In <br /> February 2006,the Council adopted an ordinance that established guidelines for a new In-lieu <br /> Parking Fee Program. In April 2006,the City Council adopted a resolution establishing the in-lieu <br /> parking fee of$10,000 per parking space.These two actions offered developers a voluntary option <br /> 0 to pay in-lieu parking fees for developments within the Downtown Parking Zone. <br /> Section 30.3 of the Zoning Code titled In-Lieu Parking Fee outlines conditions under which the <br /> program is currently administered. A developer has the option to pay in-lieu fees for not providing <br /> the number of parking spaces required by the City codes, if approved by the Zoning Administrator. <br /> The program guidelines have not changed since its inception. <br /> Current Guidelines <br /> ViiliWi 0 <br /> The current program, applicable only to the parcels within the Downtown Parking Zone, has worked <br /> well under the following parameters, as outlined in Section 30.3. <br /> • A developer may opt to pay for as little as one space and up to 100 percent of spaces <br /> required by the zoning code. <br /> • The in-lieu fee is set by the City Council and the current fee is$10,000 per space as <br /> ikan established by a City Council resolution in April 2006.The fee has not been revised since <br /> 2006. <br /> • An approval from the Zoning Administrator is required to pay in-lieu fees for each space <br /> short of the zoning code requirements. A developer must demonstrate to the satisfaction <br /> of the Zoning Administrator that at least one of the five conditions identified in Section 30.3 <br /> is met.These conditions include challenging site configurations, likely negative impact on <br /> pedestrians, lack of need for on-site parking, opportunities for walking from off-site parking <br /> + ift• facilities and adequacy of available parking in the immediate vicinity of the development <br /> site. <br /> • If approved by the Zoning Administrator, a developer must pay the in-lieu fee prior to the <br /> issuance of a building permit or within 45 days of a request by the City, if a building permit <br /> is not required. <br /> • Payment of this fee does not offer <br /> any rights of privileges to the <br /> developer.All decisions pertaining <br /> to the use of collected fees are at <br /> the sole discretion of the City. , ti z �1 _ <br /> 4.- .
