AMENDMENT TO MUNICIPAL CODE CHANGING HOURS OF ENFORCEMENT FOR 15 MINUTE GREEN ZONES

Recommendation:

That the City Council introduce the attached ordinance removing the enforcement hours of 7:00am to 6:00pm.

Background:

The City Council, acting on a request from Councilmember Benz, directed staff to return with an ordinance amending the code to allow longer enforcement of the 15 minute green zones. During the discussion, it became clear that in certain areas it would be good to have some flexibility so, rather than setting specific hours, it was recommended that the hours of enforcement be posted on the signs. A provision already exists in the code to do this (10.32.260 - Time Limit Parking) with signing. The ordinance before you repeals the specific enforcement hours.

This would also allow us to convert 15 minute green zones not needed in the evening to regular parking. Staff will survey those areas and return with a specific recommendation about those areas once the ordinance is effective.
