BACKGROUND: Currently 208 on -street parking spaces function as residential -only parking spaces within the Entertainment District. The residential parking program began in 2010 and allows residents of the Entertainment District to park free of charge in certain designated spaces throughout the district. Upon providing proof of residency, a resident of the Entertainment District is eligible to obtain one (1) parking permit and two (2) guest passes not to exceed a total of four (4) permits and two (2) guest passes per residence. The residential parking area is divided into a North and South Zone within the Entertainment District, with Dickson Street serving as the dividing line. It should be noted that residential permits allow access to any of the zone's parking spaces that are designated as "residential parking" but do not allow for reserved parking in any one space. The 79 on -street spaces on Spring Street between West Avenue and Block Avenue and on School Avenue between Spring Street and Center Street operate in a "mixed-use" environment whereby parking is available to both the public for paid parking and to residents of the South Entertainment District Parking Zone for properly permitted vehicles free of charge. DISCUSSION: While several residential streets see high utilization for residential parking, others do not. Two residential -only street segments see particularly low utilization: Locust Avenue between Spring Street and Center Street, and Lafayette Street between Campbell Avenue to Forest Avenue. Mailing Address: 113 W. Mountain Street www.fayetteville-ar.gov Fayetteville, AR 72701 Recent counts show that the 22 spaces on Locust Avenue between Spring Street and Center Street average 21% utilization. These two blocks of Locust Avenue contain eight (8) residences, three (3) of which face different streets where residential parking is also available (Meadow St. and Spring St.). There are also three (3) businesses on this portion of Locust Avenue that would likely benefit from these spaces being available to non-residents. Recent counts of Lafayette Street's 57 residential spaces between Campbell Avenue and Forest Avenue show an average utilization of 35%. Many of the approximately 25 properties along Lafayette Street have off-street parking which likely leads to the low on -street utilization. Similarly to Locust Avenue, some properties near and along Lafayette Street now function as a business whose customers would benefit from the ability to park on -street in front of the business. Converting these spaces to mixed-use is also consistent with the Parking Master Plan's goals of increasing the available public parking supply. The recommendation from the Parking Master Plan calls for some of these spaces to be converted to free parking based on the low level of utilization at the time the counts were conducted for the study. However, staff feels that a mixed-use environment is more appropriate based on current utilization levels and feels that pricing these spaces is important to prevent long-term parking by non-residents. Staff also recommends converting the following paid -only street segments to mixed-use: Vandeventer Avenue between Lafayette Street and Maple Street Lafayette Street between West Avenue and Campbell Avenue Church Avenue between Dickson Street and Meadow Street Converting these paid parking spaces to mixed-use would result in an additional 59 spaces where residential permits are valid. BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT: Staff does not anticipate a budget impact. By converting residential -only spaces to mixed-use this proposal will result in the addition of 79 revenue -generating spaces. Because the residential permit program is free for residents, this increase is necessary to off -set the conversion of 59 paid -only spaces to mixed-use whereby a (free) residential permit would be valid. Staff can also manage these spaces with existing personnel and equipment.

