HomeMy WebLinkAbout05 - Parking Lot FeesFebruary 22, 2000 Council Agenda Item No. 5 To: Mayor and Members of the City Council From: Timothy Riley, Fire and Marine Chief 14 Subject: Revised Parking Lot Fees for Balboa Pier and Corona Del Mar Parking Lots RECOMMENDATION If desired, rescind Resolution No. 92 -105 and adopt Resolution No. 2000- , amending the City Fee Schedule for parking lot fees at the Balboa Pier and Corona Del Mar Parking Lots. BACKGROUND In April 1999, the Fire and Marine Department prepared a recommendation and resolution to adjust the fees at both the Balboa Pier and Corona Del Mar Parking Lots. This item was continued by the City Council pending the result of the Balboa Peninsula Parking Management Plan. That plan was completed and submitted to the City Council in a study session on September 13, 1999. At that time, the City Council requested that the Promote Revitalization of Our Peninsula Committee (PROP) review the options, recommend which options should be implemented, and which options should have priority. PROP discussed the management report and reviewed staff recommendations for implementation. Those options and directions to staff were the subject of a staff report that came to the City Council on February 8, 2000. At that time, the City Council approved Option 9, implement a bus layover area, and Option 16, develop a pier lot validation program. Neither one of those options will be impacted by a revision of the parking lot fees. A recent survey of the majority of the municipal parking facilities in our areas, specifically Huntington Beach City, Huntington Beach State, Crystal Cove and John Wayne Airport, indicates all have a single year -round rate, which is essentially the same as our summer fee. Leaving the summer fee the same year -round will do a number of things. It will eliminate public confusion as to what the fees are from summer to winter. It will update our fees, which have not been changed since 1992. It will bring us into conformity with the majority of the other municipal and private parking facilities in our area. It will have a projected revenue increase of between $40,000 and $50,000 a year.
