SUBJ:
Parking Revenue Plan (Phase I)
CAO RECOMMENDATION:
a) Introduce an ordinance to print amending section 10.64.030
(Parking Fines) of the Municipal Code to raise expired meter and
overnight parking fines from $5 to $10 effective January 1, 1991.
b) Introduce an ordinance to print amending section 10.050.010
(Parking Meter Zone Rates) to increase 350 core meters from 30 to
40 cents per hour effective January 1, 1991..
C) By motion, adopt a resolution to increase parking in-lieu fees
for new construction from $4,000 to $6,000 per space and use
change from $1, 000 to $1,500 per space effective January 1, 1991.
REPORT-IN-BRIEF
To eliminate the parking program's current negative cash flow, a
multi-faceted financial plan is recommended. Raising expired
meter fines to $10 and establishing a 40 cents per hour rate for i
350 core meters is within market rates for other comparable
cities. Raising parking in-lieu fees to $6,000 is still well
below the cost of developing new spaces. Council action has
already eliminated part of the deficiency by transferring all
parking fines to the Parking Fund and approving the concept of
the Business License Supplemental Fee Program, which will be
implemented no later than July 1, 1991.
BACKGROUND:
At its February 26, 1990 study session, Council was informed that
the parking program is currently facing a serious cash flow
deficiency. Part of the final action plan (See Exhibit A) from
the study session included developing a financial program to
correct the revenue short-fall for the present parking program.
The parking program needs to approach its financial short-fall on
a two phase basis--current and future program funding. The first
phase would correct the present program's negative cash flow
through the following:

ANXINGs COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Council Agenda Report
Page Two
1. 100% of parking fines to Parking Fund. (Implemented 7-1-90)
2. Increase parking fines for expired meters.
3. Increase meter rates in the core area.
4. Implement Business License Supplemental Fee Program.
5. Increase Parking In-lieu Fees.
All Phase I components should be implemented by June 1991. The
second phase would only apply to fund future expansion of parking
lots and structures. Possible funding options staff will consider
include an assessment district and higher Phase I rates.
It cannot be emphasized enough that without sufficient funds the
parking program can not fulfill its fundamental policy of being
self-supporting in order to maintain and expand parking
operations. Furthermore, preserving prime downtown parking
spaces for visitors/shoppers and protecting the character of
surrounding office and residential zones would also be in serious
jeopardy. To this end it is essential that additional revenues
are generated as soon as possible in order to correct the
existing deficiency and protect the city's substantial
investments.
Council has already taken action to partially correct the current
negative cash flow problem by adopting an ordinance change for
the disposition of fines and forfeitures. Beginning in July of
this year, all monies collected by the city for parking citations
have been going directly into the Parking Fund and not split with
the General Fund as was previously the procedure. This action is
projected to reduce the deficiency by nearly 40% ($160,000) .
However, without additional parking revenues the projected
deficits, ranging from $319,000 in 1991-92 to $619,000 by 1997-
98, will continue to escalate (Exhibit B) . Exhibit B-1 shows the
positive fund balance after the proposed increases.
DISCUSSION:
A financial plan that could eliminate the remaining negative cash
flow could include a combination of the following changes:
* Increase parking fines above $5.
* Establish a variable rate meter system by increasing 350
downtown core meters above 30 cents per hour.
* Increase parking in-lieu fees above $4,000 per space.
It is important to note that any increase in fines and fees
should be as equitable as possible, while at the same time not
becoming a deterrent to visitors. With these issues in mind,
staff conducted a survey of comparable cities (Exhibits C and D)
to determine market rates for parking meters and fines.

