Background: Wilson Street east of North Davis Ave is a narrow road that is unimproved in front of Pinnacle Component. There is not the width necessary to support both on-street parking and the truck traffic generated by businesses in the area. Analysis: This change to parking on North Davis Ave would help meet the needs of local businesses for better traffic flow and also help the Streets department in their efforts to maintain the gravel road, which is hindered by on-street parking. Financial Considerations: There is no direct financial cost to the City. Legal Considerations: Ordinance has been reviewed by City Attorney Blaine Finch. Approve as to form. Recommendation/Actions: It is recommended the City Commission deliberate approval of the updated parking ordinance amending Section 12-317 of Municipal Code for the following courses of action: • Take Final Action at the February 7th Regular Meeting: o “Approve the ordinance amending Section 12-317 of Municipal Code restricting parking on Wilson Street from North Davis Ave to the end of the road.” • Refer Item XI.A to the Wednesday, February 14th Regular Meeting for continued deliberation and consideration.
