REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL FROM: JENNIFER K. CLARK, AICP, Director Planning and Development Department BY: MELISSA J. ALMAGUER, Parking Division Manager Planning and Development Department SUBJECT ..Title ***RESOLUTION - Adopting the 581st amendment to the Master Fee Schedule No. 80-420 to increase event parking fees under the Planning and Development Section (Subject to Mayor's Veto) ..Body RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Council approve the resolution increasing the maximum event parking rate from twenty-five dollars to fifty dollars. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Article 14 of the Fresno Municipal Code allows for the parking meter fees charged for on-street and off-street parking to be designated in the Master Fee Resolution. BACKGROUND On January 16, 2020, the 554th Amendment to the Master Fee Resolution was passed which set the maximum event parking rates charged for on-street and off-street parking at twenty-five dollars. Pursuant to the 2018 Amended and Restated Stadium Sublease Agreement concerning Chukchansi Park, the tenant, the owner of the Fresno Grizzlies, shall have the right to establish parking rates for designated City Spaces during Tenant Sponsored Events, as defined by the Sublease. The current Master Fee Resolution has the maximum allowable event parking rate set at twenty-five dollars which was consistent with event rates at the time of adoption. Since adoption non-baseball event parking rates have increased. Matching the non-baseball event parking rates will provide flexibility to the City and reduce parking impacts to surrounding businesses. ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS By the definition in California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines � 15378, this is not a "project." LOCAL PREFERENCE Local preference was not considered because this resolution does not include a bid or award of a construction or services contract. FISCAL IMPACT There is no increased cost to the City for this change. Attachments: Resolution
