RE: Proposed Expansion of Residential Parking Permit Area to Three More
Blocks North of Maple Street
On January 3, 2013, the Fayetteville City Council expanded the Residential
Parking Permit Area to include one block of Ila Street between Wilson and
Vandeventer Avenue. Please see my attached memo of December 7, 2012 which
explained the rationale for this expansion of the Residential Parking Permit
Program.
Now the sororities adjoining Ila Street have been substantially enlarged and
the number of sorority members attending meals or meetings have increased even
more which has placed increased parking burdens on the residential streets nearest
these two sororities. Council Member Mark Kinion now seeks to expand the
Residential Parking Permit Area to help another block of Ila and two blocks of
Vandeventer.
Please find attached the proposed ordinance to amend the Applicability
section of §72.18 Residential Parking Permit Program for the Entertainment
District Parking Zone of the Fayetteville Code.

RE: Placing one block of Ila within the Entertainment District Parking Zone
Alderman Mark Kinion asked me to draft an ordinance to add one block of
Ila Street (between Wilson Avenue and Vandeventer) to the Residential Parking
Permit Program for the Entertainment District Parking Zone. This block of Ila is
narrower than the remainder of Ila and only wide enough to allow parking on one
side. The block immediately to the South contains two sororities where members
sometime use this block of Ila for parking. This block is also the closest to the U
of A campus and to a U of A bus stop. These factors often result in serious parking
problems for the residents of this block of Ila.
This section of Ila is only a block from the current Residential Parking
Permit Program for the Entertainment District Parking Zone. Alderman Kinion
believes that the City should extend the District Parking Zone to this single block
of Ila to help alleviate the unique parking problems its residents have.
Attached is an ordinance that would extend the District Parking Zone to this
single block of Ila Street.

AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND §72.18 RESIDENTIAL PARKING PERMIT
PROGRAM FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT PARKING ZONE
(A) APPLICABILITY TO ADD THE BLOCK OF ILA BETWEEN WILSON

WHEREAS, the block of Ila Street between Wilson and Vandeventer is so narrow that
parking can only be allowed on one side; and
WHEREAS, the block immediately south is zoned RMF -40 and has two sororities
fronting on Wilson, Maple and Vandeventer; and

many students that the homeowners on this street often cannot park near their homes (most
which do not have off-street parking); and

District Parking Zone and needs the same residential parking protections as currently exist for
the rest of the residences in the Entertainment District Parking Zone.

Attachments: IMG_1334.jpg; IMG_1333jpg; IMG_1332.jpg; IMG_1295jpg; IMG_1335jpg
Good Morning Mr. Clay,
My husband and I purchased a home at 405 Louise Street in June. We are currently remodeling and have not moved in
yet. I'm writing because I have huge concerns over the parking along Louise now that University students are back. Our
street is overrun with Pi Phi and Kappa Delta women who use this street as their parking lot. There is no method to the
madness like having curbs or striped spaces so they could not park in any direction, on the grass, on the
crosswalks/speedbumps, regardless of any "No Parking on this side of the Street" signs, they park on both sides as you
can see in these photos. I actually called Fayetteville PD a had one of these cars towed that had been parked on the
wrong side of the street on Vandeventer for 2 days so I know this is not being policed by the city. But my car could not get
down Vandeventer for two days so I finally called.
As I've met new neighbors I've been told that the city implemented Resident reserved parking on Ila but not Louise for a
variety of reasons from " there are at least 5 lawyers, a judge lives on that street as does Mark Kinion, a local elected
official to not enough of us on Louise complain ...... I don't know (hope) that those are not the reasons.
Can you tell me if there are plans to stripe and make Louise resident reserved parking like Ila is? What I'm hearing is that
these two sororities used Ila, in the same way, overrunning the people who live there (and pay taxes in this city) so the
city finally changed it. When that happened the sororities just bumped down to Louise and to the Park. I don't personally
have anything against these young women or their organizations, but if they can afford to build homes that house 200-300
girls, it's on them to provide parking. In fact, the home we purchased had an offer from Kappa Delta to buy and tear down
to make it their parking lot. The sellers wouldn't consider the offer because they did not want the house torn down. Our
realtor joked that the city would have never let the property become a sorority parking lot, but basically, the city allows
them to use this entire street as their parking lot?
My husband and I own a business on Dickson Street and have for ten years. We encounter conversations all the time with
people who have of essentially stopped coming downtown because of towing and parking and the meters that don't
work ... so we have seen so many people who stopped coming to our business because of what they feel is the literal
"over -policing" on Dickson Street, meanwhile we cant get out of our new driveway because College kids disregard signs,
cant park properly and or don't care if they do park properly... and one street up- they do not have this problem? Perhaps
the Parking Department could focus down here for a minute. I cannot come up with one reason why Louise would not or
should not become the same type of Resident parking with tags? I'm hoping you will tell me it's in the works, just hasn't
happened yet and when.
I am attaching some photos just from Sunday through today so show you how the parking looks on a daily basis. You can
see there are cars on both sides, regardless of "No Parking on this side" signs. The white car with Oklahoma plates had
been there 2 days. Our block from Vandeventer to Wilson seems to be the only portion without curbing. It is gravel and
some grass that must be mowed and maintained by us, however, we can't mow because of the cars. Why are there
concrete curbs on Louise past our block to at least keep the kids from parking on the grass?
I'll let you know that for 25 years I have always lived downtown, on Dickson, then another home on the other side of
Wilson Park on West Prospect which also does not have this problem as Louise does. I understand that living and owning
a business downtown comes with headaches. I get that. But I don't see any way the City can justify the parking situation
on Ila to the one block down on our street. I don't understand why it is not curbed with concrete to keep parking off of the
grass and why the parking is not at least timed? The cars I'm showing you here were there Sunday and still this morning.
You can drive from Wilson to Park and see one sorority sticker after another on any day of the week at anytime and go by
the next day and see the same cars.
Can you please respond with plans the City has in the works to remedy this as I know I am not the only complaining
citizen living on Louise. We've discussed bring this forward from our neighborhood group but I offered to email first and
share the response.
My number is 479-841-5420 or you can of course reply by email.

