What has NOT changed: Infrastructure
CHIEF CORY MORGAN
Parking is the Root Driver for QOL Issues
• Stadium is surrounded by public streets without residential parking restrictions • Screening practice when stadium first opened
• Unrestricted on-street parking drives spillover and secondary complaints:
• Littering
• Public urination
• Public intoxication
• Congestion / driveway blocking or other unlawful parking • Most effective action City Council or residents could take: Residential parking restrictions (RPP) for residents + guests

Noise Complaints 2021-2025
• Trends
• Concerts – Not NFL games
• Tasman / Lick Mill
• Code Enforcement
• Administrative code
What We Need from this Committee
• The most effective solutions require policy authority from the City Council • Consider Residential Parking Permit (RPP) program near the stadium • Most stadiums have significantly different parking pictures – RPP will change event flow • Strong desire for City-wide restriction on RV parking on the streets • Police recommendation: This Subcommittee give rolling recommendations to City Council to make changes as necessary.
