Subject: Parking restrictions
Dear Council member
I own the Parable building on the corner of Empleo and Granada. Over the years we have had a
constant problem with people parking overnight around our building. The problems include:
bathroom issues, use of water, loss of staff parking, unsightly presence when custoinerjvendors visit,
broken down vehicles, repairing vehicles with the associated oil spills, noise, cleaning vehicles and
leaving the clutter behind, dumping liquid products and killing our grass and landscaping, ignoring
parking restricted areas (yellow or red curbs), dumpster use and dumpster diving, safety , female
employees feeling safe especially in the darker winter months, etc. We regularly have six to eight
vehicles parked nearby.
I appreciate you taking up this issue and I know it's a hard one. We want to honor and help people in
need but also recognize and balance that with the needs commerce - the need to have an attractive
and functional business park.
One suggestion: might you consider a business area parking district? I'm afraid the problem will only
get worse when the shelter is built on the county property. I think a parking district with associated
permits might be a solution.
Thank you for your time and for taking on the hard issues.