Subject: Neighborhood Parking
Dear City Council members and Mayor Jordan,
I lived in two different San Francisco neighborhoods that went from having no residential parking program (park all day
long, no time limit) to residential permit parking programs. The program allows unlimited parking for verified year-round
residents and various special programs for teachers, caregivers, etc. The visitor parking in the area is limited 2 -hour
parking for non-residents and guests during a certain time period, usually weekdays, on business days. The 2 -hour
(sometimes 4 -hour) parking limit seems to encourage brevity and car turnover while weeding out parkers who take
advantage of convenient, free parking close to popular destination.
There are several aspects of the program to take note of:
• Permit fees: should be easy to get and inexpensive but not free. This encourages resident participation and self -
policing.
• Ticket fees: should be significant to discourage abuse ($5 ticket would not work)
• Driveway and sidewalk parking rules: These should be identified and enforced in the beginning so people don't
get used to parking in their driveway and blocking pedestrians.
• Area perimeter: is extend the program farther than the "problem area." This is because visiting parkers will go
one block over to avoid the permit are and then that block becomes congested.
• Clear signage: I created some versions of neighborhood permit parking signage several years ago when the
Fayetteville Fire Department noted problems related to fraternities and sororities located directly north of
Maple, adjacent to campus.
Permits are a sticker on the rear vehicle window or bumper so that parking control can easily see permits. In the old
days, parking control used chalk (now illegal). The modern technology is something the City has planned for the future in
its parking program plan — license plate recognition.
No one I knew had issues with the permit parking program as a resident. I think if you asked other previous SF residents,
they would tell you the same (for the neighborhood parking). As a visiting parker, it was great for me to run have lunch
(parking for free a couple of streets over in the neighborhood, instead of on commercial street with meters) or meet
with friends at their residences.

PETITION
The undersigned, all residents of Fayetteville, Arkansas, residing on West Ila
Street and adjacent to West 113 in the 100 and 200 blocks are opposed to the
proposed plan to create an "Entertainment District residential only parking" in the
300 block of West Ila Street between Vandeventer and Shady and on Vandeventer
between Maple and Louise.
This proposal will create substantial parking and traffic issues in our
neighborhood in the 100 and 200 blocks of West Ila.
As an alternative we propose that the "Entertainment District residential parking
only" designation include all of West Ila from Park Street on the east to
Vandeventer on the West (identical to the present designation on the 400 block
of West Ila between Vandeventer and Wilson). Further we request that this
designation of "Entertainment District residential parking only" include the
following boundaries: Maple on the South to Louise on the North and Park on the
east and Wilson on the West.
We want to be treated with the same consideration and fairness that the present
proposal provides the residents in the 400 block and the 300 block of West Ila.
Also, the present parking challenge creates "one way" streets which are a hazard
for residents and emergency vehicles.
Signed this day, Sunday, August 18, 2019.

Subject: ILA St Parking
To Whom It May Concern:
I have lived at 318 W ILA St for 18 years.
We chose our house because we love the Wilson Park neighborhood and the proximity to Dickson Street and the
University. We enjoy having college professors, students and sorority members as our friends and neighbors.
Virtually every sorority at the University of Arkansas has expanded in recent years. The most recent expansion that is
closest to us is the Kappa Delta house located at 404 W Maple St. The old Kappa Delta house that was demolished in
2018 had about 16,000 square feet. The new Kappa Delta House, according to CDI Contractors is 40,000 square feet
with 97 beds and a dining and chapter room that seats 300.
http://www.cdicon.com/portfolio/project/162/kappa-delta-sorority-zeta-gamma-chapter-house
The old house had around 58 parking spaces and the new house has 37 parking spaces (which includes at least 3
employee parking spaces.) The new Kappa Delta house has parking for just 1 out of 3 house residents and no parking for
the other 200+ members.
Pi Beta Phi Sorority (502 W Maple) located next door to Kappa Delta underwent a similar expansion a couple of years
ago. Pi Beta Phi has 98 beds and 62 parking spaces- and dining and meeting space for around 300.
Members of both sororities park on Vandeventer and both sides of ILA for days at a time, making street parking that is
dangerously over capacity. 2 way travel is impossible and exiting out our drive way is dangerous due to limited
visibility. Taking my trailer out of my garage and backing back into my garage is dangerous. School buses, garbage trucks
and fire trucks have an extremely difficult time making it through our cramped streets. It is tough to have a plumber or
electrician make a service call.
Our elderly neighbors, mothers with young children and the elderly parents of our neighbors are often forced to park
several blocks away from their houses. Our guests have nowhere to park. I have attached a photo I took Sunday
morning, keep in mind that University classes don't start for another week.
We have always had occasional Dickson St parking and Razorback football game parking, however the sorority/university
parking is continuous. The sorority members are not at fault, I wish the people that facilitated the expansion of these
houses had provided the needed parking spaces.
Adding us to the residential parking program is a reasonable solution to this problem.
Thank you,

Subject: Ila Street Parking - Residential permit
Hi,
Thank you for leaving the flyers on doors about the proposed parking change. We are in the process of purchasing a
house on Ila between Shady Ave and Lincoln. It already seems very rare that there are any open spots on the
street. Would it be possible to extend the request for Residential parking on Ila to go to Lincoln? If the Residential
permits stop at Shady Ave, it will obviously just push those student cars one block over to our section of the street.
Thank you for your consideration.