Thanks Sloan Scroggin ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Allen <cisco737ka aol.com> Date: Jul 16, 2019 8:14 AM Subject: Lafayette Street Parking Proposal To: "Scroggin, Sloan" <ward3 post e,fayetteville-ar.gov> Cc: July 16, 2019 Dear Mr. Scroggin, I own one of the six condos at 305 W. Lafayette, located between Campbell and Rollston. Life was good when I purchase the condo in 2005. I could see Old Main; I never had any trouble finding a parking spot in front of my property; and the Hogs were competitive in the SEC West. Fast forward fourteen years - instead of Old Main's towers, I see two Sterling Apartment properties; I rarely find a parking spot on Lafayette that is less than a city block away from my front door; and the Hogs won zero SEC games last year! I have a couple of suggestions that might improve the parking situation in the Entertainment District - benefiting me and other property owners on W. Lafayette, as well as the City and visitors to the Entertainment District. Fortunately, the three parking spots in front of our condos are the most convenient to our property and to Dickson Street (the Entertainment District). Unfortunately, the three spots in front of our condos are the most convenient to Dickson Street (and, currently the most convenient Residential use parking to the residents/guests of The District Apartments). If the area in front of the District Apartments (West Street to Campbell on the south side of W. Lafayette AND West Street to Forrest on the north side of W. Lafayette) were to be re -designated mixed-use (as proposed), that should alleviate some of the parking issues (create more spaces and hopefully increase utilization). That would give the residents/guests of The District several parking spots nearer their apartments, while opening up many additional spaces to Entertainment District guests/employees. Density on W. Lafayette from Rollston to Forrest is significantly less than the density from Rollston to West Street. Additionally, there are considerably more parking spaces/residents available in this less dense area. Therefore, it is the most under-utilized parking area on W. Lafayette. It would follow that re -designation of the south side of W. Lafayette from Rollston to Forrest to mixed-use parking would have little impact the owners/residents in that area of W. Lafayette. Meanwhile, the re -designation would give visitors and employees of the Entertainment District several additional parking opportunities. I agree with your proposal to re -designate the entire length of the north side of W. Lafayette from West Street to Forrest as mixed-use parking. However, the conversion of the three residential spots in front of the condos on the south side of W. Lafayette to mixed-use parking, as proposed, would create a disproportionate burden on us - the property owners and residents. We would not only be competing for the spaces in front of our property with the residents/guest of The District Apartments, but also with any and all visitors to the Entertainment District. We, the owners, are older, mature Americans. If we don't have access to one of the three spots in front of 305 W. Lafayette, we have to cross a very busy street and/or intersection just to get to our property. Additionally, keeping the three spots in front of our condos Residential would be consistent with the designation on the west side of Rollston. Furthermore, because this current Residential parking only area is isolated between Campbell and Rollston, re -designation of the south side of W. Lafayette from West St. to Campbell and Rollston to Forrest to mixed-use would be simple and easy to control and enforce. Finally, I think there are too many Residential Permits. Access to permits should be more restrictive. Similar to current parking regulations, I recommend keeping the annual window sticker and the semi-annual hang tag. Additionally, I would add an annual hang tag (valid for the calendar year) to the mix. Property owner residents should be allowed a maximum of two (2) permits. With proof of vehicle registration, proof of payment of property taxes, and for a fee of $100 (less than $10/month), property owners residents could get two annual (12 month) permits. Property owner residents would have a choice of two annual window stickers, two annual hang tags, or one of each of the two tags. On the other hand, non -property owner residents would have only one option. With proof of vehicle registration, proof of lease, and for a fee of $250 (slightly more than $40/month), non -property owner residents would be allowed one (l) semi-annual hanging tag. This price is competitive with apartment garage parking fees, but more convenient and much less expensive than metered, mix -used fees. In summary, all of W. Lafayette from West Street to Forrest (with the exception of the three spaces on the south side of Lafayette between Campbell and Rollston), would be re -designated mixed-use parking. Property owners who reside in the Entertainment District could purchase a maximum of two annual tags for $100. Non -property owners who reside in the Entertainment District would be eligible to purchase one semi-annual hang tag for $250 ($500 annually). Thanks for allowing my input. I think I speak for the other owners of the condos at 305 W. Lafayette when I say, we want to do what's best for the City - while protecting what