BACKGROUND: This report addresses a number of issues related to on and off street parking. First, changes are recommended to the Municipal Code section that defines parking rules and policies in the City's Downtown. Second, the City Council is asked to add penalties for violation of several new Municipal Code sections. The Council approved some increases to existing parking penalties in June 2007, and this action would add penalties for newly added Code sections. The mechanism to do this is to replace the schedule of parking penalties adopted in June 2007 3 -9 x File No.: Council Meeting: Disposition: FOR CITY CLERK ONLY / .. 10—A a) Passed Ordinance No. `1859 to rinl— "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE r CITY OF SAN RAFAEL REPEACJNG CHAPTER 5.80 (PARKING METERS) AND ENACTING A NEW CHAPTER 5.8D (PARKING REGULATIONS) OF THE SAN RAFAEL MUNICIPAL CODE" b)GPRENR71EDAND LAT P�RKINEIPAYMENT PENALTIES FOR N7— RESOLUTION OTICES ES OF PARKING NG A NEW E OF VIOL�PATTI�I JO]NSS, ANID RR7IEgSNCINDDING RESOLUTION NO. 12270 C) h�pRATESFD� METER�6 PAR23'KING SPACES LOCATED WITHIN THE DOWNTOWON ESTABLISHING ON STREET N KING PARKING ZO..NSSE((17l t d) R�RAND L'�ARGES A�D DESIGNATING THOSE OFUTION F -STREET FACILITIES ISHING OFF-STREET NRKING WHICH SUCH RATES AND CHARGES WILL APPLY, AND RESCINDING RESOLUTION NO. 1177d SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 2 with the new schedule including the new fees. Finally, the report also recommends adoption of increased on street parking meter rates and approval of a new fee schedule for off street parking fees. The City Council last adjusted parking rates on May 16, 2005. Since that time, costs of operation have increased and significant expenses are anticipated to replace aging equipment, perform structural assessments, acquire needed vehicles and complete needed repairs in parking facilities. Parking services are self-funded through fee and fine revenue. In order to meet these expenses, rate adjustments are recommended. In developing recommendations for fees and Municipal Code changes, community input was collected over several months. Parking Services staff hosted two merchant meetings and issued several hundred invitations. In addition, meetings were held with the Business Improvement District Board, Chamber of Commerce representatives, the Citizens Advisory Committee on Redevelopment, and individual meetings with interested businesses. Two study sessions were held with City Council on May 7 and May 21, 2007. At these study sessions, staff provided information on recent changes in parking operations, the parking budget, parking activity in the downtown, rates charged by other jurisdictions, anticipated upcoming projects and purchases, and opinions gathered from the community. ANALYSIS: MUNICIPAL CODE CHANGES It is recommended that Municipal Code Chapter 5.60, Parking Meters that deals with City parking be repealed and a new Chapter 5.60, Parking Regulations, be adopted. The existing Chapter 5.60 is largely parking meter specific. Until a few years ago, parking fees in City parking facilities not attended by a cashier were collected exclusively through payments made at parking meters. Approximately four years ago, the City began a transition from parking meters to parking revenue machines in off street parking facilities. In the future, it is possible that the City may choose to use parking revenue machines to collect parking fees in on street locations as well. The proposed language for Municipal Code section 5.60 would replace references to "parking meter" with the term "parking revenue machine." Other changes proposed for Chapter 5.60 include: Responsibility for off street parking signing, revenue equipment installation and maintenance would be transferred from the City Engineer to the Parking Services Manager. The Parking Services Manager has, in fact, been responsible for painting of curbs and posting signs in the City's parking garages for several years. The City Engineer continues to have responsibility for marking streets and painting curbs, posting signs, and delineating parking spaces on City streets. This proposed change to the Code would make the Code consistent with current City practice. It becomes a violation to park a vehicle overnight in City parking garages for more than one night without permission and empowers the Parking Services Manager to post no parking times in City parking lots (sections 5.60.053 (a) and (b). Some vehicle owners have used City parking lots and garages to store vehicles. The City's downtown parking facilities were developed to provide short-term and monthly parking. Parking facilities were not intended to be used as an inexpensive long-term vehicle storage sites. 0 Persons parking in City parking garages and then leaving after closure would be SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Pa2e: 3 required to pay for the parking they use. Each day, vehicles are parked in City parking garages during the afternoons and evenings, then removed when the garages close at 11:00 PM. Persons using the garages in this manner park in City garages without paying posted fees. A proposed Municipal Code section ((5.60.052 (c) (2)) would enable parking services staff to collect fees from these persons. Persons parking in City garages without the means to pay parking fees would be issued a "promise -to -pay." This IOU process ((section 5.60.052 (c) (1)) allows parking attendants to accept a promise -to -pay from persons that park in City garages and are unable to pay for the time they park. If payment is not made within a specified time, a late charge is added and the person is invoiced for the parking charges. If the person fails to pay in response to the invoice, a parking citation is issued. Future parking fee rates would be set by City Council resolution. Currently, on street parking fees are specified in the Municipal Code while off street parking rates are set by City Council resolution. New wording in Chapter 5.60 calls for both on and off street parking fees be established by City Council resolution. This will simplify the parking fee setting process and allow on and off street parking fees to be established though one City Council action. Acts such as driving through a parking garage gate arm, forcing the arm up, and driving over a curb to avoid exiting through a parking garage driveway would be citable offenses. On a daily basis, drivers circumvent parking revenue equipment in order to avoid payment of parking fees in City garages. This is done by driving over a curb to avoid the gate, by manually forcing the gate up, or by breaking off the gate. Such behavior results in losses to the City much greater than a few dollars in unpaid parking fees. Replacement