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