Station Area Master Plan – Transportation Context
Page | 1-35
•
Encouraging residents to use their off-street parking spaces/garages for vehicle
parking, and not for other types of storage, by organizing neighborhood clean-
out days with free hauling service
•
Enforcing existing time limits along two-hour parking zones
•
Expanding the area of the two-hour parking zone south along Monterey Road to
ensure that the prime parking spaces are not used by employees or other long-
term parkers
•
Installing parking meters on downtown streets to encourage more turnover as
well as serve as enforcement for time limits. Money collected from the meters
could go into a parking benefit district.
•
Increasing or removing the parking time limits in the parking garage to
encourage long-term parking to be located there
•
Creating private-public partnerships to allow public parking in private lots during
weekday evenings, on weekends, and during special events
•
Working with property owners to improve the lighting and pavement conditions
of private parking lots
•
Working with private property owners and business to identify appropriate
locations for a unified valet parking system
•
Coordinating with businesses and designating appropriate dual valet and
accessible parking drop-off areas on public streets for businesses that offer these
services
•
Working with private property owners to bring non-conforming parking lots into
compliance with accessible parking spaces when lots redeveloped or building
permits are required for improvements
•
Improving parking wayfinding signage and installing signs (at facility entrances or
at gateways to the Downtown) that indicate the number of available spaces in
large public parking facilities
•
Reinstating an in-lieu fee for all types of new development or creating a parking
benefit district for all redevelopment within Downtown as a funding program for
future public parking facilities. Refer to Recommended Improvements Chapter of
this Plan.
•
Creating a Parking Benefits District (PBD) which would ensure all revenue
generated by parking meters, residential parking permits, or new development
