Title
Discuss and consider approval of the first reading of an ordinance amending Section 126-354 of the City of New Braunfels Code of Ordinances to revise Parking by Permit Areas G and I.
Body
BACKGROUND / RATIONALE:
Council District: 5
City Council has directed staff to add portions of South Market Avenue and East Coll Street to a Parking by Permit area so that the parking restrictions are contiguous along these streets. The area consists of single-family homes and one city-owned property.
This amendment is to:
(1) move the property at 244 E. Coll Street, 276 E. Coll Street, 281 E. Coll Street, and 285 E. Coll Street from Area G to Area I;
(2) add the portion of the property at 320 E. Coll Street that is adjacent to 294 E. Coll Street past the curve in E. Coll Street to Area I;
(3) add 294 E. Coll Street to Area I;
(4) add the portion of the property at 311 Comal Avenue that faces E. Coll Street to Area I; and
(5) add the portion of the property at 285 E. Coll Street and the property at 294 Tolle Street that faces South Market Avenue to Area I.
The City of New Braunfels Code of Ordinances Section 126-354 specifies the parking by permit requirements. The requests received were for Parking by Permit between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. from May 1st through September 30th, which is consistent with the existing Parking by Permit ordinance.
The proposed designated parking by permit area additions are part of a contiguous residential area and match the schedule of existing parking by permit areas.
A public hearing on the applications shall be conducted by City Council. Notices of the public hearing were mailed to all persons listed on the petition as being an occupant of each of the single family homes and to any other persons who may not be listed in the petition but are shown on the latest tax roll as owning property within the designated permit area.
