File Number: 16-253 To a certain degree, the costs will be offset by increased enforcement of violation of the time restrictions and increased usage of the garage. As new development occurs and usage of the Downtown area intensifies, the City will also need to consider re -installing meters at on -street parking locations, generating additional revenues to support the system. Re -installing meters should be evaluated when the 85 percent occupancy threshold is reached. In the near-term, the City may need to consider parking -related costs as an investment in the success of Downtown San Leandro. To the extent that the parking system works efficiently, businesses will see more success and the City will realize increased sales tax revenue. A successful Downtown will also be desirable for major development and re -investment projects, which will in turn generate increased property tax for the City. As an assessment of the fiscal impacts and a full pro -forma of the DPMP will be included as part of the final DPMP, the draft Plan includes an initial assessment of these impacts that will be fully developed as part of the final report. Next Steps City staff and the consulting team anticipate revising the draft based on feedback received at the May 23rd Work Session and the final Downtown Parking Management Plan will be adopted by the end of July 2016. Consequently, proposed downtown parking improvement actions and projects identified in the Downtown Parking Management Plan could be programmed beginning in fall 2016. Applicable General Plan Policies 13.07 Parking Requirements: Establish parking requirements that contemplate the desire to promote public transit use, bicycling and walking. 18.03 Public Education: Increase public education on laws relating to parking, circulation, speed limits, right-of-way, pedestrian crossings and other aspects of transportation safety in the City. Action 19.01-A: Parking Reduction Provisions - Allow reduced parking requirements where specific conditions are met. These conditions should include transportation demand management measures, such as shuttle buses to BART and other destinations, carpooling and vanpooling programs, shared parking, provision of shared cars, and bicycle storage facilities. 19.03 Shared Parking: Promote the concept of parking areas which are "shared" by multiple uses with different peak demand periods as a means of reducing the total amount of parking which must be provided.