little sanctuary we have left! Respectfully, G. Allen Hale (c) 817.727.2340 Sent from my Wad From: Parkina To: Clay, Justin Subject: Fw: Mixed use parking on Lafayette Street Date: Tuesday, July 16, 2019 7:48:37 AM From: Bill Corley <bill@williamcorley.com> Sent: Monday, July 15, 2019 8:50 PM To: Parking Cc: catherine Corley; Kinion, Mark Subject: Mixed use parking on Lafayette Street Dear Mr. Clay - Regarding your letter of July 9, we would like to offer our input herein. We also plan to attend the City Council meeting tomorrow evening to voice our concerns. The proposed changing of our residential parking from Forest Ave down to Campbell St will impose a disproportionate burden on the residents of the homes east of Mock Street for at least three reasons: 1. The homes closest to Forrest have no garages, only a small and crowded shared alley way in back. These residents have a greater need for dependable on -street parking 2. The homes east of Mock street are nearest to the Central Methodist parking deck, which provides ample parking nearby for many who use the bus stop and others. 3. The homes east of Mock street are furthest from the entertainment in comparison than the homes further west, so there's less utilization in any case. The proposed changes will diminish the residential quality of life for this block unnecessarily, and with greater negative impact than at the West end of Lafayette St' Conclusion: Instead, we ask that the mixed use parking end at the corner of West Lafayette St and Mock Street. This preserves the at -risk residential quality of life here, while also adding to the available mixed use parking on Lafayette St. My contact information is below, if you would like to speak with us about this. Respectfully, Bill Corley (479) 466-5879 80 West Lafayette St Fayetteville, Arkansas 72701 bill@williamcorley.com From: Parking To: Clay, Justin Subject: Fw: Parking situation Date: Monday, July 15, 2019 12:48:30 PM From: Sarah Chilton <sarahmchilton@gmail.com> Sent: Monday, July 15, 2019 12:06 PM To: Parking Subject: Parking situation Hey Justin. My name is Sarah Chilton, and my husband and I live at 120 W. Lafayette St. I have some concerns with the parking initiative. We are given 1 sticker and 2 tags for our residence. Leaving my husband and I with only 1 guest parking spot (I've even asked to PURCHASE more parking passes for guests since our street is always empty- but was denied, which seems ludicrous to me since the city would be making money and using the empty spots). I understand mixed use parking could help non-residents who are struggling to find parking. That being said, we would need to be ensured that the parking spots in front of our house are reserved for only us, since we don't have a driveway, and most of the houses on our streets don't have a driveway. I went to the UofA, and I understand how difficult parking can be. BUT what won't be ok is if the residents who live on our street aren't given their own personal spots because of the change the city wants to make. I shouldn't have to carry groceries and other large objects two blocks from my house because of non-residents filling up the spots. We all pay our taxes to live in this historic district where there are few driveways. It would be wrong if it's made to be mixed parking and the residents struggle. That's how we feel and how our neighbors that I have spoken with feel. You can utilize the extra parking, but don't punish the residents who pay their taxes to live there. We are entitled a certain number of reserved spots by our house. We aren't the general public who should have to hunt for spots. Thank you. -Sarah Chilton From: Parkin To: Clay, Justin Subject: Fw: Dual use Date: Monday, July 15, 2019 12:57:34 PM email from Larry Weathers, 305 W Lafayette From: Yahoo Email <Iwwmd131313@yahoo.com> Sent: Monday, July 15, 2019 9:53 AM To: Parking Cc: cisco737@aol.com; LA SEMINOLITA Subject: Dual use Thanks for listening too me concerning changing parking in front of 305 West Lafayette condos to dual use. There are only six condos. My concerns as we discussed are as follows if they are made dual use: 1 we already have to deal with the high rise next door when they use our lot as a drop off zone for 20 to 30mins while they drop off or pick up someone who lives there leaving their car running. 2 when someone is parking in our lot, we have to stay there if we have them towed punishes us NOT them. 3 many of the residents in the top four 305 Lafayette need to park in front because of age and disability reasons.(steep steps) 3 these spaces are prime spaces on the weekends when we come to visit because of proximity to Bordinos and Theos and university Baptist and even the Walton arts and in the weekend we will always have to compete with them to park in front of our condos. 4 We already have to deal with the large amount of traffic noise and activity from the high rise next door. 5 If these spots are made dual use , it would be a huge hurdle to get them changed back through the council since we are a tiny voice. My suggestion would be to keep the 3 spots in front of 305 West Lafayette and 10 spots across the street as they are to protect the property of 305 W Lafayette and the owners too our north and east out of respect. Most of us have our condos because we love and support the Hogs and Funky Fayetteville. Please do not change these to dual use.

