Attachments: Cost Sharing MOU Regional Needs Assessment Draft Contract with BAE
SMR 2025 Schedule of Fees
BAE_EasternSierraHousingNeedsAssessment_Proposal
STAFF REPORT
Background/History:
To address the need for adequate housing in the region, the County of Inyo, County of Mono, Town of Mammoth Lakes, City of Bishop, and Eastern Sierra Council of Governments (ESCOG) agreed to prepare a Regional Housing Needs Assessment and Action Plan.
A staff committee representing the participating jurisdictions developed and issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) to retain a consultant for the assessment. Mono County’s existing contract with SMR Development provided support for the preparation, distribution, and evaluation of the RFP.
BAE Urban Economics was selected as the consultant to prepare the Regional Housing Needs Assessment and Action Plan. To streamline the process, Inyo County offered to administer the contract with BAE, with the other jurisdictions reimbursing Inyo for their respective shares of the contract cost.
Analysis/Discussion:
The total cost of the assessment will be shared among the four participating jurisdictions: Inyo County, Mono County, Town of Mammoth Lakes, and City of Bishop. However, since Mono County contributed resources through its contract with SMR Development, Mono’s share of the cost will be reduced proportionally.
Approval of this MOU will formalize the cost-sharing arrangement and enable the project to move forward, ensuring the region has a comprehensive plan to address housing needs.
Economic Impacts:
69 N/A
Budget Impacts:
If the suggested action is taken by City Council, the FY 2024-25 budget shall be updated to facilitate future transactions pursuant to the MOU. The City would transfer funds out of its General Fund, into its Property/Housing Development Fund. The accounts and amounts impacted are listed below:
001-034-59999 Transfers Out 54,089.00
023-000-39999 Transfers In (54,089.00)
Legal Review:
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Administrator to execute the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the Regional Housing Needs Assessment for an amount not to exceed $54,089.00.

APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY
The following briefly summarizes BAE’s proposed scope of work, with optional tasks. We anticipate that this would represent a starting point for discussion. We look forward to working with the Collective Housing Committee (CHC) to tailor the scope of work further, if needed.
Phase I – Regional Housing Needs Assessment + Market Analysis Per the requested scope of work, Phase I of the project will include collection of background information necessary to inform preparation of the Action Plan under Phase II.
Task 1: Kickoff Meeting and Information Request
BAE staff will attend a virtual kickoff meeting with members of the CHC, including representatives from Inyo and Mono Counties, the Town of Mammoth Lakes, the City of Bishop, the Eastern Sierra Council of Governments (ESCOG), and SMR Development. The purpose of the meeting will be to review the work scope and schedule, discuss project logistics and coordination, plan for the first community workshop, and to provide BAE with any relevant background materials and locally available datasets (e.g., building permit data, planned and proposed project inventory, assessors’ parcel data, zoning and land use data, short-term rental permit data and transient occupancy tax receipts, etc.). In addition, the CHC can provide direction on modifications to the Study Region (Inyo County and Mono County) and/or sub-area boundaries (Town of Mammoth Lakes, City of Bishop, and all Census Designated Places), and BAE and the CHC can discuss refinements to the work scope. BAE will also provide the CHC with updated copies of the employer and employee survey tools for review and comment.
Task 2: Review Background Materials
BAE will review background materials provided by the CHC regarding affordable and workforce housing needs and policies within the Study Region, including but shall not be limited to:
- 2005 Inyo and Mono County Housing Needs Assessment
- 2017 Mono County Housing Needs Assessment and Resident Survey - 2017 Mammoth Lakes Housing Needs Assessment and Action Plan - 2019-2027 Town of Mammoth Lakes Housing Element
- 2019-2027 City of Bishop Housing Element
- 2019-2027 Mono County Housing Element
- 2021-2029 Inyo County Housing Element
- 2022 Downtown Bishop Specific Plan and Mixed-Use Overlay - 2022 Evaluating Infill Housing Opportunities to Reduce Inyo County per Capita VMT - 2024 Town of Mammoth Lakes Short-Term Rental Study
- 2024 Mono County Short-Term Rental Housing Study
95 4
Task 3: Identify Current Demographic and Economic Trends Under this task, BAE will collect relevant statistics regarding community demographics, household composition, regional employment and commuting patterns, housing inventory characteristics, and housing market conditions and. BAE will collect statistics from the 2010 and 2020 Decennial Census, as well as the most recent available American Community Survey (ACS), and will consult with members of the CHC (and the ESCOG in particular) regarding known errors and shortcomings associated with these data sets. BAE will also leverage other demographic and economic data source, as needed, including data available from the California Department of Finance (DOF), Department of Transportation (Caltrans), Employment Development Department (EDD), Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA), the U.S.
