G. Consider Introduction of Parking Ordinance, Waiving First Reading, Revising 10.26 of the Brisbane Municipal Code Concerning “Residential Parking Permit Program” City Engineer Breault reported that the current residential parking program has been codified since 1998, but with the program requiring citizens to obtain 70% concurrence from their neighbors it has never been successfully implemented. He added that the primary changes in the ordinance if adopted will do the following:
• Lower the percentage of residents required to request a designated permit area to “not less than a majority of the dwellings on each side of the street”
• Provide Council the authority to impose residential parking restrictions by resolution. • Provide structure for the implementation of the program, defines the vehicles impacted, and assigns oversight responsibilities to various city departments
After some questions, no public comment, and council discussion, Councilmember Davis made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Lentz, to introduce Parking Ordinance, Waiving First Reading, Revising 10.26 of the Brisbane Municipal Code Concerning “Residential Parking Permit Program”. The motion was carried unanimously by all present.
Ayes: Councilmembers Cunningham, Davis, Lentz, Mackin, and Mayor O’Connell Noes: None