That would give the residents/guests of The District several parking spots nearer their apartments, while opening up many additional spaces to Entertainment District guests/employees. Density on W. Lafayette from Rollston to Forrest is significantly less than the density from Rollston to West Street. Additionally, there are considerably more parking spaces/residents available in this less dense area. Therefore, it is the most under-utilized parking area on W. Lafayette. It would follow that re -designation of the south side of W. Lafayette from Rollston to Forrest to mixed-use parking would have little impact the owners/residents in that area of W. Lafayette. Meanwhile, the re -designation would give visitors and employees of the Entertainment District several additional parking opportunities. I agree with your proposal to re -designate the entire length of the north side of W. Lafayette from West Street to Forrest as mixed-use parking. However, the conversion of the three residential spots in front of the condos on the south side of W. Lafayette to mixed-use parking, as proposed, would create a disproportionate burden on us - the property owners and residents. We would not only be competing for the spaces in front of our property with the residents/guest of The District Apartments, but also with any and all visitors to the Entertainment District. We, the owners, are older, mature Americans. If we don't have access to one of the three spots in front of 305 W. Lafayette, we have to cross a very busy street and/or intersection just to get to our property. Additionally, keeping the three spots in front of our condos Residential would be consistent with the designation on the west side of Rollston. Furthermore, because this current Residential parking only area is isolated between Campbell and Rollston, re -designation of the south side of W. Lafayette from West St. to Campbell and Rollston to Forrest to mixed-use would be simple and easy to control and enforce. Finally, I think there are too many Residential Permits. Access to permits should be more restrictive. Similar to current parking regulations, I recommend keeping the annual window sticker and the semi-annual hang tag. Additionally, I would add an annual hang tag (valid for the calendar year) to the mix. Property owner residents should be allowed a maximum of two (2) permits. With proof of vehicle registration, proof of payment of property taxes, and for a fee of $100 (less than $10/month), property owners residents could get two annual (12 month) permits. Property owner residents would have a choice of two annual window stickers, two annual hang tags, or one of each of the two tags. On the other hand, non -property owner residents would have only one option. With proof of vehicle registration, proof of lease, and for a fee of $250 (slightly more than $40/month), non - property owner residents would be allowed one (1) semi-annual hanging tag. This price is competitive with apartment garage parking fees, but more convenient and much less expensive than metered, mix -used fees. In summary, all of W. Lafayette from West Street to Forrest (with the exception of the three spaces on the south side of Lafayette between Campbell and Rollston), would be re- designated mixed-use parking. Property owners who reside in the Entertainment District could purchase a maximum of two annual tags for $100. Non -property owners who reside in the Entertainment District would be eligible to purchase one semi-annual hang tag for $250 ($500 annually). Thanks for allowing my input. I think I speak for the other owners of the condos at 305 W. Lafayette when I say, we want to do what's best for the City - while protecting what little sanctuary we have left! Respectfully, G.

Locust and I object to the mixed use parking. My basis is that I am 66 yrs old and have difficulty finding a parking spot as it is. I like to park near my place since I have had two knee replacements. Too much traffic on the street already. On March 15, 2018, a fast moving vehicle left Dickson Street striking my daughters red Honda in the rear as it was parked lawfully in a proper space causing $13,000 worth of damage. This was a hit and run accident. It would appear the person striking the automobile was driving too fast on this crowded street and/or had too many beverages on Dickson Street resulting in his/her leaving the scene of accident. If you would like to see photos please advise. For the above reasons, I object to the mix use parking. Should you have any questions, I can be reached by cell at 870-265-1788. Cordially, Robert G.

It is often very difficult to find parking on Locust Avenue from Dickson Street to Spring Street, and will become even more difficult in the event that parking on Locust Avenue from Spring Street to Center Street is converted to "mixed use" use parking. Between Walton Arts Center Events and nightlife parking, often times you cannot find parking for the residence and guests in our townhomes. If parking becomes mixed-use, the residents, tenants and guests from Spring Street to Center Street will begin parking on Locust between Dickson and Spring Street making our ability to park almost impossible. One of the reasons we choose to live where we live is the reserved spots for residents only. If you take that away, you not only decrease our property values, you also, make it to where ourselves and our guests will dine and shop less often in the area. Please do not allow this change.