Subject: Residential permit -only parking
I received your letter regarding parking proposals for residential permit -only parking for my
neighborhood. I live at 325 W. Louise. Many times of the day and evening, some times for an
entire weekend, students park in all the spaces in front of my home. There is, at this moment, a
Jeep which has been there since Friday sometime during the day. This is a common occurrence.
I have no spots other than my drive to park for my family and any visiting guests. At times,
cars which have residential permit parking stickers from Ila Street have parked their cars in
front of my home for the weekend, I suppose in order to give guests their reserved spots on Ila.
I will try to attend the City Council meeting on August 20th and echo my request for residential
permit -only parking zone for our street.
Thanks for your consideration in this matter.

South Wilson Park Residential Parking District Analysis
September 2019
Overview: The City Council has asked for a parking analysis for the eight -block residential area directly
south of Wilson Park bounded by Louise Street on the north, Park Avenue on the east, Maple Street on
the south, and Wilson Avenue on the west. This area is included in the City's Town and Gown Boundary.
The issue of parking conflicts in neighborhoods adjacent or in proximity to the University was previously
examined on a broad scale by a group of University of Arkansas Public Policy graduate students in 2014
concluding with a policy alternative paper titled "Parking Policies around the University of Arkansas
Campus". This study provided City staff with a historical background for the development of this current
residential parking analysis.
This South Wilson Park Residential Parking District Analysis has been designed within a framework of
policy goals. Potential policy alternatives are then compared against the policy goal framework to
identify the strengths and weaknesses of the various policy alternatives.
Policy goals examined include:
• Administrative Feasibility — ease of enforcement, ease of implementation, long-term policy
flexibility,
• Efficiency—total social net cost and benefits,
• Equity— policy fairness for both residents and visitors to the area,
• Sustainable Use of Parking Resource/Utilization — policy alternative should be aligned to
efficiently utilize the parking resource that exists,
• Political Feasibility— resident acceptance, visitor acceptance, likelihood of successful adoption
by the City Council.
• Replicability and Scalability — the policy alternative should be flexible in its design to allow it to
be effectively implemented in other areas or neighborhoods of the city.
Policy alternatives include the following:
1) Status Quo, no change,
2) Expansion of the current residential parking permit program used in the Dickson Street
Entertainment District,
3) A "Resident Parking Only" signage strategy, and
4) Creation of a Shared Residential Parking District.
Background: The University of Arkansas reported total enrollment including undergraduate, graduate
and law degree seekers at 26,062 in the spring of 2019. This is a 9% increase over the spring of 2014
when there were 23,917 students enrolled, and a 44% increase over 2009 when there were 18,091
students enrolled. This amount of growth at the University of Arkansas has directly impacted the
adjacent neighborhoods through redevelopment. The additional density and intensity of apartment
dwellings, fraternity and sorority houses, commercial spaces, and a variety of University uses has
intensified the parking issues experienced by residents and visitors of adjacent neighborhoods. Areas
that have free on -street parking and are in proximity to the University are frequently utilized by students
for short and sometimes long-term parking needs. Likewise, areas and neighborhoods in proximity to
fraternity and sorority houses may also experience parking issues such as parking space shortages during
peak times, lack of adequate turn -over of parking spaces throughout the day or night, and the long-term
storage of resident and visitor vehicles in public parking spaces.
For this analysis, staff is looking at residential parking policy alternatives for an eight -block area directly
south of Wilson Park. The area is bounded by Louise Street on the north, Park Avenue on the east,
Maple Street on the south, and Wilson Avenue on the west. The area has undergone many changes in
the last 5-10 years with the addition of the 640 bed Sterling Frisco Apartment complex completed in
2013, the 42,000 square foot Pi Beta Phi Sorority house that has accommodations for 98 residents,
dining facilities to seat 215, and a chapter room that seats 400 completed in 2017, and the recently
completed Kappa Delta sorority house that encompasses 36,000 square feet with 36 bedrooms which
opened in the fall of 2019.
The development of these large institutional and multi -family apartment projects has had an impact on
the on -street parking availability of the neighborhood in the surrounding blocks. Many of these
neighborhood streets are narrow, lack storm -water infrastructure and sidewalks, and have parking
spaces that are not clearly marked. For instance, sections of Ila Street have clearly marked parking
spaces, while the parking spaces along Louise Street are unmarked and in the gravel shoulder. Variations
in the street cross-section can lead drivers to parking cars in locations that obstruct driving lanes or that
are disruptive to driveway access, mailboxes, and recycling and trash pick-up.
Parking Utilization Study: City Parking Division staff began an ongoing in-person parking utilization study
on August 15`h for this neighborhood. Parking Division staff has been performing specific parking counts
for four time -periods of the day: 10 am, 2 pm, 6 pm and 10pm. These counts were conducted
throughout the entire eight -block area and included both cars parked in clearly marked spaces and cars
parked in un -marked spaces. The timing of this parking utilization study coincides with the beginning of
the fall semester when the activities associated with moving -in and fall rush for the sororities is in full
2
swing. This is evident in the parking utilization data from the time -period of August 15th to August 29th
when parking counts averaged 65% for the eight -block area with peak times occurring between 10 am
and 6 pm. Noticeably, the parking utilization decreased in the evening.

