Ordinance 911 and Bill 1014
Dear City Clerk Blair:
We would like to submit the attached comments to the City Council when they review bill 1014.
Please let me know if you require a different format or clarification.
Thank you for your assistance.
As owners of the Shelbourne Apartments at 570 S. 2nd W., we would like to provide our input on the suggested new parking regulations contained in bill 1014. We base our input on the
following facts:
1. The majority of our tenants have jobs, some as far away as Idaho Falls and many are at night. A car is a necessity for them.
2. The current parking crisis in the university overlay is a direct result of past and current building codes allowing for less than 1:1 parking.
3. There is more than adequate capacity on the city streets surrounding student housing to allow for visitor parking with only minor modifications to the current permit parking regulations.
4. The city has a responsibility to ensure that visitors to the city, many who may not want to visit a particular apartment complex, can park on the city streets. Currently that is
not possible without a permit in the university overlay.
5. Asking property owners to increase the number of visitor parking spots in their private lots, while the city does not allow for such on the public thoroughfare, is unreasonable.
6. The fewer parking spots that a landlord can assign to students, the less likely a student who needs a car will go to that property. With vacancy rates expected to reach
20% for Fall 2014, this is a major cost to be asking of the private sector. As a family owned business every empty bed has a major impact on our ability to remain profitable.
Based on the above, we ask the City Council to do two things:
1. Remove the increased parking space requirement in bill 1014, keeping it at the current level, and
2. Modify the on street parking regulations to allow for 1 hour of visitor parking without requiring a permit. This is the fairest and easiest solution.
Thank you for your consideration,
Nick and Debra Marassi