CIs h i-1 .M ep rua '7;Z,,`0 August 20, 2019 G. Allen Hale 305 W. Lafayette St Fayetteville, AR 72701 Dear Sir or Madam: In addition to changing street segments of Vandeventer, Lafayette, and Church from paid - only to mixed-use parking, the City Parking Department's letter dated July 9, 2019 proposed the change in designation from residential -only to mixed-use parking on Lafayette from Campbell to Forrest. On behalf of the owners of the six properties located at 305 W Lafayette, I respectfully request that the three residential -only spaces (R 93, R 94, and R 95) located on the the south side of Lafayette between Campbell and Rollston not be changed to mixed-use parking (see attachment #1). Changing the spaces to mixed-use parking would create an undue risk and hardship on the owners, our families, and our guests. I understand, appreciate and support the Parking Department's efforts to increase available parking in underutilized areas. While the City's Parking Staff deals with all of Fayetteville and has been studying the parking situation for over two years, I have been studying the parking situation on Lafayette for the last 15 years - day, night, weekday, weekend, Homecoming, and Bikes, Blues, and BBQ! When my wife and I bought the condo on Lafayette, each of the six owners was deeded one parking space in the area adjoining the property on the east side. Although every owner had two cars, parking wasn't an issue. All of Lafayette was mixed-use. The University Baptist Church (UBC) owned two buildings and a huge parking lot on the corner of Campbell and Lafayette. Anyone could park there anytime (except on Sunday morning). FREE Parking! Billy Currington had a hit song on the country charts called 'People Are Crazy.' The last line of the chorus goes something like, "God is great; beer is good; and people are crazy." His sequel "People Are Lazy" never made it to #1 on the charts, but is a well known, documented fact. 'God is great' and I never thought that UBC would sell us out. But they did. When the construction started on the Sterling (now YOUnion) Apartments and the Church lot closed, parking on Lafayette (and in the North Zone of the Entertainment District) became a nightmare. 'Beer is good' on Dickson St and it didn't take people long to figure out that the shortest distance from Lafayette to Dickson was by parking in front of 305 W Lafayette - after all, 'people are lazy.' Fortunately, the City soon implemented its Entertainment District parking plan. We, like most residential areas within the designated area, were allocated residentiol- only parking spaces. As tax -paying home -owners, our much deserved spaces were protected. This was short-lived, as the residents of Sterling (a.k.a. YOUnion) were allowed access to 'residential' permits. Once again, the shortest distance between residential parking on Lafayette and the YOUnion Apartments [the real elephant in the room (and in the North Zone of the Entertainment District)] is in front of 305 W Lafayette! I have gone weeks unable to park in front of my own property - all because the 'residents' of the YOUnion are either too cheep to pay for apartment parking or too lazy to walk an extra 30 feet. Owners of our six properties range in age from 62 to 72. Because we're isolated between Campbell and Rollston; and, if one of our three spaces isn't available, we are forced to carry groceries, wheel elderly family members, and/or push grandkids in baby strollers across Lafayette, Campbell, and/or Rollston. I shouldn't have to remind you how dangerous it can be (for anyone at any age) attempting to cross busy streets with distracted or impaired drivers. To make matters worse, there are no crosswalks on Lafayette - no blinking lights to indicate pedestrian right of way. Here's the bottom line... R 93, R 94, & R 9S is a unique, isolated situation. We're only asking for three of the more than 70 spaces that are to be designated as 'mixed- use.' This is small and insignificant in the overall scheme of things in the North Zone of the Entertainment District. Yet, keeping them 'residential -only/ is meaningful and consequential to us. Keeping R 93, R 94, & R 95 'residential -only' is consistent with designated spaces on Rollston. Designation would conform with current markings on Rollston (see attached photo). As a veteran, as a tax payer, as a property owner and as a long time resident on W Lafayette, I respectfully request that the three residential -only spaces (R 93, R 94, and R 95) located on the the south side of Lafayette between Campbell and Rollston not be changed to mixed- use parking. If R 93, R 94, and R 95 are changed to mixed-use, our fear is that we will not have access to the three spaces in front of our properties before our kids move us to Butterfield Trail Village!

