SUBJECT: FINAL ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER
10.52.030 (TIME OF OPERATION) OF THE SAN LUIS OBISPO
MUNICIPAL CODE EXPANDING PARKING OPERATIONS TO
INCLUDE SUNDAY
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Ordinance No. 1566 (2011 Series) amending Chapter 10.52.030 (Time of operation)of the
San Luis Obispo Municipal Code expanding parking operations to include Sunday.
DISCUSSION
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.
On July 5, 2011, the City Council received a presentation by staff regarding proposed amendments
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. At the meeting, the Council voted 5
to 0 to introduce Ordinance No. 1566 (2011 Series) amending Chapter 10.52.030. Expanding
parking meter rates to include Sundays requires modification by ordinance pursuant to California
Vehicle Code section 22508.
Ordinance No. 1566 (2011 Series) is now ready for adoption and will become effective thirty days
after the date of its final passage.
