Home My WebLink AboutItem A: Downtown Parking ECC UGENE ITY OUNCIL AIS GENDA TEM UMMARY Work Session: Downtown Parking Meeting Date: October 29, 2008 Agenda Item Number: A Department: Planning and Development Staff Contact: Jeff Petry www.eugene-or.gov Contact Telephone Number: 541-682-5079 ISSUE STATEMENT The City Council has requested a work session on downtown parking. General background on the following topics will be presented to start the discussion: (1) General information on the parking system (private and public); (2) The City’s downtown Parking Program, including its relationship to development activity and financial detail, and (3) Parking programs in comparable communities. BACKGROUND (1) General Information on the Parking System Parking management is both a privately and publicly provided service in our community. The City of Eugene’s Parking Services program manages parking garages, meters, time-zones (e.g. 2-hour parking), monthly permits, residential parking permits, parking code enforcement, and Municipal Court adjudication. These services are also provided by the University of Oregon, Sacred Heart Hospital, Lane County, Diamond Parking Services, and many private businesses and property owners. The City of Eugene regulated parking system encompasses nearly 7,000 parking spaces over four square miles, with 2,600 structured parking spaces, 550 surface lot parking spaces, 1,700 metered on-street spaces, and 2,100 time-limited on-street spaces. Short-term or daily parking is provided on- and off- street at $0.75/hour in downtown (up to $3.50 per day) and $1.00/hour in the campus district (up to $5.00 per day). In the downtown core, there is a “First Hour Free” and business “Parking Validation Program” in the Overpark and Parcade, which are the two largest downtown garages (see attachment A). There is also a Saturday free program in all of the parking garages downtown. Longer term parking is provided through monthly permits (20,000 per year) and many residential parking programs. Other services include 24-hour downtown garage security, event parking, discounted parking for carpool and rideshare commuters, and commercial space leasing in three downtown City garages. Municipal Court adjudicates parking citations, with less than 4% of all citations contested and less than a 1% dismissal rate. (2) City of Eugene’s Downtown Parking Program Downtown has had a regulated parking system since 1939, with the installation of 145 on-street parking meters that were enforced by the Police Department. In 1973, the City implemented an unlimited customer free-parking program funded through a Downtown Development District tax on businesses and property owners, which was later limited to three hours of free customer parking in 1989. In 1992, Z:\CMO\2008 Council Agendas\M081029\S081029A.doc with the passage of Ballot Measure 5, the City returned to a customer-paid parking system, with free parking on weekends in garages, first hour free in two garages, and a parking validation program provided by downtown businesses. Currently there are 15,000 parking spaces in downtown Eugene, of which the City of Eugene manages 3,150 off-street spaces and 1,000 on-street metered/signed spaces, or 28% of all downtown parking. The remaining parking spaces are privately owned and managed. The purpose and mission of the Eugene Parking program is to supply, allocate and manage, adequate, safe parking to meet the parking needs of the business and residential communities in a manner that supports transportation system needs, growth management policies and goals, and City Council and community goals. Parking is a development tool that integrates with the vision of an active and vibrant downtown. New and existing public parking can be used to support desired private and public development. Appropriately managed parking encourages downtown business and cultural activities, and creates a positive experience and perception of downtown. A strategic approach to parking management requires a balance of competing priorities. Parking must be perceived to be easily located and available. At the same time, businesses require frequent turnover, especially of key locations, such as on-street spaces. Management strategies include fine-tuning of factors such as type and location of parking, hours of enforcement, rates, and signage. The City of Eugene has designed a downtown that promotes compact urban growth and a pedestrian orientation through policies, finances, and physical design. Zoning requirements encourage lot line to lot line developments with no on-site parking requirements (the City’s Parking Exempt Zone was created in 1948). By not requiring