-Secretary Espiritu displayed the power point presentation on Zoom about the
Miller Avenue Garage Holiday Parking. There have been previous actions by
the Commission to offer some free parking downtown during the holidays,
typically tied to special events. Considerations for this year specifically include
the ongoing Shelter-In-Place orders which are aimed to prevent large
gatherings and parking downtown is needed to maintain availability of spaces
for the Outdoor Dining program, restaurant pick-up, and take-out needs for
restaurants to maintain regular turn over. Staff is recommending for this year
to offer free parking in the Miller Avenue garage for “Small Business
Weekends” to support local businesses the weekend of Saturday, December
19, 2020 and Saturday, December 26, 2020. This would be limited to only the
100 publicly accessible parking spaces on the first floor and not any of the
“permit-only” spaces on the upper levels. Commissioners stated that there is
a great need for the businesses to attract customers and this would help.
2.Resolution approving a waiver of parking fees in the Miller Avenue Garage in
support of small businesses during the holidays.
-Motion –Chairperson Malfatti / Second –Vice Chair Abarca – to approve
the resolution. Approved by voice vote (3-0-0).
ITEMS FROM THE COMMISSION
Commissioner Monzon noted concerns about the planter boxes obstructing the
sidewalk in front of the business at Maple and Grand Ave, not maintaining the
required 5 feet of pedestrian space on the sidewalk, and asked staff to review the
issue further with the business.
Chairperson Malfatti adjourned the meeting at 5:26 p.m.
Respectfully submitted.
