respectfully requests amendment to the Public Parking Ordinance 9-4-20. The current Unlawful

designated City owned parking lots. Downtown is currently defined in City Ordinance 9-5-2 as the
area within the City of Idaho Falls, Idaho, located east of and including Memorial Drive, south of and
including "G" Street, west of Yellowstone Avenue, and north of Broadway Avenue. Within the last few
years residents have sought a downtown parking permit for newly built residential properties on the
south side of Broadway Ave. By ordinance these permits cannot be approved. Therefore it is

designated City owned parking lots to include those residents north of Cliff Street, and east of Capital
Avenue leaving all other boundaries as previously defined.
