 19 and will go into effect no sooner than 30 days later and after any necessary signage is in place. Once we know the date we will start charging for parking on Sundays, we will contact the downtown churches, the Downtown Association, and the Chamber as well as notify the media and post notices in an effort to get the word out. Please contact me if you have any questions or comments. Thanks.

I would like to suggest that you are not likely to collect enough money to mitigate the effect and bad will. People's behavior is not static. It is probable that if one is charged for parking, one would consider going to Morro Bay or Pismo for lunch instead.