on-site parking, development must use parking structures to meet employee and customer demands, as well as encourage use of alternative modes of travel (bikes, bus, carpool, or walk). Physically, our downtown streets are narrow with parallel parking in most cases, including parking bays, which promote a more pedestrian friendly environment. Additionally, bike lanes and bus lanes have removed on-street parking spaces. Our physical design limits the available supply of on-street parking, further encouraging use of off-street parking locations. The majority of off-street public parking in Eugene is in structured parking, as the City has developed th most of its surface lots. The downtown Library, WestTown on 8, LTD Downtown Station, Broadway Place development, The Tate, and the US Bank building are examples of public surface parking lots that have been converted to a higher and better use development. While parking management is a tool to support downtown development, downtown parking also has a financial role in the City’s fiscal strategy. Downtown parking is financially designed to support the General Fund, directly and indirectly. The Parking Enterprise Fund operates a $4.7 million budget, with half the budget directly or indirectly supporting common General Fund activities. The Parking Fund contributes 12% of its resources to the General Fund each year (FY08 = $585,100) and pays General Obligation debt service ($678,000) that is backed by the General Fund. Additionally, the Parking Enterprise Fund fully supports programs that are traditionally maintained in the General Fund, Road Fund, or Urban Renewal Funds. Examples of programs that indirectly benefit the General Fund are parking structure maintenance ($980,000), Municipal Court – Parking Services staff ($400,000), and enforcing community complaints on abandoned/stored vehicles in the public right of way ($75,000). Z:\CMO\2008 Council Agendas\M081029\S081029A.doc (3) Parking Programs in Other Communities A survey of parking programs in other communities is included in this packet as Attachment D. The community criteria selection focused on similar sized communities that have two distinct parking areas, with a downtown and campus or capitol parking district. RELATED CITY POLICIES City Council Goal: Downtown Initiative City Council Values: Sustainable Development; Fair, Stable and Adequate Financial Resources Eugene City Code 9.6410 (4) - Downtown Parking Exempt Zone Uses within the parking exempt area are not subject to the requirements of EC 9.6410(3), which specifies the minimum number of parking spaces by use category (i.e. no on-site parking requirements for downtown uses).

What are the budget details of the City of Eugene’s parking program? Please see Attachment C that contains Parking Services Enterprise Fund financial information. 2.What are other places doing? Where does it work well? Please see Attachment D that contains parking program information from other communities. 3.What do the commercial business owners think of our parking system? Please see Attachment E that contains feedback from the downtown business community. 4.How does Vancouver, WA’s program work that has meters that provide 20 minutes of free parking? Please see Attachment F that contains information meters that provide 20 minutes of free parking. 5.What would the impact of free downtown parking be to Diamond Parking Services? Diamond Parking Services is a private business that manages its own parking lot properties and provides parking management services (permits, enforcement, maintenance) for downtown property owners. This question will be addressed at the work session. Attachment A shows all downtown parking locations. 6.Can we put better signage around showing where there's free parking? Yes, investment in signage and parking information is built into the current parking forecast. This question will be further addressed at the work session. 7.Is there a card system you can use that will allow you to pay for just the amount of time you stay in the space? On-Street Parking –It is possible to pay for just the amount of time you stay at an on-street parking space, but the system is very expensive (San Francisco has this system). It requires embedding a magnetic sensor in the parking space surface that recognizes when a vehicle is parked. The sensor wirelessly transmits data to a database to track parking, as well as payment of the space. This same information is relayed to parking enforcement. Off-Street Parking – With investment in new equipment, we could further refine the parking payment increment. Currently, our increments are 20 minutes ($0.25) in the garages and surface lots.