Postal Service (USPS), and U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), as well as a variety of available private data sources such as CoStar, ListSource, and AirDNA. Data will be collected for the Study Region and subareas. Some selected data may also be collected at the Census Block Group and/or Tract level to facilitate preparation of thematic maps.
The specific variables collected using publicly available data sources will include, but shall not be limited to, total population, age distribution, racial and ethnic distribution, seasonal population changes, number of households, households by income category, household size and type, occupied housing units by tenure (e.g., renter occupied, owner occupied, vacant), households by presence of housing problems,1 housing units by type (e.g., single-family, multifamily, etc.), employment by industry (both monthly and annual for the two counties and incorporated cities), unemployment and labor force trends, occupational employment characteristics, regional commuting patterns, sales tax and transient occupancy tax trends, housing units by type of vacancy (e.g., functional vs. seasonal, etc.), and housing units by size.
As an additional no-cost option, BAE can also supplement information previously collected for Mono County (i.e., add in data for Inyo County) regarding change of address requests submitted to the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) to assess the order of magnitude of in- and outmigration that occurred in recent years and a result of COVID-19 induced regional migration.
Additional data on recent trends in the for-sale and rental housing markets will be collected from private data vendors and various other local sources. For example, BAE will process and review information on residential purchases available through ListSource, a private data vendor, to identify trends in home sales volumes and pricing by subarea and asset class. BAE will also review the available data from CoStar on inventory and pricing trends within the multifamily rental housing market, but will also conduct primary research to identify private rental listings for single-family homes and condominiums that are for rent within the study area. BAE will also interview real estate brokers and property managers to assess trends in the housing market. Data on the tourist accommodations inventory will be collected from the local tourism bureaus (i.e., Visit Mammoth and Visit Bishop), as well as from CoStar for the 1 As defined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the U.S. Census Bureau. 96 5
hotel inventory and from AirDNA for the short-term rental industry. BAE will also request information on recent building permit trends and residential development projects planned for construction in the study area, as well as any non-residential projects that would involve a significant increase in local or regional employment (thereby creating new housing demand).
In addition to collecting the above data on household demographics and housing market trends, BAE will calculate the relative for-sale home prices and rental rates that may be affordable at different income levels, as well as the income that would be necessary to reasonably afford market rate housing within each market segment using industry standard methods and loan underwriting criteria, including the California State income limits.
Task 4: Community Outreach and Stakeholder Surveys
To collect additional information necessary to interpret the quantitative data collected under Task 3, which will also be needed to complete the housing need estimates under Task 5, BAE proposes to complete a series of interviews and to administrate a pair of custom survey tools.
Task 4a: Real Estate Industry Interviews
Under this task, BAE will conduct one-on-one and/or group interviews with up to 20 individuals knowledgeable about local housing market conditions and trends. This will include real estate brokers and property managers, as well as housing advocates, policymakers, and housing program administrators. The interviews may be conducted inperson or virtually (either by phone or web meeting), as dictated by the schedule and budget.
BAE will work with the CHC as part of the kickoff meeting to identify potential contacts.
Task 4b: Employer and Employee Surveys
To collect information about the impacts of the workforce housing shortage on job creation, as well as on workforce housing preferences, BAE proposes to administer two concurrent surveys, one aimed at employers and the other at employees. These tools will be based on templates previously used by BAE for similar research (see Exhibits B and C), but will be modified by BAE in consultation with the CHC prior to implementation. The survey tools will be made available online using the SurveyMonkey web survey platform, though hard copy surveys will be available upon request, as well as for use by partner organizations and agencies that would like to assist with survey implementation.
