AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING A NEW CONSTRUCTION PARKING ORDINANCE

City Manager Gipson reported that over the past few years, the city has been experiencing unprecedented development, especially in the more congested areas of the city. Heightened levels of construction are expected to continue for at least the next few years. The associated road closures and temporary elimination of on-street parking are straining the available convenient parking for retail, restaurants, and commercial businesses. The current parking circumstances are not sufficient to accommodate the needs of residents, businesses, and visitors. Staff believes it is necessary to implement a new construction parking policy and enforcement ordinance to ensure that those responsible for construction activity provide adequate parking for construction employees.