The Parking Services program has met with the downtown business community twice this year: (1) Parking Conversation with Downtown Business Owners October 15, 2008 ó Evite invitation to over 190 persons through Chamber of Commerce. ó DEI Guides distributed flyers to downtown businesses. ó 15 people were present at the downtown meeting ó 7 people emailed comments ó 5 people commented on the Evite website. ó The goal of the meeting was to listen to downtown businesses. Two questions were asked: (1) What do business owners think of our current downtown parking system? (2) How would you feel about eliminating downtown meters? The detailed feedback follows, but the high-level common themes we heard were: There’s a lack of information/understanding of the parking plan. We need more on street space in downtown. Free parking may create more employee abuse issues. Meters provide a perceived obstacle to coming downtown. Detail Feedback: Will try to attend. I think facts and figures could move the discussion ahead. How many downtown metered spaces are there? How many garage spaces? How much money do metered / garage spaces generate from downtown parking? What is this money used for? Also any changes should be accompanied by a public awareness campaign. I am all for elimination of the parking meters in the downtown area. I would still like to see a time limit of 2 to 4 hours. Insufficient affordable parking to support downtown business. The general consensus was that it would be acceptable if not more attractive to enhance downtown patronage and parking. However, there was a concern about how much revenue would be given up. It is assumed some continued monitoring of street parking would still occur. Without the meter revenue what would pay for the monitoring? Pulling the funding from other sources would not be deemed acceptable. Parking is the # 1 complaint we get here at our business. At least 2-3 times every day, we hear our customer’s frustration over the cost to park, and the lack of spaces available to park, in the downtown area. Given the current economic climate, you surely know that we don't want to give our customers ANY reason to avoid our downtown businesses. I'm glad to know that there is still time to send input regarding this topic. Please feel free to share our comments with anyone who's interested, and definitely cast our vote for "no paid parking in the downtown core"! Free parking on evenings and weekends would be great...too bad during the reconstruct of West Broadway that angle-in parking wasn't used to increase the number of available spaces downtown. Maybe something to consider for the future. Attachment E My vote is free parking in downtown garages on Saturday, Sunday, and evenings. The goal is to increase night life and weekend visitors to downtown. Our 'in a nutshell' thoughts on downtown parking are that there is no true problem with having meters or the number of spaces available. HOWEVER, Eugeneans use the issue of parking as a ready excuse to not use their downtown, and thus a problem is created. Any effort to change these negative views is welcome. I am a strong proponent for the elimination of parking meters in the downtown area; specifically near our school (between 7th and 8th on Willamette). I would even consider a combination of both the metered parking and free parking zones. There should be more meters towards the core of downtown (for small shops etc) but for the Hult Center and my business we really need to have free parking zones. Since our classes are an hour long and we want to give our students time to relax after class instead of rushing out the door. The same goes for the Hult Center since they hold shows which may go on for more than two hours. In addition, I request that we increase the security in the Parcade across the street from us. Safety is the number one issue that comes to mind when utilizing the Parcade; why not fix the security cameras or hire someone to patrol? Many customers complain of the downtown parking. I have directed many to the garage, but they don’t want to walk from there, or they are just popping in. Then they worry about their meters. So meanwhile they are not really shopping, but clock watching. Now having no time limit on the parking might also pose a problem, stay all day kind of thing. Some where there should be a happy medium. Perhaps 2hr parking, with no meter, gross violations being ticketed. We really need free parking downtown if we want to have shoppers down here! My customers remark on a daily basis how annoying and difficult it is to do business downtown because of the parking. And that’s with Free parking provided at our own lot! Can the city really be making much profit from the meters by the time you factor in maintenance of the meters, paying the meter readers, plus benefits, plus administrative costs, etc....? and it creates a very user - unfriendly atmosphere for downtown shoppers. Also, I would like to point out that both Santa Cruz, CA (where I used to work downtown) and Boulder, CO; cities with very similar demographics to Eugene have been through the same thing many times in the past 20 years. Talk to their downtown associations. They have flipped back and forth on paid/ free parking downtown. Every time the parking is paid, the shoppers leave. Free parking helps bring them back. And. they don't have panhandling! (They have past rules against it....) Both cities have much more vibrant, active, and populated downtowns than we do! (In spite of indoor malls in both places.) They have found ways to still have all segments of the population use the downtown core in a friendly, non combative way. There are still people playing music on every street corner, hanging out on benches, the teenagers hang