Item No. 16-314
Date: August 8, 2016
Item/Subject: ORDINANCE, Amending Map Entitled ""Downtown Parking Management
District" By Eliminating Two Spaces on Main Street
Responsible Department: Public Works
Commentary:
This ordinance will amend the parking map to remove two parking spaces from the east side of
Main Street, as they are too close to the intersection with Water Street and occupy the right
turn lane from Main into Water. At Council direction, staff did communicate with neighboring
businesses. The retail operators did not think removing the spaces would cause harm, however
the owner of the building across the street was concerned about the loss of parking. Should
the council not want to remove the spaces; staff recommends that the right turn lane from Main
Street to Water Street be removed as the uses conflict. It is staffs recommendation that the
parking be removed. This item was reviewed and recommended for approval at the Business
and Economic Development Committee Meeting on July 25, 2016.
