�� TITL� CITY PQLZCY Parking in the Boulevard 4/23/82 Background Statement: The current City Code prohibits any parking from occurring in the boulevard areas along streets in the City. Investigation has detexmined, however, that a Zarge number of instances exisfi where parking facilities have been constructed zn fihe boulevard and/or parking is occurring regular2y zn the boulevard ar�as. It appears that in the predominance of cases, the parking could have been placed at a location on the pxivate property which would have conformed wzth the Code regulations. Due to the fact that such work was not done thxough permit approval or knowledge by the City, it is vexy difficult to estabiish when the alteration to the boulevard occurred, when the parking �egan, or wh� did the alteration. Polzcy Statement: The boulevard area in the xight-of-way was never established for, nor intended to be used, as a parking area. The City Code has always specified parking requirements for the development of property so that adeauate off-street parking would be incorparated into the individual parcels as they developed. Individuals who have mistaken�y created parking in these boulevard areas should be notified of the problem, and corxect it within a reasonable time frame. Procedure Statement: In oxder to bring the existing situation of parking occurring in the boulevard areas back into compliance with the Code, the foilowing procedure is to be utilized: 1} The City sta�f shall do an investigation as soon as possible to establish an official listing of all existing baulevard parking areas. This should minimize future disputes concerning those conditions that exist at the time thzs policy is adopted in comparison to work that somehow would occur after the date such a list was prepared. 2) Bring any unusually hazardous driveways into conformance within 60 days. � 3) Contact the owners of the property adjacent to tiahere the parking is occurring an� inform them that this situation must be corrected before June 30, I984, The exception to this would be that if a street improvement should occur prior to the June 30, 1984, dead- line, that the parking would be corrected in conjunction with that improvement. {1uth�� Sectzon 87.0�45 of the City Code.