FINES
The City's current bail of $5.00 for expired meters is well below
the $10.00 average for all surveyed cities (Exhibit C) . Based on
the fact that 80% of all tickets written are for expired meters,
each dollar increase in fines could generate $40,000 annually.
Expired meters $6.00 fine $40,000 annual increase
$8.00 fine $120,000 annual increase
$10.00 fine $2000000 annual increase
Beyond the revenue enhancement of this proposal another
justification for increasing parking fines is that parking
enforcement is the key to effective parking management. Our
current low fine has manifested a list that includes 420 people
(with 10 or more tickets) who have a combined total of 71500
outstanding parking tickets, which represents $98,000 in
uncollected fines. Although the parking program has increased
the number of vehicles being towed for excessive tickets (average
fine $500) , and re-instituted the hold procedure for vehicle
registrations, a higher fine for expired meters could also help
reduce this habitual violator problem and minimize the need to
tow.
METER RATES
The sample cities were also surveyed for parking meter rates
(Exhibit D) . They ranged from $0.25 to $0.75 per hour, with the
average hourly rate at $0.50. Santa Cruz and Monterey, both
tourist cities like San Luis Obispo, have higher rates in their
prime tourist locations ($0.75 and $0.50 respectively). It is
this concept of a variable rate that could be applied to the
downtown area. . Since the charm of downtown San Luis Obispo is
the main shopper attraction, a higher rate for convenient core
parking would be consistent with other California cities.
This is similar to zones of benefit that are utilized by cities
with assessment districts. The closer the parking space is to
the visitors destination, the higher the assessment rate. In
other words, if shoppers want to park at Higuera and Garden
Streets, they would have to pay a higher rate than those who opt
to park two blocks away and walk to their destination. A $0.40
per hour rate for 350 core meters (Exhibit E) provides an
estimated revenue of $50,000 annually.
Core Meters $0.40 per hour $50,000 annual increase
(350 meters) $0.45 per hour $75,000 annual increase
$0.50 per hour $100,000 annual increase

FEES
The concept of a business license supplemental fee program
(additional surcharge to business license fees in the BIA service
area) has been approved as part of the 1990 Parking Management
Plan. The revised Parking Plan has recommended a deadline of no
later than July 1991 to establish the fee program, even if the
business tax has not been revised by that time. Based on current
tax rates, the estimated annual revenue is $65,000. A formal
plan to implement the fee will be submitted to Council sometime
in early 1991.
Current parking in-lieu fees revenue is $100,000 below projected
figures. The current fee of $4,000 for new construction and
$1,000 for use changes has only generated a lump sum amount of
$51,000 and an annual income of $35,000 from approximately 30
small businesses.
The rate established for in-lieu fees in 1987 was based on 40% of
the estimated cost to build a space in the downtown. This was
the recommendation of the 1986 IBI study which used $10,000 as
the cost of developing a space without land. Using the same
percentage as the IBI study, the new in-lieu rate would be $6,000
based on today's estimate of $15, 000 to build a space. The new
rate for use changes would be $1,500 per space. These proposed
rates are only an economic adjustment and not a base percentage
increase or a change in the Council approved policy.
Alternatives to the proposed rate increase would be to use the
total cost including land ($18, 000 to $20,000) of developing a
space. This would mean a $7,200 to $8,000 in-lieu fee. Or use the
$15,000, but at a higher percentage rate (50% or 60%) . This would
create a $7,500 to $9,000 in-lieu fee for new construction. Use
change rate would also be proportionate ($1,800 to $2,250) .
It should be pointed out that future discussion about in-lieu fee
policy may need to focus on the issue of construction projects
being allowed to pay for parking as opposed to providing it on-
site. This is supported by the fact that current parking
requirements in the C-C Zone are one-half of other zones in the
city. Also, many of the existing private retail/commercial spaces
are already operated on a shared use basis, and any new
development that does not provide parking spaces only impacts an
already overtaxed situation.
The combination of higher fines and core meter rates, and the
supplemental fee program, would allow the parking program to
obtain the needed funds to operate and maintain the existing
program and provide for future operational costs and limited

expansion. Higher parking in-lieu fees would also generate
funds, but the exact amount would depend upon the degree of
development in the C-C zone.
FINANCING FOR ADDITIONAL CAPITAL PROJECTS
The options presented address the short-term cash flow problems
for increasing revenue and, with periodic adjustments, can
support the program as long as no new structures are built. The
approval to construct a third structure will require that a new
long-term financial plan be in place in order to meet the
increased debt service. Some possible ways to meet the
additional revenue needs are as follows:
* Create an assessment district that would charge a fee
based upon benefit.
* Increase rates for meters, fines and fees.
It is recommended that further discussion of these additional
revenue sources be deferred until the Circulation Element is
adopted and the need for additional parking structures has been
determined.
C
CONCURRENCES:
The options to increase parking meter rates and fines have been
discussed and have the concurrences of the City Parking
Management and BIA Parking Committees, and the Departments of
Public Works, Finance, and Administration. No formal
recommendation was reached from any group about the increase for
parking in-lieu fees. The Chamber of Commerce Board and BIA
Board of Directors have concerns about the proposed increases but
made no formal recommendations for any of the new rates.
FISCAL IMPACT:
At current rates of expenditures and with current revenue
projections, the. Parking Fund's overall balance will be in a
deficit situation by early 1992. The recommended program will
provide a yearly cash infusion ranging from $265,000 to $325,000
depending upon the new rates for fines and meters. Implementing
the increases by Jan 1, 1991 would mean that $20,000 to $30,000
could begin to be generated each month. The total funds available
from this short-term plan will be used to operate and maintain
the parking program at its current planned level of two parking
structures. The estimated capital cost to implement meter and
parking fine increases is $15,000. The 90-91 budget has adequate
funds to complete these projects. Any additional parking

