OaklandRedevelopmentAgencyAndCityCouncil | 2011-03-01 | Concurrent Meeting of the Oakland Meeting Minutes March 1, 2011 Redevelopment Agency / City Council A motion was made by Councilmember Schaaf, seconded by Councilmember Kaplan, that this matter be Adopted as Amended with the reduction of the number of meters in District #1 to 25%. CM Schaaf presented a proposed motion seconded by to: 1. Adopt the new meters identified in Altemative 2. 2. Reaffirm the Parking Principles adopted by the City Council in December 2009, and require that future new meter recommendations are more clearly aligned with these principles, including documentation of block occupancy rates during staff evaluations. 3. Direct staff to study differentiated pricing, including reduced pricing where consistent with our adopted principles, and return to Council- with recommendations. 4.. Direct staff to make a!i efforts to notify the public that these new meters will be installed, including, at minimum, providing posted notice on the affected streets that meters will be installed at least 14 days prior to installation. Briefly summarized are the major principles of this approach are as follows: Draft Parking Principles for City of OakJand Commercial Districts: - Parking is part of a multi-modal approach to developing neighborhood transportation infrastructure. - Users of corrimercial districts (shoppers, employees, visitors) have varied needs for access, via private auto, transit, bicycle and foot. - Curbside parking must be balanced with multiple complementar)' and competing needs, including but not limited to delivery vehicles, taxis, car share vehicles, bus stops, bicycle parking and sidewalk widening. Parking should be actively managed to maximize efficient use of a public resource. - Parking should be treated as an asset that helps bolster the economic vitality of neighborhood commercial areas - Parking should be managed to achieve an approximate 85% maximum occupancy per block so that there will always be some parking available to shoppers and visitors - Parking should be priced to achieve usage goals ("market pricing"); market prices may vary by area, by time of day and may be adjusted occasionally to reflect current use. - Pricing and policies should encourage use of off-street parking lots where they are available. - Parking should be easy for customers.