around but don't beg, and they have free parking, and lots of shoppers, restaurant patrons, etc. Let’s get it together and stop letting downtown Eugene be a frightening place to go for half our population. Its here for ALL of us, not just the vocal minority. We are particularly impacted by the tour busses that park on Willamette for a McDonald Theatre Show. I really don’t have a solution to that one as there really is no Parking for the tour buses anywhere nearby, unless they were to use a parking lot perhaps by the library…but that isn’t a city lot is it. It's time for the city to address changes in parking, since obviously the citizens continue to see it as a problem. While the city uses parking as a revenue source, creating some Attachment E free areas could go a long way in creating some goodwill in the community. Corvallis seems to have a program of free and metered parking areas, perhaps you've already looked to see if there is some possibility for that here? If removing meters is going to mean that the city comes to the DT businesses for additional money, however, I will not be inclined to support that. The main thing I notice is that visitors feel anxious and rushed when they have parked in a meter. They might just poke in their head after having coffee across the street, but "can't stay - I'm on a meter - and last time they fined me!" And it is so embarrassing for the business owner, as if they have been made to pay because we've done our best to engage them. Often I here people say they drive by and IF they see a parking spot they'll come in. People still seem confused about the parking structure - where it is and when it's free. My family alone had numerous tickets over the years, often because we are doing a quick drop off and someone ends up asking us questions, or wanting to talk. But that doesn't bother me as much as how rushed my regular visitors seem due to the fine they might receive from lingering a bit too long. Growing up in Eugene, I remember the luxury of free parking, and how inviting it can be. I love going to smaller towns in Oregon where there (often more charming-sorry) downtowns don't require the hassle of digging for change and worrying about tickets. Small town hospitality. I always feel like I'm really welcome. Eugene feels too small still to warrant meters. Having free parking easily available downtown would feel like a big support to downtown businesses like mine. All the major shopping centers, like Oakway and Valley River Center have free parking. They encourage people to spend time, visit multiple store, and SPEND MONEY! The economic down turn is potentially devastating for our small businesses. I sincerely hope some progress can be made with this meeting. Sorry this is a bit rambling. This is a true love hate relationship with an inanimate object. If I need a spot to park for a few minutes, they help make sure there is available parking, when I forget I left my car at a meter it cost $12.00 (48 times the quarter it cost). If downtown street parking became “free one-hour parking” and was enforced during the posted hours it would be OK with my business. Two hours will make the customer feel that they do not have to be rushed to enjoy a one hour lunch period while downtown. Mark tires to enforce time limit. Increase parking fines to make up for lost revenue caused by free parking time. There is a handicap placard downtown employee who parks at the metered space in front of one of my businesses M-F, 8 hours a day, and 5 days a week. Please encourage/allow those employees who need handicapped parking to park in another location that would be closer to the door of their workplace and also free up valuable street parking. It discourages people from coming shopping downtown. Feels like our current parking system has a very negative impact on commercial activity in the downtown core. There is maybe no better way to punish people for shopping downtown than for them to come back to their car and find a parking ticket. Feel that parking meters serve as a deterrent for people to park for extended length of time that may or may not use services downtown. No complaints about meters. It’s expected. Some customers complain about meters but decline when offered a quarter to pay for it. Moxie 2-hour limit doesn’t allow access to full services and lunch. Attachment E People complain more about Diamond Parking tickets than City tickets. Diamond’s delay in processing payments is frustrating. Why does City use Diamond, other options? People (some are elderly) don’t want to walk 2 blocks to come and eat; not enough street parking. Diamond process is huge headache. Use different approach, service ethic, more competitive rates. The parking attendant should lean hard in your (customers) direction. When someone walks up to pay the meter when it’s just run out, the meter person should stop writing the ticket and watch people put money in meter. Why does Diamond enforce 24 hours, night doesn’t make sense. Diamond: I buy monthly pass for US Bank Lot and assume I’ll get a spot. But no spaces actually available. First come first serve. Parcade is not safe. Progressive enforcement – 1st swipe $3.00, 2nd swipe $12 – would be more reasonable. Maybe people wouldn’t be so mad. Parallel parking doesn’t give as many spaces as angled. Availability of on street parking too limited. Tried free parking before, taxed building space. Caused competition problem with spaces outside downtown where parking isn’t free. If we have variety of services downtown people will be willing to pay to park and come downtown. Validating parking seems to work. Upgrade/update meters for variety of ways to pay (cash/credit card/etc.). Need to encourage downtown; getting a parking ticket is discouraging. Favor time limited spaces of various lengths (15 min., 30 min. and 90 min.) What about increasing handicap spaces to get more diversity of people downtown? People discouraged by perception of a lack of parking. Allocate a certain number of spots to each business. Employees of businesses use spots and feed meters is a problem. Could collect employee license plate #’s and screen for them. The idea of having downtown be “Welcoming” is important. Fine (tickets) not proportionate to how late you are. The later you are the more it should cost. (There could be a system that has the person pay with a credit card and if the person is late they system automatically draws/charges the credit card). The current system makes people feel like criminals. 