BAE will work with the CHC to compile available business license information and Chamber of Commerce member rolls, including mailing addresses and email addresses for businesses within the Study Region. If needed, BAE can also augment the data provided by the CHC with additional information available through Dun and Bradstreet (D&B), at an additional cost. BAE will then prepare a list of up to 400 businesses to invite to participate in the employer survey. BAE will then prepare customized survey packets for distribution to target employers via email and the USPS. Each information packet will include an introductory letter explaining the purpose of the survey and the uses of its data, including 97 6
assurances of anonymity for all survey responses. The letter will give instructions for a business representative to fill out the employer survey and for the business to distribute the employee survey to its workers. The introductory letter will provide web links for the online employer and employee surveys and will also provide web links to download and print hard copy forms for both the employer and employee surveys, along with instructions to mail or email completed surveys to BAE for processing.
In addition to requesting that businesses receiving the survey packets encourage their workers to respond to the employee survey, BAE will also strategize with the CHC to identify methods to publicize the availability of the employee survey through social media channels that would reach local employees independent of their employers. BAE will also work with the CHC to identify the most appropriate timing for administration of the employee survey to optimize the response rates for both year-round and seasonal employees (e.g., avoid the shoulder seasons when some year-round workers leave the area for vacations).
Once the survey period (approximately eight weeks) has lapsed, BAE will download all survey responses from the employer and employee surveys. BAE will also enter the data from any completed hard copy surveys returned to BAE via mail or e-mail. Upon completing survey data entry and cleaning, BAE will analyze the data for use in estimating demand for affordable workforce housing. An important goal of the survey work is to better understand the circumstances of workforce households and their housing needs, by income level.
Task 4c: Community Workshops
BAE will facilitate up to three in-person community workshops during Phase I which will be structured as presentations to members of the CHC, but will also be open to the public and will provide the public with opportunities to observe the process, learn from the information being presented, and provide their own input. The exact number of meetings and their locations will be up to the CHC, the proposed budget assumes the following:
Workshop #1 – Formally convene the CHC, provide a summary of the reasons for undertaking this work, introduce the consultant team, review the proposed process, scope of work, and schedule. Introduce the employer and employee surveys and begin soliciting support. BAE recommends holding this workshop shortly after the kickoff meeting, which can be used to coordinate the first workshop.
Workshop #2 – Present an interim update (with detailed slide deck) to the CHC on the Demographic and Economic Trends analysis and the stakeholder interviews. Announce plans for the employer and employee surveys.
Workshop #3 – Present on key findings (with detailed slide deck) from the community outreach interviews, prior CHC workshops, and the employer and employee surveys. Introduce the Phase II process.
98 7
Task 4d: Translation Services
BAE For the purposes of facilitating workshops and other community outreach, BAE will provide Spanish language copies of public facing print and presentation materials, such as the survey tools, invitation letters, and presentation slides. The CHC will be responsible for coordinating and absorbing the cost of in-person Spanish language translations at each of the community workshops. BAE will provide Spanish language copies of the executive summaries for the Phase I and Phase II reports. A Spanish language copy of the full-text reports may be prepared upon request at additional cost.
Task 4e: Community Town Hall Forums (Optional)
As an optional task, BAE staff will be available to participate in up to eight community town hall forums at locations throughout the Study Region. The forums will be structured to summarize the available information on existing unmet housing needs and to solicit input on community housing needs throughout the Study Region. The intent will be to conduct up to four town halls in each county, distributing the meetings in such a way as to achieve the best possible geographic representation of the community. For example, in Mono County, the town halls might be held in the Colville/Walker, Bridgeport, June Lake/Mammoth Lakes, and Benton/Chalfant areas. In Inyo County, the town halls might be distributed across the Bishop, Lone Pine, and Shoshone/Tecopa areas. The exact locations for the town halls would be determined in consultation with the participating jurisdictions who would also be responsible for securing facilities and advertising the meetings to the public. The cost for this task will be determined in conversation with the CHC depending on the ability to consolidated multiple town halls into a small number of staff trips to the Eastern Sierra.
