Due to recent questions, would like to approach this evening as more of a study session to receive Council feedback, unless Council is ready to accept. For consideration, additional ordinance language should create a process that is purposeful and not arbitrary. Suggested process within the code language should be defined as: Under special circumstances only Only bag within a 1,000-foot radius of the applicant’s property Only if they have been denied use of other parking facilities within 1000ft of their property Allows the Town Engineer and the Police Chief to confer and consider a complete application, and upon consultation with each other, either approve or deny based on public safety concerns only. Discussion – why bring this forward Due to a recent request to temporally remove the no-parking restrictions within the newly established Calle Concordia/Buena Vista area, staff has discovered that there are no provisions within the Town Code to override Council established traffic control measures. The practice of “bagging” No -Parking signs for the purpose of temporally removing parking restrictions has apparently been performed informally for over 20-years. This Ordinance request will revise the Town Code allowing the Town Engineer and Chief of Police the authority to temporarily suspend No-Parking restrictions on public streets under special circumstances. This Ordinance will also provide formalized criteria, defining a process for this temporary restriction removal, eliminating the appearance of arbitrary decision making. D.Under special circumstances, such as a special event, a landowner (or special event coordinator) may request that No-Parking signs and associated restrictions on public streets, within a 1,000-foot radius of their property, be temporarily suspended via “bagging”, subject to the following: 1.An application request is submitted to the Town Engineer that specifies: A.Date(s)/Time(s) of the special event, the anticipated attendance and number of vehicles anticipated requiring parking, and the capacity of their own facilities to accommodate said parking. B.Written proof that the landowner (or special event coordinator) has reached out to all private, governmental, or religious entities who themselves own parking facilities, within 1,000-feet of the subject property, and have been denied use of these facilities for the specified special event. C.The application will not be considered complete without all the afore mentioned information contained within. 2.The Town Engineer and the Police Chief will consider a completed application, and upon consultation with each other, either approve or deny based on public safety concerns. 3.If the application is approved, the Town Engineer will have the authority to “bag” the specified No-Parking signs, thus temporarily suspending the No-Parking restriction until the special event is over and the bags are removed. Suggested Code Language Subsequent Questions & Concerns Have received questions: Is there a definition for a Special Event – Yes, Town Code, Section 8-3-1.B.3 Is there an Appeal Process for the decision of the Town Engineer – Yes, Town Council Is there a public notification process – No, not within the suggested code language, but it could be added. For public notification, we could utilize the same process as used by the Extended Construction Hours Work Permit, TC Section 6-6-2.F. Applicability of requesting “Bagging” of signs: As identified within the code language – Under special circumstances, such as a special event. Special Circumstances is not limited to just code defined special events. It could also be used for major roadwork within a subdivision, an event at a public school that is not covered by code, an emergency situation such as a water main break or clearing drainage damage or multiple simultaneous events that need safe parking accommodations. Special Circumstances is defined as one-off events, not regular activities such as church services, that require parking accommodations on an adjacent public street that has parking restrictions.