2-hour spots appropriate for middle of nowhere. Close to businesses want turnover that matches businesses. Color code or indicate length of time or valet model (employees known, visitors self select type or parking desired, give credit card or other payment method to valet. Like a Red Hat combo for vehicles.) I can’t recommend to customers to park in the garages. What happened to cameras? Need more enforcement. In the Broadway and Pearl lot, next to Ambrosia owned/managed by Diamond the time measured is shorter than the amount of money put in the meter. This is a business ethics problem. The machine also doesn’t work in the rain. Lived downtown for 10 years, pay $150 in tickets for meters in front of building. There is a disconnect between perception of parking and reality (public/city). Enforcement is important. Seems like current system just evolved. Would like to see parking business plan with goals and then for City to create system. Portland – Smart Park, buy downtown get stamp and don’t have to pay. Incentives would be good. Attachment E Bad experience with parking or getting a ticket can prevent future visits. Meter people are “piranhas”. Need to change meter “technology” Enforcement needed Bend system is easy to use, no glitches Corvallis advertising “Free Parking” in downtown. Downtown losing business to Oakway Balance revenue with public relations and enforcement. – Use revenue for helping downtown safety. Free parking is perception issue. Enforcement more “forgiving” could also help perception. Enforcement not stealthy; expectations for when meter people come around could be marked on the meter. Revenue stream focus is wrong path, could lead to “unfriendly” tactics. Parking spaces near Hult and Tae-kwon-do Studio need long as possible limits (over 1 hour). Improve safety in Parcade. Hult parking always seems to have safety guard walking around, but Parcade doesn’t. Eliminate meters – replace with signs indicating time constraints such as “90 minute limit.” Enforce as needed. Strongly support eliminating parking meters. Time restricted parking is much friendlier. Rely on the 30 minute meters to help spots close to my shop (Shaw-Med). Eliminating parking meters would (could) eliminate convenient parking for my patrons and hurt my business. Meters assure can park close and get in and out. Without meters people parking for long periods of time who may or not use downtown stores. Free competes with Diamond and others with pay to park spots that are used employees (by not shoppers). First ½ hour free could be good to keep downtown workers from taking street spots. Different business, different situation, different need – Park Blocks Problem, Bank, Title Co., LCOG, 2 attorney offices – lot of people need short term spots, but less than 25 spaces. Physical layout of building(s) means that we can’t keep eye on spaces. Variable meters don’t help. People “camp” and feed the meter all day no matter the cost. Tickets graduate from $12 to $30 is a big difference. Meters in the area run 10% fast. This creates a trust issue because things don’t work as they should. Inequity. Bike cabs popular at night. Could be used during the day. They run on tips only, no fee; not paying is a more positive feel. There are not enough spaces. 30 minute meters are too short – Free would be best with a time limit. Time limits good, maybe different in different areas. Tickets spoil downtown experience. Eliminate meters is the first way to encourage people to come downtown. I see people “camp” in spots and pay meters all day. Some 30 minute meters to meet various business needs and some 90 minute meters would be good. Each store owner could monitor and give out “tickets” to people who work downtown and just feed meters. Parking garages free. First hour Free would be good. Attachment E (2) Chamber of Commerce, Downtown Stakeholders - January 25, 2008 The meeting provided an overview of the City of Eugene’s downtown parking program, identification of core issues, and a general parking discussion. Topics identified are: Downtown private parking operators are a challenge. Don’t mind paying for on-street parking, but make the transaction process easier, such as Portland’s meters that take credit cards or pay by cell phone. Satisfaction with public parking program. Develop better communications, signs in structures, and market the public parking options as they are less expensive than the private sector. Attachment F Parking Meters providing 20 minutes free parking. Today’s digital parking meters provide many options, including the ability to offer a limited amount of free parking at the meter. A single space meter is what the traditional parking meter head on a post. Here is a summary of single space meters that provide 20 minutes of free parking in two nearby communities: Vancouver, WA Boise, ID Program Creation Year 19802001 OperationA button on the meter is A button on the meter is pressed pressed to provide 20 minutes to provide 20 minutes of free of free parking.
