In the event the transportation director determines that an emergency parking situation exists, the director may implement procedures for the establishment of a temporary city permit parking area. Such procedures shall, at a minimum, include:
A. Conducting an informal public meeting as soon as is practicable after the determination of the emergency situation. The purposes of the meeting are to allow the director an opportunity to announce to the public the director's determination of the emergency situation and of the details of the director's proposal regarding the establishment of a temporary city permit parking area and of temporary regulations pertaining thereto and to allow verbal public comment at said meeting and continuing written comment thereafter regarding said determination and proposals. The director shall give whatever informal notice of said meeting to the residents, business owners and property owners of the proposed temporary city parking permit area the director deems appropriate under the circumstances. Such notice may include the distribution of flyers throughout the said area. The formal notice requirements of section 12.64.050 of this chapter or its successor shall not apply to this informal meeting.
B. Following the informal meeting and receiving the comments from those in attendance, the director shall make whatever further review and modifications of the proposed temporary city parking permit area and proposed temporary regulations the director may deem appropriate or the director may abandon the proposal. If the director determines to proceed with the proposal after such further review, the director shall reduce such decision to writing in the form of a report that shall be filed with the city recorder and made available to any interested party upon request. Said report shall include:
1. Significant subjects and concerns raised at the informal meeting conducted;
2. Preliminary findings and conclusions justifying the implementation of the temporary city parking permit area and temporary regulations and a declaration of the emergency parking situation;
3. The boundaries of the temporary city parking permit area;
4. The parking regulations, including administrative provisions for issuing permits; and
5. An implementation schedule indicating when the temporary city parking permit area will become effective.
C. No such temporary city parking permit area or temporary regulations shall remain in effect for more than one hundred eighty (180) days.
D. No later than ninety (90) days following the effective date of implementing the temporary city parking permit area, the director shall put into place procedures for the possible designation of a regularly approved city parking permit area as provided in this chapter, to take the place of the temporary city parking permit area.
E. The director shall have discretion to make adjustments as the director may deem appropriate to the boundaries of the temporary city parking permit area and to the temporary parking regulations during the period that the temporary city parking permit area and temporary regulations are in effect. The director shall reduce such adjustments to writing in the form of amendments to the previously issued report, which amendments shall be filed with the city recorder and made available to any interested party upon request.
