DISCUSSION: On May 15th 2018, City Council approved Staff's recommendation to establish metered parking in the West 7th Urban Village. Parking meters were installed with a variable rate structure on August 29, 2018 in the West 7th Urban Village with hours of operation from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Since implementation, staff has continued to work with the West 7th stakeholders and are proposing a modification to the rate structure based on that feedback. The stakeholders support a new rate structure to encourage retail and customers coming into the area. This proposed rate structure will allow two hours of free parking daily, between 10:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., within a three-hour tiered rate structure. A $3.00 rate would be charged for the third hour if a patron stays beyond their allotted two hours of free parking and a $3.00 per hour rate between 5:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. Implementation of the new fee structure will be effective on December 13, 2019.
