H6. Res. 6110, 2 hour parking removalKALisPEii. Development Services Department 201 1st Avenue East Kalispell, MT 59901 Phone: (406) 758-7940 Fax: (406) 758-7739 www.kalispell.com/plannine REPORT TO: Doug Russell, City Manager FROM: Jarod Nygren, Development Services Director SUBJECT: Temporary Removal of 2-hour Parking Restrictions (Ordinance 1821) in Portions of Downtown Kalispell MEETING DATE: October 3, 2022 BACKGROUND: As part of the Charles Hotel and Eagles Lot mixed -use project there will be permit holders within both the Eagles Lot and Valley Bank lot temporarily displaced until such time the parking garage construction is complete. In an effort to minimize the displacement of those permit holders, the Parking Advisory Board is recommending removal of 2-hour parking restrictions in portions of the Downtown. Ordinance 1821 places 2-hour parking restriction on Second Street from First Avenue West to Second Avenue West and Fourth Street between First Avenue West and Second Avenue West, amongst other 2-hour parking restricted areas. Removal of the 2-hour parking restrictions will allow for employees currently utilizing the parking lots the option of parking on the aforementioned streets without having to rock and roll. This will result in an additional 38 long-term parking spaces downtown in close proximity to those parking lots being displaced. City 72-hour parking restriction regulating motor vehicles being parked for indefinite period will still apply. The temporary removal of parking restrictions would be reinstated by further Council action at the time the public parking garage is completed. RECOMMENDATION: The Parking Advisory Board is recommending that the Kalispell City Council approve Resolution 6110, a Resolution temporarily removing the 2-hour parking restriction on Second Street from First Avenue West to Second Avenue West and Fourth Street between First Avenue West and Second Avenue West, effective at such time permit holders are displaced due to construction on the 3rd and Main Lot and Eagles Lot. FISCAL EFFECTS: Elimination of the 2-hour parking restrictions in designated areas may result in a slight reduction in parking citations. ALTERNATIVES: Deny the request.
