COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: 12/17/2019
ITEM NO: 19
ADDENDUM
DATE: December 16, 2019
TO: Mayor and Town Council
FROM: Laurel Prevetti, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Receive the Comprehensive Downtown Parking Report – “Parking Roadmap”
and Provide Direction for Next Steps
DISCUSSION:
The following question was received from a Council Member:
Question: Did the parking consultant make a recommendation as to the number of parking
spaces to be used as parklets/removed from parking inventory?
Response: Indirectly, yes. The review was done to provide information for a potential
streetscape project where greater amounts of parking would be impacted. The parking
consultant looked at the impact of removing parking along Main Street from the Hwy 17 bridge
to Lyndon Avenue and along North Santa Cruz Avenue from Main Street to Highway 9. The
analysis was done by incrementally assuming parking would be removed from a block and
identifying where those vehicles could be accommodated off -street. The consultant’s analysis
shows that with removal of all of the on-street parking, parking occupancy reaches 85% or
greater in all lots. The parklet program as currently implemented would eliminate a fraction of
that amount of parking. Please note that staff has not yet reviewed this analysis and related
assumptions in detail, which is why it has not been included in the report.
In addition, the results from the second survey are provided as Attachment 3. This survey was
sent to gather input on recommendations and to alert residents of the upcoming topic at the
Town Council meeting.
Prior to 11:00 a.m. on Monday, December 16, 2019, the attached (Attachment 4) public