or repair of a broken gate can cost hundreds of dollars and take an exit lane out of service for up to a day, causing delays for paying customers. Recovery of these costs is very difficult using criminal or civil remedies. Municipal Code section (5.60.052 (b)) would make such conduct a parking violation and an accompanying resolution would establish a $350.00 penalty for violation. A complete text of the proposed ordinance is attached. NEW PARKING PENALTIES New sections recommended for inclusion in the Municipal Code create the need for parking penalties that to enforce new regulations and restrictions. Penalties for non payment of parking fees or parking overnight in parking facilities is the same as the City's penalty for overtime parking. The penalty for driving through a parking garage gate or forcing the gate up to avoid payment of parking fees is higher due to the high costs incurred by the City to repair damage caused by such actions. Violation Description Proposed Penalty 5.60.052 (b) Circumventing or damaging parking revenue $350.00 equipment to avoid payment of parking fees 5.60.052 (c) (1) Failing to pay an IOU for parking fees after parking $ 30.00 in a parking facility without means to pay 5.60.052 (c) (2) Leaving a parking facility after closing hours without $ 30.00 paying for parking services received SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 4 5.60.053 (a) Parking in a gated parking garage overnight $ 30.00 5.60.053 (b) Parking in a City parking facility at times when no $ 30.00 parking has been designated in that facility The Schedule of Parking Penalties and Late Payment Penalties (including the above violations) is attached to the related Resolution. PARKING FEES Parking fee changes are recommended for several reasons: • The Parking Enterprise Fund must collect sufficient revenues to cover costs related to providing parking services, including staffing for parking facilities, parking garage financing, facility maintenance, and utility costs. In the past two years and in the coming years, expenses in these areas have risen. • The attached fee schedule provides existing and proposed parking fees and charges. In order to allow sufficient time for public noticing, waiting periods and implementation, new parking rates and fees would go into effect on October 1, 2007. • Fees currently charged in parking garages are unduly complicated. Parking staff heard from the community that a clearer and more constant rate schedule would be preferred. • Fees that do not round to quarters increase the cost of supporting parking machines and for collection and processing of revenues. • The difference between higher and lower demand parking is insufficient to affect customer usage patterns. Current on street parking meter rates in San Rafael are $0.65 per hour in lower demand areas and $0.80 per hour along 4th Street where parking demand is greatest. A review of parking fees in surrounding communities, which is attached to this report, shows that parking fees currently charged and proposed for San Rafael tend to be lower than rates charged in larger communities. Rates in San Rafael are higher than the $0.50 per hour charged in the smaller communities of San Anselmo and Mill Valley. A primary reason that rates are higher in larger cities is that metered on street parking revenue is used to subsidize the much higher cost of providing parking garages. It is recommended that metered parking in San Rafael be increased from $0.65 to $0.75; a rate that corresponds to the lower level rates charged on other communities that offer similar services. Establishment of on street parking fees through resolution is contingent on City Council's approval of the Municipal Code amendment described in this report that changes the Municipal Code so that on street parking meter rates are established by City Council resolution. It is for this reason that City Council is asked to approve two, separate rate resolutions: one for off- street parking and the other for on -street parking. Included in the off street parking rate resolution is a change in enforcement hours at two parking facilities. An analysis of parking demand showed that the highest peak in downtown parking occurs after 6:00 PM when parking restrictions and metering is no longer in force. This lack of evening parking controls was found to have a negative impact on some businesses that rely on customer turn over. As a result, it is recommended that parking fees be enforced until 8:00 PM at two off street parking locations: in the lot adjacent to Walgreen's Pharmacy at 3rd & Lootens and in the A Street garage extension at 3rd & B Streets. ADMINSTRATIVE ISSUES While no Council action is required, there are two upcoming administrative changes that were previously discussed with the Council in the May study sessions. First, an occupancy SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 5 assessment in the City's Downtown Parking Area revealed that metered parking spaces on Hetherton Street were rarely used. Conversely, unmetered parking spaces on Ritter Street, Lincoln Avenue, and Brooks Street between 2nd and Td Streets are heavily used but those areas lack meters. The Municipal Code empowers the City Engineer to place parking meters within the City's Parking District as needed to ensure parking turnover and access to the Downtown. Staff has begun meeting with business owners in advance of removing parking meters from Netherton Street and adding meters on Ritter Street, Lincoln Avenue, and Brooks Street on stretches adjoining 2nd Street. This action has been reviewed by the Transportation Coordinating Committee. Second, some City parking lots currently have mixed long and short term parking restrictions within the same lot. Customers are often unclear as to time restrictions in lots where some meters allow unlimited hours of parking and other meters allow only two hours of parking. There is also a lack of long term parking except in the area of the City's parking garages. For these reasons, two hour limit restrictions will be removed from parking lots at 5th & D, 5th & Lootens, the A Street Garage extension, and at 1412 2"d Street. FISCAL IMPACT: It is estimated that approval of these recommendations will result in approximately $165,000 in additional parking fee & citation revenue annually. The action will also result in a one-time cost of approximately $18,000 for new signs and parking meters.

B) New Parking Penalties 1) Direct staff to modify these recommendations; or, 2) Approve the resolution as recommended. C) On street and off street rate adjustments 1) Take no action, leaving fees at existing levels; 2) Direct staff to modify these recommendations; or, 3) Approve the resolution as recommended.