It is important to note that the parking utilization for the eight -block neighborhood decreased over time
as the school year got underway. The graph below is the parking utilization rate averaged out for a little
over a month, from August 15th to September 23`d. The data over this longer period -of -time shows that
an overall decrease in utilization that is likely a more accurate picture of the normal parking situation for
much of the year. In this longer view, the westernmost unregulated street segments continue to see
high utilization (approaching 80% or higher) while the average daily parking utilization rate for the entire
South Wilson Park neighborhood is 59%.

Policy Goals: The following policy goals provide a basis for the comparison of the status quo policy and
policy alternatives. These policy goals are intended to be considered at a neighborhood scale while
recognizing that parking spaces on public streets are intended to serve both residents of the
neighborhood and visitors from the wider community.
• Administrative Feasibility: Viable policy alternatives should be evaluated for the ease of
implementation and enforcement by City staff. If the policy alternative will require additional
resources to be successful, these costs are identified. Policy alternative should also be evaluated
for their replicability to other areas or neighborhoods in the city. Policy alternatives designed to be
implemented at the block level can provide context sensitive solutions and ultimately provide
flexibility to the policy.
• Efficiency: This policy goal is primarily looking at the hard costs and benefits to all stakeholders of
the various policy alternatives. These costs include labor, materials, administrative and
enforcement costs. Benefits include revenue generation potential to off -set associated costs.
• Equity: This examines how the policy alternatives impact stakeholders. Residents should have
access to public parking in proximity to their homes, and visitors should also have access to the
public street parking for their short-term parking needs.
• Sustainable Use of Parking Resource/Utilization: Parking spaces located in the public right-of-way
are intended for public use and should have utilization rates that justify the use of dedicating this
space for parking vehicles. If the utilization rate is too low it indicates that the parking space
supply is more than what is needed, if the utilization rate is too high it indicates that parking space
supply is limited or undervalued.
4
• Political Feasibility: This includes considerations for resident and visitors' acceptance and elected
officials' support.
• Replicability and Scalability: The policy alternative should be replicable for other areas or
neighborhoods of the City and cover the cost of operations
Policy Alternatives: The following policy alternatives are detailed and compared with the identified
policy goals.
1) Status Quo. The Entertainment District residential parking permit program is applicable for Ila
Street from Wilson Ave to Vandeventer Ave. Portions of some streets are designated as "no
parking" while the rest of the study area is unregulated and open to residents and visitors for
no -cost parking at all hours. Enforcement for this parking program is managed through both the
City's Parking Management Division and the Fayetteville Police Department.
Administrative Feasibility: Ease of operation and enforcement for the status quo is rated
low because the Fayetteville Police Department is responsible for enforcing parking
ordinances and regulations for the unregulated portion of the neighborhood.
Appropriately, responses to parking complaints are a lower priority than other public
safety and protection responsibilities.
Efficiency: The status quo option is not viable for efficiency. The program as it currently
exists is subsidized with revenue from other parking programs. Total costs for the
enforcement of the entire Entertainment District residential parking program in 2018
including labor, materials and operational costs was estimated at $21,150. Expansion of
this program by adding additional streets or blocks will only worsen its inefficiency.
Equity: The status quo scores low for equity for both residents and visitors. Having a
portion of Ilia Street reserved only for residents while allowing the remainder of the
neighborhood unregulated parking access produces an outcome that prioritizes resident
parking for the exclusive use of only certain residents on certain streets segments.
Residents on adjacent streets are then negatively impacted by improperly parked cars,
reduced access and high utilization rates from visitors to the neighborhood. Likewise,
the status quo policy effectively pushes visitors further into the neighborhood searching
for free parking.
Sustainable Use of Parking Resource/Utilizations: Parking utilization under the status
quo is generally acceptable, however, certain street segments are more desirable and
have higher utilization rates than others in the neighborhood. Overall the status quo
would be ranked medium because the parking utilization of the entire neighborhood is
acceptable.
- Political Feasibility: This option rates low due to the difficulty in enforcement and the
associated costs. The current policy also has low support from both residents and
visitors.
- Replicability and Scalability: The current policy is not replicable or scalable for multiple
reasons, primarily: its high cost of implementation and enforcement, inequitable
outcomes and lack of political feasibility.
2) Expansion of the current residential parking permit program used downtown and in the
Dickson Street Entertainment District. The second alternative is to expand the existing
Residential Paid Parking Program to the eight -block neighborhood south of Wilson Park.
- Administrative Feasibility: The ease of enforcement would be high for this option since it
would be an extension of an existing program and Parking staff can easily identify
parking violations. The ease of implementation would be medium due to the
administrative oversight required and the costs to implement. The flexibility of this
policy option would be medium since it could be effective but other options may be
more replicable on a larger scale for additional neighborhoods surrounding the
University that are also being impacted by visitor parking associated with University
uses.
- Efficiency: The efficiency of expanding the residential parking permit program ranks low
due to the high costs for implementation. It is estimated that utilizing this option for the
South Wilson Park neighborhood would amount to $15,511 in annual costs with no off-
set in revenue.
- Equity: Fairness to residents is rated medium because it will increase the amount of on -
street parking for residents and guests, however, some residents may be opposed if
they are asked to obtain and display residential parking permits. The parking availability