Task 5: Estimate and Forecast Housing Needs by Type
Under this task, BAE will prepare estimates of the order of magnitude of housing demand originating from existing resident, non-resident, and seasonal worker households. These estimates will illustrate the relative magnitude of the mismatch between the available housing stock within the region and the types of housing units that may best suit the needs of the region’s workforce. As a result, the estimates should not be interpreted strictly as the number of new units that need to be built, but as the number of units that need to be “made available” to meet the needs of the workforce. For example, a portion of the estimated unmet demand comes from households that live in housing units with inadequate kitchen and plumbing facilities, which are overcrowded, or in households that are significantly overpaying for housing. Therefore, a portion of the estimated unmet demand may be satisfied through programs aimed at residential rehabilitation and towards improving affordability within the existing rental and for-sale housing stock. Nonetheless, a portion of the identified unmet demand, notably the demand from non-resident in-commuter workforce households and households associated with new employment growth, must be satisfied through the provision of new units (e.g., either new construction or conversion of existing second homes). 99 8
Task 5a: Estimate Number of Resident Workforce Households The first step in the process of estimating unmet workforce housing needs is to identify the number of existing resident workforce households. To do this, BAE uses the robust demographic data available through the U.S. Census Bureau Public Use Microdata Sample (PUMS). The PUMS data provide a sample of individual responses to the American Community Survey (ACS) for defined areas of 100,000 or more persons (Public Use Microdata Areas, or PUMAs), which allow the creation of cross-tabulations of data not otherwise available in the published ACS data tables. BAE will use the SPSS statistical software package to generate frequency counts of resident workers by occupation, household size, and combined household income. The data is then adjusted to account for the number of workers in the Study Region compared to the PUMA analysis area. BAE will then use data from the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) and the Census Bureau’s Non-Employer Statistics to reweight the distribution to align with the occupational employment distribution observed within the Study Region specifically. BAE will then use the PUMS data to convert from resident workers to worker households by income level.
Task 5b: Estimate Number of Seasonal and In-Commuter Workforce Households The next step is to estimate the number of seasonal workforce households living in the Study Region. This ss done based on the total number of resident workers identified based on the PUMS analysis, which represents an annual average. BAE then adjusts the total number of year-round resident workers downward, proportionate to the seasonal fluctuations in employment, to estimate the number of off-season resident workforce households, and upwards to estimate the number of peak season resident workforce households, based on QCEW and Census Non-Employer Statistics. The difference between these estimates equals the total number of seasonal workers that live in the Study Region.
To estimate the number of households associated with the in-commuter workforce, BAE will apply the region’s gross in-commuter rate, based on data from ESCOG and/or the U.S.
Census Bureau, to the average annual resident workforce estimates. To convert from workers to workforce households, BAE will apply worker per household, total household size, and household income estimates derived based on the employee survey response data.
Task 5c: Estimate Unmet Workforce Housing Demand by Type To estimate the anticipated housing demand generated by workforce households of all types, BAE makes the simplifying assumption that each household would occupy the smallest available unit, while simultaneously avoiding overcrowding (i.e., no more than two persons per bedroom, or more than one person per room). While many households prefer housing that is larger than the minimum necessary to avoid overcrowding, to the extent that housing affordability correlates with housing type and size, workforce households that are struggling to locate and secure housing often need to occupy smaller units than they might prefer. The unmet resident workforce housing demand estimates are subsequently based on estimates of total workforce housing demand from year-round resident worker households, multiplied by the proportion of households within each income category that 100
9 experienced one of the four HUD defined housing problems, as reported in the HUD Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) dataset. Unmet seasonal and nonresident workforce housing demand estimates are based the proportion of seasonal and incommuter survey respondents who indicated their preferred housing type and who would relocate to the Study Area if adequate housing options were made available.
Task 5d: Forecast Future Housing Needs by Type, Size, and Affordability Level BAE will forecast anticipated future housing needs over the next five to ten years by housing type, household size, and affordability level. To do this, BAE will evaluate jobs by industry forecasts available from the EDD and Caltrans and will convert forecasted workers to forecasted workforce housing demand based on the distribution of workforce households by type (i.e., resident, seasonal, and in-commuter), household size, and income level, based on the distributions matrices compiled in Tasks 5a-d above.
Task 5e: Estimate/Forecast Housing Needs by Race/Ethnicity (OPTIONAL) As an optional task, BAE can also calculate the distribution of unmet housing needs for each worker household category by worker race and ethnicity. The calculations are based on the distribution of workers by race and ethnicity, as reported in the PUMS, as well as by seasonal workers and in-commuters as part of the employee survey. Additional cross tabulations not otherwise specified here may also be possible at an additional cost.
Task 5f: Prepare Housing Need Estimation and Forecasting workbook As a final subtask under Task 5, BAE will prepare a Microsoft Excel workbook similar to the attached example (see Exhibit D), that will allow the CHC to replicate the methods used for this study for future updates. The workbook will identify where the CHC should enter newly updated data and will identify the appropriate data sources and formats to be used.