structures will require that additional fee programs be
established in order to meet long-term financial commitments.
ALTERNATIVES:
There are various ways to adjust the revenue sources to get a
little more from one and a little less from another. Staff is
recommending what it feels is a fair plan. Alternatives that
could be considered would be:
1. Make-up current deficit by assessment.
2. Raise Parking Structure Hourly Rate.
The parking program is self-sufficient and as such should obtain
funds from existing sources of revenue as opposed to creating new
revenue programs or relying upon tax dollars in order to maintain
existing levels of service. Higher rates for the structure
should not be considered at this time in order to encourage use
by long-term parkers. The mechanisms for generating the needed
revenue are in place, and can quickly and inexpensively solve the
cash flow problem. Major alternative sources of revenue should
only be considered for future capital projects.

MEMORANDUM
To: Dave Romero
From: John Dunn
Subject: Downtown parking - City Council direction from February
26 study session
Dave, I am sure Pam's summary hits the jackpot; using different
words, here's my summary of the direction the City Council gave us:
1. we should speed up the downtown planning process, including
the downtown concept plan, as much as possible. . It is
generally assumed that this should be done or be nearing
completion prior to making major. decisions on the development
of 'new structures. Councilman Reiss •emphasized that it, is
necessary to know how big the downtown area is, to establish
Cthe corners of the downtown.
2. Using similar reasoning, the Circulation Element should be
completed, or at least that portion having to do with the
downtown, prior to further parking structure development
decisions.
3. There was considerable conversation about improvement of the
City's transit system, particularly relating to serving
downtown, and the possible development of a.downtown shuttle.
Councilmember Pinard set forth the idea that meaningful
increases in transit/shuttle service might reduce some of the
need for parking facilities.
4 . Councilmember Rappa expressed the thought that parking
management techniques, such as limiting yellow zones, changing
time limits on certain parking spaces, etc. could effectively
increase the parking supply without adding additional lots or
structures.
5. The staff should continue to pursue an appropriate
Higuera/Nipomo location for site acquisition, with structure
development taking place after consideration of the above
items.
EXHIBIT A
6. Staff (Finance and Engineering) should prepare a financial
program for meeting the existing system deficit of C'
approximately $380,000 per year.
If you or others have corrections or additions please let me know.
Otherwise, consider this as a summary of Council direction on
downtown parking. I believe the Council direction is in no way
intended to preclude the things that we are presently working on
to improve the presently developed system.

Honorable.Mayor Ron Dunin
City Council
City of San Luis Obispo
I am concerned about the proposed 50% increase in the in-lieu parking fees for three
reasons.
1. Time lapse between parking demand and construction.
It could be years after the increase in parking demand created by new development
would be satisfied by the construction of new parking.
2. Fees not comnritted to the area of collection.
A new 40,000 sq. ft. development on Osos Street might pay $300,000 in fees only to
see them used to provide parking on Nipomo Street. It is hard to see the nexus
between the demand which generated the fees and the solution to be funded by the fees.
3. Fees will act to inhibit needed improvements in Downtown.
Existing buildings were never burdened with a fee to pay for the parking. Using the
40,000 sq. ft example in #2, it would require a $1.00/year increase in rent in new
buildings to cover the cost associated with the proposed fee. It seems likely to me that
the rent in existing buildings will also be increased. The net effect will be higher costs
of operation in Downtown with little of the money going to fund parking.
Is there an alternative? Yes. A master plan for Downtown should be developed One part
of that plan should be a program to not only eliminate the deficiency,but to create a surplus
of parking in the Downtown. As that surplus is consumed by new development, the in-lieu
fees could be used to fund additional parking. Such a program should be funded equitOly
by all those who benefit from the parking. Non-structural solutions could easily be
incorporated into such a program.
Serely,