for visitors to the neighborhood is rated low because it would remove on -street parking
from public use without providing alternative parking options for the public.
- Sustainable Use Parking Resource/Utilization: Parking utilization under the current
Residential Parking Program has varying levels of utilization depending on the area
where it has been implemented. Areas with high utilization such as the Boles
Ave./Watson St. area are highly utilized. Other areas such as portions of Locust Ave.
have had low utilization resulting in amendments to the program's regulations. Given
the nature of the amount of visitor parking evident in the South Wilson Park area it can
be assumed that this option would leave many parking spaces under-utilized for much
of the time, therefore this option is rated low.
- Political Feasibility: This option rates medium for the likelihood for successful
implementation because it mirrors an existing program. It would likely have mixed
support from both residents and visitors. For residents it would not guarantee an on -
street parking space, however, it would require registering for permits to utilize public
parking spaces. Visitors would have decreased access to public parking spaces and may
perceive that they are unwelcome in the neighborhood.
- Replicability/Scalability: An expansion of the Residential Parking Program is rated low
for replicability and scalability because it is negative for efficiency, equity, and
sustainable use/utilization.
3) Resident Parking Only. The third policy alternative is to install "Resident Only Parking" signage
in the neighborhood to deter visitors from parking in the neighborhood. This option would allow
residents to park at any time.
- Administrative Feasibility: The ease of enforcement would be low. The enforcement
would be like the status quo with residents calling complaints into the Fayetteville Police
Department. Ease of implementation would be high because it would require the one-
time cost of signage and installation. The long-term flexibility and replicability of this
option would be medium as it could be effective in some additional areas of the City
impacted by University uses and growth.
Efficiency: The costs for implementing this option is rated medium. Costs associated
with installing signage is estimated at $1,400 with no off -set in revenue that would be
generated. The medium rating for this policy goal is due only to the low cost associated
with installing the signage.
Equity: Fairness to residents is rated high because it would reinforce the message that
visitors shouldn't park in these areas. However, it would rate low for visitors because
they would effectively be "banned" from parking on public streets in the neighborhood.
Sustainable Use Parking Resource/Utilization: This is given a low rating as it would leave
large areas of the neighborhood un -parked during most hours of the day.
Political Feasibility: This option rates medium for political feasibility. It would likely have
some support from residents initially. However, it is similar to the status quo in that the
policy enforcement would be complaint driven and not necessarily timely or effective.
Acceptance of this option by visitors would be low as they would be effectively banned
from parking in this neighborhood.
Replicability and Scalability: This policy option is ranked low for replicability and
scalability because it would be difficult to enforce and would result in under-utilized
parking in the public right-of-way.
4) Residential Shared Parking District. A residential shared parking district allows residents a
certain number of public parking spaces to be accessed at no cost while charging visitors to park.
Residents would be eligible to receive permits allowing them to park on -street at any time.
Visitors would be required to pay an hourly fee to park on -street and access could be limited to
certain hours of the day. Revenue generated from visitor parking fees would help offset the cost
of administering the program. Staff would recommend that resident parking permits be issued
based upon the parcel size in the neighborhood with additional parking permits available to the
larger parcels of land. For instance, each parcel 10,000 square feet or less would receive two
parking permits. Parcels larger than 10,000 square feet would be eligible for 1 additional parking
permit for every 5,000 square feet of land area greater than 10,000 square feet. (ex. A 40,000
square foot parcel would be eligible for 8 parking permits — 2 for the first 10,000 sq. ft., and 6
more for the additional 30,000 sq. ft.).
- Administrative Feasibility: The ease of enforcement for this policy would be high.
Residents would be issued visible permits that would allow Parking Division staff to
easily identify parking violations. Payment technology allows Parking Division staff to
determine whether visitors have properly paid for parking. Ease of implementation
would be medium due to the increased Parking Division staff resources required to issue
permits and patrol the neighborhood to ensure compliance. The flexibility of this policy
rates high because it would be easily replicable for other neighborhoods within the city.
- Efficiency: The costs for implementing a Residential Shared Parking District option is
rated high. Costs associated with operations and enforcement of the policy are offset by
revenue estimates that would offset these costs. For purposes of this analysis it is
estimated that this policy could generate $28,782 in revenue to offset $15,511 in cost
for a net benefit of $13,271 annually.
Equity: Fairness to residents is rated high because it would allow parking permits based
on parcel size. It would also be rated high for visitors because the more intensive land
uses, such as sorority houses, would be issued an appropriate number of parking
permits based on their larger parcel size. This policy option would provide a more level
playing field for the residents and visitors in the neighborhood.
Sustainable Use Parking Resource/Utilization: A residential shared parking district would
likely keep utilization at an acceptable level for both the residents and visitors and
therefore ranks high in this analysis.
Political Feasibility: This option rates medium for political feasibility. It would likely have
some support from some residents, however, this option may be less popular with the
visitors to the larger destinations within neighborhoods.
- Replicability and Scalability: A Residential Shared Parking District is highly replicable. It
ranks highly across most of the identified policy goals including: administrative
feasibility, efficiency, equity, the sustainable use of parking resources, and political
feasibility.
Parking Policy Cost/Benefit Analysis: Parking Division staff prepared a spreadsheet of identified parking
policy costs and parking policy benefits to analyze the "efficiency" goal and provide a financial basis for
the decision-making process. This data is shown in the spreadsheet below:

Subject: Wilson Park Parking Study
To Whom It May Concern:
I live at 318 W ILA.
My block has been over parked for years.
I have received a copy of the parking study.
It appears if residential permits are allocated based on square footage of land, Kappa Delta Sorority will receive 8
residential permits (42,079 square feet of land) and Pi Beta Phi (60,287 square feet of land) will receive 12 permits for a
combined total of 20.
If this happens (and I think it is a reasonable solution) I believe that all of ILA Street should be 2 sided parking.
In 2012 ILA St. between Vandeventer and Wilson was made permit parking only and single sided.
It was said at the time that ILA St was narrower on that block.
I have measured the width of ILA on my block and the block in question and my block is actually several inches narrower
than the single sided block.
If all of ILA is made double sided (which is clearly fair and equitable), it looks like at least 16 additional parking places will
be made available for additional parking.
If that block of ILA remains single sided, in my opinion the rest of ILA and Vandeventer will remain over parked even with
the parking solution that was advocated for in the parking study.
I also believe that long term vehicle storage in all of Fayetteville needs to be addressed. Currently the law allows for a
vehicle to be parked for 14 days without moving.
Surely a 72 hour limit is more appropriate a public resource like street parking?
Thanks very much,
Rolf

RE: Wilson Park Neighborhood Parking
Dear Mayor Jordan and City Council members:
My name is Greg Thoma. My wife, Eileen, and I live at 414 W. Ila St. I am writing you today regarding the South Wilson
Park residential parking district analysis which will be under discussion at the City Council meeting this evening. I have
included, below, my earlier email to you regarding this topic.
At the last meeting where this topic was discussed, we were encouraged by the broad recognition that there is a
problem in this neighborhood regarding parking, and we are very interested in contributing to the solution of this
problem in a manner that supports the integrity of this neighborhood. We understand the policy goals, mostly, outlined
in the document is prepared by the city staff.
I do have some questions regarding the policy goals. For example, the definition of efficiency as total social net costs and
benefits seems extremely narrow and only accounts for the tangible flow of money associated with the various options
(page 4). There is not an accounting, in this policy goal, of the non -monetary cost to the neighborhood of parking being
unavailable due to the influx of "visitors" every day who use our neighborhood streets as an extended parking lot for
access to the University. This concern is also related to the policy goal of equity.
Regarding the four options set forth in the analysis, we agree that the status quo is not tenable. Regarding the second
option, expansion of the current program, we do not completely agree with your assessment, but understand it as a low
probability of implementation. For the third option, the political visibility argument does not seem very strong, as the
complaint driven enforcement seems likely to have an initial spike in activity that will subside as "visitors" begin to
understand the parking situation. Based on the tone of the report and discussion at the last city Council meeting, it
seems that the fourth option of a shared parking district is most likely to be considered. The city staff rated medium or
better in all the policy goals.
As described in the parking district analysis by city staff, we cannot support this option. The principle of a shared parking
district seems attractive at first blush, but as proposed for distribution of parking permits based on parcel size would
result in the two sororities receiving 24 passes (the Pi Phi parcel is approximately 80,000 ft.z and the Kappa Delta parcel
is approximately 40,000 ft.2 based on Google maps area estimation). There are currently 15 parking spaces on Ila Street,
which as noted for other areas in the entertainment district is very likely to have significantly higher utilization due to its
proximity, and thus the equity/fairness ranking for Ila Street would be very low -as the 16 permits from the Pi Phi sorority
house will already fill the available slots.. This will only be exacerbated when the proposed sorority between Wilson and
the trail is constructed -presumably they would receive an additional 8 to 16 permits depending upon the parcel size. We
feel very strongly that, if as appears to be the case, the only politically feasible option is shared parking district, that its
implementation be very carefully considered and that it be implemented in a manner that does not unfairly impact
residents who happen to be closer to the University or sorority houses. The streets in the neighborhood are not equally
impacted -as evidenced by the status quo having been implemented because of the extreme pressures on Ila Street due
to proximity with the sorority houses and the University. In effect, our neighborhood is being adversely impacted due to
inadequate planning for parking by the University while they implemented a policy of expanding the student enrollment.
We would prefer a system considered in which both residents and the public purchase permits for on -street parking
rather than having them distributed based on parcel size — as mentioned in the last council meeting, a market-based
solution seems likely to equilibrate to an equitable and scalable solution. For example, there are nine homes on Ila
Street between Wilson and Vandeventer and five homes on Ila Street between Vandeventer and Shady, but there are
approximately 24 available slots on that block due to parking availability on both sides of the street. Due to the expected
difference in utilization across the eight -block area we would support a graduated fee structure with parking slots near
to the campus costing more. My main point is that some thought and consideration beyond what has been presented in
the analysis document is needed prior to implementation so that unintended consequences which adversely affect our
neighborhood, potentially lowering property values, do not occur. We look forward to a robust discussion of potential
solutions to this neighborhood problem and are committed to work with both the city and all our neighbors to achieve a
solution that is optimal in meeting the stated policy goals.
Sincerely,
Greg and Eileen Thoma

