§ 19-435. Parking survey.

When the petition is complete, the Center City Development Office must obtain a parking survey that is conducted in the manner prescribed by the senior engineer and that covers the proposed residential permit parking zone. The parking survey must determine all information that the parking official or the senior engineer believes useful, but it must at a minimum determine the following:

(1)

The total number of legal curbside parking spaces in the proposed residential permit parking zone;

(2)

The number of legal curbside parking spaces regularly occupied by vehicles;

(3)

The number of curbside parking spaces regularly occupied by commuter vehicles;

(4)

The general hours of occupancy of curbside parking spaces by commuter vehicles;

(5)

The extent to which commuter parking materially impairs curbside parking near residents' homes by the residents themselves;

(6)

The existence of air and noise pollution, hazardous conditions, and deterioration of the residential environment as a result of traffic congestion and insufficient parking in the area;

(7)

The extent that the designation of a residential permit parking zone would reduce traffic congestion and any other problems identified in this section;

(8)

Whether designation as a residential permit parking zone would impede traffic mobility;

(9)

Whether the problems identified in the survey can reasonably be solved at no additional cost to the city through an alternative to a residential permit parking zone;

(10)

Whether at least sixty (60) percent of curbside spaces are occupied by vehicles, and of those vehicles whether at least twenty-five (25) percent are commuter vehicles; and

(11)

Any other traffic issue identified by the senior engineer.