Thanks. Patti From: Brandon Russell <bkrusse@gmail.com> Sent: Monday, August 19, 2019 9:00 PM To: Mayor <Mayor@fayetteville-ar.gov> Subject: Proposal for Mixed Use Parking on Lafayette St Mayor Lioneld Jordan, I own a property on Lafayette St in the entertainment district that currently has a residential parking program to protect parking for residential neighborhoods. The council is looking to change the parking to mixed used based on a parking study that indicated that the parking on Lafayette St is not always at full capacity. It is not ideal to base policy on one study as there are many factors that need to be considered. Here are a few points for consideration: • The study identified that, on average, the parking is only at roughly half capacity. As someone who has lived on the street for almost a decade I disagree with the study but there are usually open spaces. The problem with the recommendation of the study is that is recommended to turn all spaces to mixed use despite the fact that roughly half of them are still needed for the residents. A portion of Lafayette St is already paid parking. A better solution would be to see if there is an opportunity to allocate some spaces to mixed use while leaving others (as the study indicated residents were using) for the residents. • Due to the geography of Mt Nord there is a significant incline starting on properties on the north side of the street. This created the need for a —6 ft tall retaining wall. There is a historic stone wall running along most of the north portion of the street. Due to the wall and incline there are many properties that cannot have a driveway and have historically used the side of the street (where parking spots currently are) as their drive way. I counted 13 properties that do not have driveway access from Lafayette St. These are single family homes that rely on street parking as their only means of parking. • Consider this: It is Bikes Blues and BBQ and a parent who lives off Lafayette St gets off work, picks up 40lbs of groceries, picks up two kids and heads home. All the street parking is full of bikes and cars for 5 days straight. There is absolutely no option to park near the single family home. The parent has to drive a mile and pay $20 to park in a lot and then walk one mile with 40lbs of groceries and two kids in the middle of a motorcycle rally. There is a doctor's appointment in two hours for one of the kids. This is the reality of what would happen if the council passes this measure. Remember, these are single family homes not apartment complexes or commercial buildings. The parking dept. will still allow people to use residential passes but that does not help when there is no parking available. • Most of the homes off Lafayette are zoned NC or Neighborhood Conservation. The goal of this strict zoning is to preserve the nature of the historic neighborhood and to maintain a neighborhood feel. Implementing mixed parking in this area is inconsistent with the goal of its zoning. Rowdy people leaving Dickson St at 2 am walking to their car parked the middle of the neighborhood is not consistent with preserving a neighborhood feel. • There will be a significant impact to other streets that the parking study identified as being at full capacity. The study identified that, on average, roughly half of the residential parking spaces on Lafayette St. were occupied. That is still a significant amount of vehicles. In the event that the parking on Lafayette St is at capacity people with residential parking passes will overflow other streets that are under the residential parking program. Now you have a situation where other streets are beyond capacity. This is not fair to the people on those streets that rely on residential parking. Also note that it is likely that a number of people who rely on residential parking on Lafayette St will start parking on Mt Nord St in the heart of the historic district. There are also houses on Mt Nord St that solely rely on street parking. This is certainly not an ideal situation for residents in the historic district. It appears the parking study did not account for this. • This could make it much more difficult to rent or sell a property on Lafayette St. For properties that rely solely on street parking this could have a significant impact on rent/property value. This would be highly unfair to property owners who not only invested in downtown Fayetteville but the historic Mt Nord area. I know this is lengthy but there is a lot to consider here. When the city implemented the parking program almost a decade ago the residential parking program was implemented because the city identified the need to protect the parking in the residential districts. This is not a fair solution to the parking situation on Lafayette. Let's be proactive and come up with a better, fairer solution as opposed to being reactive down the line when this proposal does not work. I highly urge the council to not allow this measure to pass. I thank you for taking the time to read this and for your consideration. Please reach out with any questions.

The first accommodations should be to downtown residents and not to U of A students or revenue generation. I live a block away (111 Mt. Nord) and in the last 12 months we have seen an influx of students parking in the neighborhood. The UMC lot is usually full so people visiting Washington Elem. then join the other U of A students who now park on Mt. Nord. If Lafayette residents lose their parking they will also move up to Mt. Nord to park. Then where will we park? Our street is narrow(should probably be one way) and on multiple occasions is completely blocked by trucks and cars parking on both sides of the street. For the next 5 weeks it is completely blocked for repaving and we are using a residential guest pass for parking on Lafayette. I appreciate the challenges presented by the enrollment growth at U of A. I hope the city continues to push the university to move students to controlled remote parking options and not penalize downtown residents who need parking at their homes.
