A market-based approach to parking makes lots of sense, and I definitely am in favor of it. However, to only apply the pilot program to certain parcels on one side of the street is highly restrictive and puts an unfair restraint on other property owners in the same vicinity on the same side of the street. For example, we own a building at 6942-6994 Village Parkway plus the adjacent Casper's building at 6998 Village Parkway. When I rent a vacant space to a new potential tenant and that tenant goes to the City to determine whether or not his/her business will be approved for that location, parking is always a consideration for City approval. With this pilot program, I may have to comply with certain parking regulations that won't apply to the property owner(s) in your pilot area. You potentially are creating an unfair competitive environment. Because I'm not in your pilot area, I may not be able to rent to that business owner, while the property owner down the street, in the same zoning area, will be able to rent to that business owner. I believe I am just as capable of"regulating" parking in my building as any other property owner on the street. I believe if you are testing the market-based approach on only one side of the street, it should apply to ALL property owners on that side of the street. I urge you to reconsider the size of your pilot area. Sincerely, Ellie Lange 828-6905 office/548-1446 cell P.S.

The City Council directed Staff to proceed with preparing an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance to temporarily suspend the parking standards in a portion of the Village Parkway District for a limited term of three years; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a properly noticed public hearing on the Zoning Ordinance Amendments on July 24, 2012 and adopted Resolution 12-xx recommending that the City Council adopt an Ordinance approving a Zoning Ordinance Amendment to Chapter 8.76 (Off-Street Parking and Loading) related to the Village Parkway Pilot Parking Program; and WHEREAS, a properly noticed public hearing was held by the City Council on , 2012; and WHEREAS, pursuant to section 8.120.050.B of the Dublin Municipal Code, the City Council finds that the Zoning Ordinance Amendments are consistent with the Dublin General Plan and the Downtown Dublin Specific Plan; and WHEREAS, the City Council did hear and use its independent judgment and consider all said reports, recommendations and testimony hereinabove set forth.

The adoption of this Ordinance is exempt from CEQA because the Ordinance does not, in itself, allow the construction of any building or structure, but it sets forth the parking regulations that shall be followed if and when a building or structure is occupied by a user. This Ordinance of itself, therefore, has no potential for resulting in significant physical change in the environment, directly or ultimately. SECTION 2.

All other text in Section 8.76.080.D, and all other text in the remainder of Chapter 8.76, remains unchanged. SECTION 3. Three years and thirty days following the adoption of this Ordinance, the first paragraph of Section 8.76.080.D (Parking Requirements by Use Type — Commercial) of the Dublin Municipal Code is hereby amended to read as follows: D.