Task 6: Housing Funding/Financing Gap Analysis
Under this task, BAE will prepare a set of tables that compare consumer spending power for housing at different income levels with the cost associated with providing housing. BAE will prepare a table illustrating the maximum rent that can be considered affordable at each income level, assuming 30 percent of income goes to housing with allowances made for utilities. BAE will then calculate the amount of permanent debt that could be supported based on the rent that is affordable at each income level. BAE will also calculate the maximum forsale home purchase prices that could be considered affordable at each income level based on prevailing mortgage lending terms and will compare. BAE will then compare the debt that would be supportable by rental income and the for-sale purchases prices at each income level to the cost of providing different types of housing (e.g., single-family homes, ADUs, apartments, condominiums, etc.). The difference between what the consumer can afford to support and the cost of providing housing is known as the financing gap, which would need to be closed through some form of subsidy or cost reduction to make development financially feasible. The funding/financing gap estimates and the housing need estimates, when combined, can 101
10 provide perspective on the order of magnitude cost that would need to be closed in order to provide housing sufficient to meet the estimated existing and forecasted need.
Task 7: Regional Housing Sites Inventory (Optional)
As an optional task, BAE will prepare an inventory of residentially zoned land throughout Inyo and Mono Counties, as well as the incorporated Town of Mammoth Lakes and City of Bishop.
To do this, BAE will collect the current assessor’s parcel database in ArcGIS geodatabase format, along with files associated with General Plan Land Use and Zoning designations. The participating jurisdictions will provide guidance regarding the land use and zoning districts that allow different types of housing, and will also need to provide BAE with other data sets necessary to evaluate the project readiness of different potential housing opportunity sites.
These additional data sets will be dependent on what is available from the jurisdictions, but may include roadways; water, sewer, and electrical infrastructure; public land ownership; flood zone overlays; etc. BAE will use assessed value data and indicators within the assessors’ parcel database related to the presence of built structures to identify vacant and underutilized parcels. BAE will coordinate with staff from each jurisdiction to identify additional government owned property that may represent potential housing opportunity sites. BAE will then work with staff from each jurisdiction to calculate an assumed buildout density and site efficiency factor for each applicable zoning district that may be reasonably achievable, and will use these factors to estimate the residential buildout potential of the existing sites inventory. Upon completion of this work, BAE will provide the CHC with an electronic database containing the collected information regarding the regional housing sites inventory. In lieu of completing this work as part of this initial needs assessment effort, this task may also be included as part of the Action Plan for completion during a future implementation phase.
Task 8: Housing Development Feasibility Analysis (Optional) In addition to preparing the housing funding/feasibility gap analysis under Task 6, BAE staff will be available to prepare detailed pro-forma financial feasibility models for desired housing types in order to better assess barriers to development feasibility. This would include interviews with local developers to identify detailed construction costs, including land acquisition costs, site preparation costs, hard and soft construction costs, and financing terms. BAE would then work with each jurisdiction to estimate governmental fees. BAE would leverage work completed under Task 3 to estimate market rate and affordable housing costs.
BAE would then calculate the relative feasibility of new construction and conduct sensitivity analysis to identify potential ways of improving the financial feasibility of new development, including potential updates to the development code, as well as innovative financing tools. In lieu of completing this work as part of this initial needs assessment effort, this task may also be included as part of the Action Plan for completion during a future implementation phase.
Task 9: Prepare Draft and Final Regional Housing Needs Assessment Report Concurrent with completion of Tasks 1-8, BAE will prepare a report that summarizes the data collected and identifies key findings and conclusions. BAE will provide an Administrative Draft 102
11 report to SMR Development for review. Upon receipt of comments, BAE will prepare a Review Draft report for circulation to the CHC. Upon receipt of one consolidated set of comments, prepared by SMR Development, BAE Will revised the Public Review Draft report and prepare a Final report for public distribution and presentation at a community workshop.
Phase II – Eastern Sierra Regional Housing Action Planning Process Per the requested scope of work, Phase II of this project will include preparation of a Regional Housing Action Plan. The following is a rough summary of BAE’s proposed approach.
Task 10: Facilitate a Regional Housing Action Planning Process Upon completion of the Phase I research, BAE will facilitate up to three workshops with the CHC to review key findings from the Phase I research and discuss potential policy and program options for both local and regional implementation over a five-year Action Plan timeframe:
Workshop #4 – Discuss the spectrum of potential policy and program solutions that would meet the needs identified through the Phase I research. Receive guidance regarding which approaches may warrant consideration.
