The Community R Redevelopment Agency has prepared an RFP for consulting services
to study and prepare a downtown parking supply and management plan. The RFP is
expected to be released in early July 2008 and includes the analysis of existing parking
conditions, as well as future parking inventory and demand patterns. The total study
area is comprised of the downtown and uptown district (Palm Canyon Drive and Indian
Canyon Drive) and portions of Section 14 near the Convention Center.
Staff recommends adopting the Resolution continuing the suspension of two-hour time
limits on portions of Indian Canyon Drive and Belardo Road from Alejo Road to Ramon
Road, and downtown City-owned parking lots and parking structure until June 30, 2009.
The time limits on Indian Canyon Drive between Saturmino Road and Andreas Road,
which were reinstated in February 2007, shall remain in place. The enforcement of the
three-hour time limit in the Plaza Mercado parking lot also remains in place. Staff will
return with the results of the parking study when the study is completed and the
recommendations are prepared to receive direction from Council. That timeframe will
be before the expiration of this suspension period.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There will not be any additional financial impact to the City during the 2008-2009 year.