Subject: Wilson Park Neighborhood Parking
Dear Mayor and Council Members,
Dear Council Members,
I am writing this letter as a resident of the Wilson Park neighborhood in response to the parking conditions along the
streets in our neighborhood. My wife, Eileen, and I live at 414 W. Ila St. which has had reserved residential parking for
several years. Prior to that time, we were quite frequently frustrated with parking on our street because of overflow
parking from the University. We support walkable and livable neighborhoods- this was one of the primary deciding
factors in our choice to live near Wilson Park. We enjoy the diversity of neighborhood, with students, faculty, staff,
families and retirees. We also appreciate living in an older neighborhood, despite its quirks. Our home, and others on Ila
and around the park have limited off-street parking, and in the past when we had to compete with nonresidents,
parking in front of our own home was difficult or impossible. My elderly mother often stays with us for extended
periods, and she comes and goes during the day visiting friends, running errands, or seeing her doctors. The certainty of
her being able to park in front of our home has been a welcome change from the situation before residential parking
was established.
The residential parking on our block of Ila Street has alleviated the parking problem for Ila street residents and made us
feel that, despite the proximity to the University and the attendant traffic, our street is quite livable. When we entertain
and need additional parking, it has been easy to coordinate with our neighbors to pool guest hangtags. We often walk
for nearby errands, or to Dickson Street, but when we do need to drive we no longer have to worry about being able to
park near enough to carry in sometimes heavy bags of groceries.
We understand that as the University student population has grown over the past several years and two nearby
sororities have significantly expanded their buildings' footprint, with what seems to have been either a constant or
reduced number of parking spaces, that traffic and congestion as well as competition for on street parking between
students and residents has increased.
We understand that expanding residential parking districts will not solve the problem of too many cars near campus;
however, we also do not feel that inadequate planning by the sorority architects regarding parking should become the
neighborhoods' problem. Specifically, prior to approval of the Pi Phi house construction plans, in 2015, concerns were
raised by the neighborhood regarding the reduction in the number of parking places on the Pi Phi property and the
potential impact on the neighborhood. We were assured that there would not be any impact on the neighborhood —
unfortunately, there have been adverse impacts.
It seems clear to us that significant pressure is been placed on the neighborhood because of the expansion of the two
sororities on Maple Street. We frequently see groups of 5 to 10 sorority members cutting across the back corner of the
Pi Phi parking lot onto Ila Street headed for their cars in the next blocks. Because we have seen that the residential
parking on Ila Street has been extremely successful, from the residents' perspective, we strongly urge you to support the
expansion of the residential parking area further into the neighborhood as a means of protecting the quality of life in the
neighborhood. Our children and nieces and nephews have attended schools in numerous cities and many of them have
adopted similar measures as a protection for historic neighborhoods which adjoin those campuses and we feel that this
is an important quality of life issue for our neighborhood as well.
Sincerely,
Greg and Eileen Thoma

Subject: RE: Wilson Park Parking Study
All,
As some of you may remember, when the parking on the street day limit was being reconsidered a few years
back, the consensus was that a two week period would be best so that a person could take a two week vacation and not
return to a towed or ticketed vehicle that had been parked legally when they left. Of course, illegally parked vehicles
should and do have a much shorter maximum parking period (72 hours) on a city street before the vehicle can be towed.
Section 72.02 (A)(3)(d).
I suggest that a new residential parking district should be created for South Wilson Park Neighborhood rather
than an extension of the Entertainment District Parking Zone. This would prevent misuse of the free parking permits
being used in the entertainment district and residents of the entertainment district using their passes here. Rather than
providing any free residential parking passes for the Sororities, I would suggest that the Sororities receive a limited
number of permits that would allow them to pay for parking within this district. Strangers (nonresidents) of this
neighborhood could not pay to park in the neighborhood so even the pay to park spaces would be limited to the
sororities and visitors of the residences. If this results in underuse of available parking, this could be modified in the
future to allow some public paid parking spaces. Just my thoughts.

Subject: Wilson Park Parking Study
To Whom It May Concern:
I live at 318 W ILA.
My block has been over parked for years.
I have received a copy of the parking study.
It appears if residential permits are allocated based on square footage of land, Kappa Delta Sorority will receive 8
residential permits (42,079 square feet of land) and Pi Beta Phi (60,287 square feet of land) will receive 12 permits for a
combined total of 20.
If this happens (and I think it is a reasonable solution) I believe that all of ILA Street should be 2 sided parking.
In 2012 ILA St. between Vandeventer and Wilson was made permit parking only and single sided.
It was said at the time that ILA St was narrower on that block.
I have measured the width of ILA on my block and the block in question and my block is actually several inches narrower
than the single sided block.
If all of ILA is made double sided (which is clearly fair and equitable), it looks like at least 16 additional parking places will
be made available for additional parking.
If that block of ILA remains single sided, in my opinion the rest of ILA and Vandeventer will remain over parked even with
the parking solution that was advocated for in the parking study.
I also believe that long term vehicle storage in all of Fayetteville needs to be addressed. Currently the law allows for a
vehicle to be parked for 14 days without moving.
Surely a 72 hour limit is more appropriate a public resource like street parking?
Thanks very much,
Rolf