Gain an understanding of what additional information the CHC members may need in order to build consensus around solutions.
Workshop #5 – Report back on the additional information that was requested by the CHC and receive additional guidance regarding which approaches may warrant inclusion in the draft Action Plan. Identify which solutions can be implemented right away, versus those that require additional research and preparation prior to implementation. Begin to assign roles and responsibilities and to discuss potential funding sources.
Workshop #6 – Present the Review Draft Regional Housing Action Plan to the CHC and receive comments on the draft. Confirm that consensus of members.
Receive public commitments to pursue near-term implementation.
Task 11: Prepare the Eastern Sierra Housing Action Plan In preparation for the fourth CHC community workshop, BAE will prepare a slide deck summarizing the array of potential policy and program options that may warrant inclusion in the Regional Housing Action Plan. Upon receipt of comments from the CHC, BAE will conduct additional research and will refine the list of potential policy options. Upon completion of the fifth CHC community workshop, BAE will begin preparation of an Administrative Draft Regional Housing Action Plan for review by SMR Development. Upon receipt of comments from SMR Development, BAE will prepare a Review Draft Regional Housing Action Plan for review by the CHC and for presentation at a sixth community workshop. Upon receipt of one consolidated set of comments from the CHC, prepared by SMR Development, BAE will prepare a Final Regional Housing Action Plan document for public distribution and implementation by the CHC. 103
12 PROPOSED PROJECT TIMELINE
BAE proposes to complete the above scope of work over a work period of approximately 36 weeks (around nine months). For details, please refer to Table 1 on the following page.
We anticipate that the initial demographic and economic trends analysis will take roughly six to eight weeks to complete, which would position the project team to report on the research conducted to date at the first of the CHC workshops. At that time the consultant team and the CHC would announce the launch of the employer and employee survey effort, which will include approximately two weeks of prep time along with six to eight weeks for survey administration. The housing needs estimation and forecasting effort would start concurrently with the background demographic and economic research, but will not be completed until after the survey results are tabulated. From the time that BAE initiates the background materials review and demographic/economic research, we will also be preparing draft report materials, such that we can provide the initial Administrative Draft of the Phase I report for review SMR Development shortly after completing the survey tabulation and the third CHC community workshop.
The timeline for the Phase II action planning process is intentionally short at approximately 16 weeks (around four months). This will help ensure that the project team and the CHC are able to maintain the level of engagement needed for a successful process. The proposed timeline assumes that the first action planning workshop would be held roughly 4-5 weeks following delivery of the final Phase I report. BAE is committed to maintaining an ongoing inventory of potential policy and program options from the start of the project, which will facilitate this quick turnaround. BAE then proposes to hold CHC action planning workshops every 4-5 weeks thereafter until the consultant team has received input sufficient to prepare the Administrative Draft Eastern Sierra Housing Action Plan for review by SMR Development. 104

From: Ana Budnyk
Subject: Discussion Regarding the Formation of Parking Technical Advisory Committee (PTAC) for City of Bishop Parking Demand and Land Use Study.
STAFF REPORT
Background/History:
In 2023, the City of Bishop City Council approved city staff to assess existing parking usage, propose parking management strategies, and explore potential development opportunities for residential and city facility expansion.
To achieve these goals, the City of Bishop hired an interdisciplinary team led by Wood Rodgers. This team was tasked with:
Evaluating the current parking inventory.
Identifying parking capacity across three seasons (January, April, and July).
Analyzing land use and parking utilization within the Downtown Mixed-Use Zone.
Identifying opportunities and constraints.
Community Engagement, included but not limited working with Technical Advisory Committee.
Presenting findings to the public.
At this stage in the process, the Parking Counts have been completed for 3 seasons of the year with selected dates in January, April, and July.
Analysis/Discussion:
The formation of a Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) is essential at this stage of the study. With data collection completed, the TAC will focus on analyzing opportunities and constraints while providing input on the study’s progress.
Purpose of the PTAC:
The Committee's role is to provide overall guidance and direction for the study, offer recommendations for improving downtown parking management, and identify opportunities for the development of public land.
Ensure meaningful community engagement, and provide feedback on survey questions, results, and distribution.
