Title
Maximum Parking Rates for Street Parking, Parking Meters, Lots and Garages (B)
Resolution establishing the Maximum Parking Rates for on Street Parking, Off Street Parking, Parking Meters, Parking Lots and Parking Garages in accordance with Division 2, Article III, Chapter 26 of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Gainesville, Florida; authorizing the City Manager to establish Rates up to the Maximum Rate; providing a Repealing Clause; and providing an Immediate Effective Date
Explanation
Simpler rate structure, time limits and types of available parking allows for more efficient curb management while increasing the availability of parking to better serve neighbors and businesses in adjacent areas. The Transportation and Mobility Department, in conjunction with the City Attorney’s office, will be bringing forth a draft ordinance with revisions to Ch. 26, Art. III, Division 2 at a future meeting to update and clarify the ordinances, allow the City Commission more flexibility to create categories of parking, and set actual rates by resolution.
