Rule amendment. However, City staff will address the concerns of all individuals who submitted comments not directly related to the two-year permit option. A summary of comments submitted opposing the two-year permit option, and other comments expressing concern with certain aspects the two-year permit option, are set out below, followed by my responses: Comments Re: Permit Holders Retaining Permits after Move: -The long permit period might exacerbate the existing problem of some permit holders moving but continuing to use the permits to get prime parking spaces near the University, thus limiting the availability of parking for long term residents. -Permits should be relinquished when permit holders move out of the zoned neighborhood. Response. To be eligible for a two-year permit, a person must be a homeowner or person who can verify that they have rented the same dwelling for more than four years. This eligibility requirement should eliminate most instances where people purchase permits for a longer period of time than they are residents in the neighborhood. Although these Rules provide for revocation of a permit when a permittee is in violation of condition(s) of the permit, enforcing permit revocation due to a permit holder's move would be a difficult task in most cases because the City isn't able to monitor relocations. If the City becomes aware that a permit holder has moved out of the zoned neighborhood, and has knowledge of the permit holder's new address, the City will provide notice of permit revocation as provided in these Rules. Comments Re: Online and Digital Renewal: -Online renewal option would be helpful rather than having to pick up the permits. •A digital process that would allow persons to send digital copies of proof of residency and homeownership, etc., would be an added convenience. Response: The City is working toward providing an online renewal system. However, at this point, the City doesn't have all of the technology necessary to do so. In the meantime, the City offers two-hour validated parking in the Overpark Garage that can be used to defray the cost of parking when picking up a permit. The City is also working on implementing paperless permits which would use a camera scanning system to detect permitted license plates, rather than stickers. Comments Re: Shortage of ParkinfZ: -Two year permits should not be issued for 13th Avenue because there is a shortage of parking and that would add to the problem. -Two-year permit option likely to increase the number of "Commuter Y' permits.
