SUBJECT: FINAL ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Ordinance No. 1565 (2011 Series) amending Chapter 10.3 6.220 (Residential parking permit-
Issuance)of the San Luis Obispo Municipal Code establishing fees for residential parking permits.
DISCUSSION
On July 5, 2011, the City Council received a presentation by staff regarding proposed amendments
to Chapter 10.36.220 (Residential parking permit-Issuance) of the San Luis Obispo Municipal Code
to establish fees for residential parking permits. At the meeting, the Council voted 3 to 1 (with
Mayor Marx recused)to introduce Ordinance No. 1565 (2011 Series)amending Chapter 10.36.220.
Last year the City issued 1512 residential parking permits. Currently there is no fee for residential
parking permits providing no cost recovery for the services provided. The ordinance change will
create better cost recovery for permit issuance, inspections, and enforcement without exceeding the
City's reasonable costs to provide these services.
Ordinance No. 1565 (2011 Series) is now ready for adoption and will become effective thirty days
after the date of its final passage.

Dear City Council Members,
I spoke to the council July5th raising concerns about parking permits. To refresh your
recollection. A portion of Tassajara Drive between Foothill and Ramona consisting of 8
homes is a part of a district. This block has a desire to eliminate the use of permits since
the needs to restrict parking have changed over the years.
After talking with parking staff they advised it will take several months to modify a
parking district. The same process to create the district will be followed to eliminate
one. We are not asking to eliminate the district only remove this one block which is at
the fringe of the district. I have included the "Permit District Instruction' at the end of
this document.
We ask you postpone the implementation of the fee to allow time to proceed with the
removal of the block from the district or simplify its removal since the block is not in the
middle of the district.
Sincerely
Roger Larson
