COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: MODIFICATION OF PARKING REGULATIONS ALONG NORTH 2ND
STREET
BACKGROUND:
On August 19, 2014, City Council referred a letter from Wandling Engineering, located
at 923 North 2nd Street, requesting that Council approve the removal of the 90-minute
parking regulation in front of its business. In 1962, Ordinance No. 1027 established
time-limited parking during business hours, 8 AM to 5 PM, from North Oak Street east to
the east line of Lot 5, Block 4 of the College Park Subdivision (see attached map). It is
important to note that Cleveland Street was the original name for North 2nd Street.
In the Wandling letter, Office Manager Dodi Petersen outlined some of the history of the
businesses in the area. Specifically, the parking regulation was initially intended to
facilitate a shared parking relationship between Wandling Engineering and its neighbor,
Ellen's Ceramics. Since that time, Ellen's Ceramics has closed and the building has
been removed. There have also been significant changes to the availability of off-street
parking by the creation of new private parking lots.
For these reasons, the conditions warranting the 90-minute parking prohibition
appear to no longer exist. Due to the fact that no other business is affected by
this parking regulation other than Wandling Engineering, it seems appropriate to
remove the 90-minute parking restriction as requested.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Direct the City Attorney to draft an ordinance to remove the 90-minute parking
prohibition on North 2n Street.
2. Direct staff to keep the existing conditions.
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Changing the ordinance to allow parking on the north side of North 2nd Street will better
match the existing conditions. Due to the fact that no other business is affected by this
parking regulation other than Wandling Engineering, it seems appropriate to remove the
90-minute parking restriction as requested.
Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt
Alternative No. 1, thereby directing the City Attorney to draft an ordinance removing the
90-minute parking prohibition on North 2nd Street.
