EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On October 6, 2020, the City Council gave direction to bring back an ordinance to amend the municipal code to be able to waive the fees for preferential parking permits on a temporary basis if a neighborhood is located near a nuisance that is impacting parking.

The proposed ordinance allows the City Manager or a designee to waive the preferential parking permit fees if a nuisance exists within 500 feet of the petitioning neighborhood.
