DISCUSSION On July 5, 2011, the City Council received a presentation by staff regarding proposed amendments to Chapter 10.52.010 (Parking meter zone-Rates) of the San Luis Obispo Municipal Code to increase the on-street parking and parking lot meter rates from $1.25 to $1.50 an hour in a downtown"super core"zone. At the meeting staff also noted an inconsistency with the reference in the ordinance to Exhibit A. The ordinance"language has been clerically amended to correctly reference Exhibit A, The Parking Rate Zones Map. At the meeting, the Council voted 4 to 1 to introduce Ordinance No. 1568 (2011 Series) amending Chapter 10.52.010. Parking meter rates are required to be established and modified by ordinance pursuant to California Vehicle Code section 22508. This new zone will cover areas with the highest parking demand and meters in this area will be upgraded to accept credit cards to improve customer service. Increasing the on-street parking meter rates in this new zone follows best management practices by establishing higher rates in parking areas with higher parking demand. Ordinance No. 1568 (2011 Series) is now ready for adoption and will become effective thirty days after the date of its final passage.
