ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 58-16-20-F <br />of the <br />City Manager <br />AMENDMENT OF THE RESIDENTIAL PERMIT PARKING ZONE <br />REGULATIONS ADMINISTRATIVE RULE R-5.040 AND REPEAL OF <br />ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 58-92-07. <br />The City Manager of the City of Eugene finds that: <br />A. Section 2.019 of the Eugene Code, 1971, ("EC") authorizes the City Manager to <br />adopt rules for administration of provisions of the Eugene Code. EC 5.040 authorizes the City <br />Manager or the Manager's designee to take administrative action establishing parking area time <br />limitations, including the form of permissible parking and imposing conditions upon which the <br />streets and other public property may be used for parking. <br />B. Administrative Order No. 58-92-07 established Residential Permit Parking Zone <br />Regulations Administrative Rule R-5.040 effective April 15, 1992. <br />C. On August 9, 2016, I issued Administrative Order No. 58-16-20, proposing to <br />amend Residential Permit Parking Zone Regulations Administrative Rule R-5.040 in order to <br />allow for residential parking permits to be issued to eligible homeowners and long term residents <br />for terms of up to two years, rather than only annually. Use of the two-year permit option will <br />provide convenience for the customer because it will allow for permit applications to be submitted <br />every two years rather than annually. Use of the two-year permit option will also result in lower <br />City administrative costs. <br />D. Notice of the proposed amendments was given by making copies of the Notice that <br />was attached as Exhibit A to Administrative Order No. 58-16-20, available to any person who had <br />requested such notice, and by publication of the Notice in the Register Guard Newspaper on <br />August, 17, 18, 19, 20, and 21, 2016..Copies of the Notice were also provided to the Mayor and <br />City Councilors. In addition, Parking Services gave notification of the proposed amendment and <br />opportunity to submit comments by sending e-mails to over 2,555 current permit customers, and <br />sending postcards to 3,916 addresses of owners and tenants in the following Neighborhood <br />Associations: Jefferson Westside, Fairmount Neighbors, Downtown Neighborhood, South <br />University, West University and Amazon Neighbors <br />E. Thirty-five comments were received in response to the proposed Rule amendment. <br />Twenty-five of the comments voiced support for the amendment. However, some of those who <br />were in support also expressed some concerns and addressed parking issues not specific to the <br />two-year permit option. Two comments submitted were in opposition to the amendment. The <br />remainder of the comments submitted addressed general parking issues rather than the proposed <br />two-year permit option and, therefore, those comments aren't being considered in relation to this <br />Administrative Order - Page 1 of 10 <br />