Subject: FW: parking Wilson Park south
Dear Mayor Jordan and Council Members:
First, thank you again for all of the listening and brainstorming you have done with all of us Wilson Park South
citizens. We in our neighborhood have also been brainstorming constantly with each other. After months of
experiencing this parking crisis and studying possible solutions, I believe that the great majority of WPS
neighbors are in strong agreement about the following:
--The old and lovely neighborhood which we now call Wilson Park South is facing a unique problem that will
require unique solutions. WPS is the only neighborhood in town that is purely residential and yet is bordered
by (soon ) three large event centers which threaten to overrun us. While WPS is no more important than any
other Fayetteville neighborhood and while we understand how efficient it would be to have a one size fits all
solution that we could implement city wide, we do not believe that is possible. We believe we have to address
the particular nature of the problem in this neighborhood.
--The guiding principle as we problem -solve is this: As several neighbors and council -members have expressed
at council meetings, the quality and character of the neighborhoods in Fayetteville are what make Fayetteville
an attractive, vibrant and sought after city. If our neighborhoods deteriorate, so does Fayetteville in
general. WPS is an historical neighborhood, an official designation which implies the importance --and
obligation --of protection.
--The particular nature of our problem is that it stems completely from the fact that event centers have been
constructed on nearby Maple street which house close to 100 students each and attract approximately 300
more each for activities, and do not have adequate parking. Not even close to adequate parking!! The KD
house has 33 parking spaces (out of 400 needed) and the Pi Phi house has about sixty (out of 400
needed) There is no information yet about the future parking arrangements at the third sorority house which
will be built soon on Maple. But it seems safe to say that these event centers really require about 1200
parking spaces. There are a total of 164 parking spaces available in the Wilson Park South
neighborhood. The lack of parking at these event centers has translated to members parking on our lawns,
blocking our driveways, double parking, consuming almost all of our spaces and sometimes leaving cars for
days. This crisis has nothing to do with the Wilson Park South residents. We have no ill will towards the
students. But we did not create this problem. We should not have to accommodate these poorly planned
facilities at the expense of the quality of our neighborhood. Do they plan to invite Us to have spaces in Their
parking lots?! The ones who created this problem must fix it. Necessity is the mother of invention.
--With all of the above in mind the best solution seems to be guaranteed residential parking with the surplus
used as paid parking. The WPS parking district would be defined as Louise and Ila from Wilson to Park, and
Vandeventer, Shady, and Lincoln from Louise to Maple. It would not include Maple. Enforcement of parking
rules would be complaint based and payment for paid parking would be by app so as not to bring meters or
kiosks into the neighborhood. We welcome respectful parkers in our surplus spaces.
--Very importantly, residential permits would NOT be offered to the sororities on Maple Street. Giving 20-24
parking permits, as has been mentioned, to each event center would mean 60-72 parking spaces out of 164 no
longer being available to residents. This is absolutely unworkable. This institutionalizes the problem rather
than fixing it! Since residential spots are not specific to addresses, it also creates the high potential that
spaces in front of homes will be taken by event center patrons. That means residents --some of whom in WPS
are elderly-- might have to park some distance from their homes.
--We do not believe that our views are antithetical to the values of sustainability. We understand the
philosophy of making parking harder so that people will depend less on cars. The fact is that many of us in the
centrally located Wilson Park South neighborhood walk to work in town and at the University. But
understandably, we who do still require cars for longer trips. It is illogocal to make it harder for us to park in
hopes that we will use our cars less when that very approach makes it EASIER for the sorority girls to use their
cars! It is not a solution.
--It is vitally important that the city engage with the University and the sororities to demand respect for our
city neighborhoods. There needs to be a new dynamic. The University is autonomous --but it is our
neighbor. We have a right to ask it to be a responsible neighbor. This is important not just for the historical
neighborhood of Wilson Park South but for all of Fayetteville. We have a beautiful vibrant healthy community
and we have to protect it.
Thank you,

RE: Wilson Park South Neighborhood Parking District hourly rates
One element of the proposal recommended by the Ordinance Review
Committee was to delegate to the City Administration the authority to
establish rates and times for paid parking within the mixed -used parking
spaces in the Wilson Park South Neighborhood.
After considering this element of the proposal, we believe this would be an
unconstitutional delegation of legislative authority to the executive branch
of the City, particularly given that violations of the ordinance carry criminal
penalties. The rates and times for paid parking should be established in the
ordinance that is passed by the City Council.
In Scroggins v. Kerr, the Arkansas Supreme Court discussed the difference
between executive and legislative action at the municipal level:
Both legislative and executive powers are possessed by
municipal corporations... The crucial test for determining what
is legislative and what is administrative is whether the ordinance
is one making a new law, or one executing a law already in
existence.
Executive action ... is not subject to the power of the referendum,
which is restricted to legislative action as distinguished from
mere administrative action.
"Legislative bodies may delegate the power to make
administrative rules, but under most circumstances may not
delegate the right to enact legislation." Scroggins v. Kerr, 217
Ark. 137 (1950).
The Arkansas General Assembly enacted Ark. Code Ann. § 14-303-101,
which vested the City Council with the following authority:
"The city council shall:
(1) Have the care, supervision, and control of all the public
highways, bridges, streets, alleys, public squares, and commons
within the city; and
(2) Cause those public highways, bridges, streets, alleys, public
squares, and commons to be kept open and in repair, and free
from nuisance."
Ark. Code Ann. § 14-43-504 provides for the Mayor's powers and duties,
including that '[i]t shall be his or her special duty to cause the ordinances
and regulations of the city to be faithfully and constantly obeyed."
The City Council is vested with the power to enact ordinances and the
Administration is vested with the power to enforce those ordinances, which
necessarily involves the City's police powers. It would not be appropriate or
constitutional for the City Council to delegate its legislative authority to
establish parking fees and hours or the possible penalties for violations.
The proposed amendment from staff contains a suggested fee of $1.00 per
hour between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 2:00 a.m. every day of the week. The
City Council certainly has the authority to change that before adoption or in
the future based on the circumstances within the parking district
