RESOLUTION NO. 11334 (2022 SERIES)
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN LUIS
OBISPO, CALIFORNIA, ESTABLISHING PARKING RATES FOR THE
CITY’S PARKING STRUCTURES
WHEREAS, the City of San Luis Obispo wishes to maintain effective usage of its
public parking structures; and
WHEREAS, the parking fund needs to continue to be self-sufficient for its financial
commitments; and
WHEREAS, to address the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic to the
downtown business community, the parking program suspended collection of revenues,
deferred parking rate increases, and used reserve funding to maintain parking operations
during the pandemic; and
WHEREAS, the parking program is pursuing a loan for the construction of a fourth
public parking structure; and
WHEREAS, the fourth public parking structure represents a significant financial
investment that requires an increase to established rates before construction of the new
structure commences; and
WHEREAS, City Council in Resolution No. 11252 (Series 2021), effective July 1,
2023, the first sixty minutes of parking in the City’s parking structures free of charge shall
be eliminated. A fifteen-minute grace period shall be provided upon entry into all parking
structures before the hourly parking structure rates apply.
WHEREAS, the Council considered the parking revenue enhancement strategies
presented as part of the 2022-23 Supplemental Budget staff report and held a public
meeting which included review and discussion of the proposed changes to the parking
structures rates; and
WHEREAS, the adoption and implementation of these paid parking rates are
necessary to offset the construction costs of the new parking structures and to maintain
fiscal solvency of the Parking Enterprise Fund; and
WHEREAS, the Comprehensive Fee Schedule will be updated to reflect all new
and updated fees becoming effective July 1, 2023.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of San Luis
Obispo as follows:
SECTION 1. On June 7, 2022, Council approved extending the first sixty minutes
