Item Summary:
In February 2015, the City Commission adopted an Ordinance implementing a Construction Parking and
Traffic Management Plan intended to mitigate the impact of construction employee vehicles parking for
extended periods of time and usurping parking availability all day. Ordinance requires construction projects
with a value over$250,000 to submit a parking plan for their construction workers and establishes fines and
fees associated with the program. Under the current ordinance,the following alternatives are available to the
Contractor:
• Parking within the construction site in which case contractors must identify the number of spaces
that can be accommodated within the construction site while meeting the dimension requirements
for each parking space
• Entering into agreements with private parking operators to provide parking spaces for their
employees
• Identifying a parking area for their employees outside the City limits and provide transportation for
their employees to/from the job site
In cases where a contractor enters into transportation or private parking agreements, copies of such
agreements must be provided as part of their Parking Plan. Construction projects approved prior to July
2015 are not required to provide a parking plan. Current parking management plan allows for workers to
drive to the City and park either at the construction site or at a private parking facility which contributes to
vehicular trips and traffic congestion in the City. While the existing plans have been helpful in limiting
construction workers parking in neighborhoods and adversely affecting parking availability for other
purposes,there are additional opportunities to reduce traffic in the City by expanding this initiative to include
Construction Transportation Plan requirements.
At the May 13, 2016 Neighborhood/Community Affair Committee (NCAC) meeting, staff proposed an
amendment to the existing ordinance for consideration by the Committee. Staff proposed that for large
construction projects over$250,000,the City should require contractors to provide parking for their workers
outside City limits and provide transportation/shuttle service to the job site as a preferred alternative to
parking on-site.The plan must allow for limited parking for construction supervisors who may need to travel
to and from the site throughout the day. It is recommended that the City Commission accept the
recommendation of the NCAC to expand the construction parking plan requirements to construction
transportation plan requirements. Should the City Commission accept the recommendation from the NCAC
the Administration will commence the process of amending the existing ordinance.
