HomeMy WebLinkAbout05 - Parking Meter Rate Increases• MAY 23, 2000 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. 3 TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council coups Od QmmA FROM: Public Works Department �� ®, 5 b Zia /Do SUBJECT: PARKING METER RATE INCREASES RECOMMENDATION: 1. Adopt a resolution establishing parking meter fees in off - street parking lots. 2. Introduce an ordinance establishing parking meter fees for on- street meters and pass a second reading on June 13, 2000. DISCUSSION: The City's consultant for the Balboa Peninsula Parking Management Program made a number of recommendations on how the City's limited supply of parking spaces could be more effectively managed. These recommendations resulted from their knowledge of parking programs in other coastal cities as well as a series of community workshops. One of those recommendations was to increase the hourly meter fees for meters that • are currently charging less than $1.00 per hour. The consultant's recommendations were discussed several times by the City Council including most recently at the Study Session on May 9, 2000. The City establishes meter operations by resolution for meters in off - street parking lots. The proposed changes are an increase in rate from $.25 /hour to $.50 /hour in the Cannery Village Parking Lot and the Central Lot in the Lido Marina Village area. In the Balboa Village area the rate would be increased from $.50 /hour to $1.00 /hour in the Palm Street Lot and in the small Washington Street Lot from $.25 /hour to $1.00 /hour. The rates for the on- street meters are established by ordinance. The recommendation is an increase to $1.00 /hour for the meters on Balboa Boulevard, Palm Street, and Bay Avenue in Balboa Village. The on- street meters in Cannery Village and the Lido area near City Hall will have a rate increase to $.50 /hour. The changes for both on- street and off - street meters are shown on Exhibit 1.

Actions approved included an increase in parking meter fees. All fees in the Balboa Village area were to be increased to $1.00 per hour. The on- street meters in Balboa Village are currently $.25 per hour and those in the Palm Street Parking Lot are $.50 per hour. The action also included raising the meter rates in the Lido area from $.25 to $.50 per hour. Staff recommends all meter fees that are currently $.25 per hour be raised to $.50 per hour. In addition to the meters in the Lido area, this would include the meters along •Coast Highway, in the Mariners Mile Parking Lot, and throughout Cannery Village. The existing meter rates are shown on Attachment 1. Meters with a $.25 per hour rate have been that rate since 1989. Staff contacted the adjacent cities of Huntington Beach and Laguna Beach to compare parking meter rates. Laguna Beach charges $1.00 per hour for all of their meters, both on- street and in parking structures. Huntington Beach currently charges $1.00 at most of their meters. Meter fees along Pacific Coast Highway and in beach lots are $1.50 per hour. Huntington Beach recently introduced an ordinance to increase fees to $2.00 per hour in their downtown parking structure and along Main Street. As of the writing of this memo, no final action has been taken due to extensive opposition to the increase. The consultant who put together the Parking Management Program outlined the benefits of increasing meter rates: • Increasing $.25 per hour fee would increase turnover of prime spaces. Some employees park in the closest spaces and limit convenient access to patrons. • Increasing the rate would bring the City of Newport Beach rates more in line with what other beach cities charge for parking. Leaders of the Balboa Merchants and Owners Association indicated support for the higher rates in Balboa Village. One of their concerns is that on busy beach days, some beach goers come back and feed the meters every hour because it costs much less �� than parking at the Balboa Pier Parking Lot for $1.50 per hour. They feel higher meter SUBJECT: Parking Meter Fee Increase April 25. 2000 Page 2 fees will discourage both beach visitors and local business employees from taking the limited spaces in Balboa Village. In summary, the consultant for the Parking Management Program recommended increasing meter rates in a report originally presented to the City Council on September 13, 1999. The report specifically recommended an annual increase of $.25 per hour for three consecutive years in the Balboa Village area. That would raise the current meter fees from $.25 to $1.00 per hour at the end of three years. The report also recommended a one -time fee increase from $.25 per hour to $.50 per hour in the McFadden Plaza /Lido /Cannery Village area. The Council referred the report to the Promote Revitalization of the Peninsula (PROP) committee for review and recommendations. PROP returned to the City Council on February 8, 2000, with a recommendation to increase meter fees in Balboa Village from $.25 per hour to $1.00 per hour and in the Lido area from $.25 per hour to $.50 per hour. Staff interpreted the PROP recommendation relative to the "Lido area" to mean all of the meters on the Peninsula currently at the $.25 per hour rate including those in Cannery Village and in the area between Cannery Village and McFadden Plaza. Should the City Council reaffirm approval of the PROP recommendation, staff will prepare a draft resolution to increase fees in metered lots; and a draft ordinance to increase fees for on- street parking meters, which will be submitted to Council for consideration.
