HEARING REQUIRED: No Hearing Required
SUMMARY:
On November 29, 2007, the City entered into an Interlocal Agreement with the Pensacola Downtown Improvement Board (DIB) as well as the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) for the creation of a comprehensive downtown parking strategy for the centralized and efficient management of downtown parking facilities. As referenced in Section 15. B. of the interlocal agreements, after the fifth annual anniversary of the initial term of the interlocal agreement, the City may upon the affirmative vote of City Council, terminate this Agreement without cause upon one hundred and twenty (120) days prior written notice to the DIB.
The Parking Management District (PMD) historically managed 6,300 total spaces, with 4,500 of those spaces within the downtown core with private spaces totaling roughly 14,700. Boundary changes to the managed area reduced parking by 2,400 to a revised total of 3,900 within the downtown core. The PMD managed area includes the area bounded on the westernmost side of DeVilliers St., on the north by the northernmost side of Wright St. and the CSX Railroad tracks, on the east by the easternmost side of Ninth Ave., and on the south by the shoreline of Pensacola Bay.
The Downtown Improvement Board (DIB) cannot enforce or regulate parking activities and enforcement outside the established district. The Mayor with City Council approval would like to expand the PMD boundaries to match those boundaries of the City of Pensacola and bring the PMD under City management effective October 1, 2020. It is anticipated that taking this action will be budget neutral to the City.
PRIOR ACTION:
December 13, 2007 - City Council approved Propose Ordinance No 53-07, amending the City Code of Ordinance Chapter 11-2 to legally ground the terms of the agreement assigning responsibility for administering and enforcing parking regulations in the Parking Management District to the Downtown Improvement Board.
October 27, 2016 - The City amended the November 29, 2007, Interlocal Agreement between the City of Pensacola and the Pensacola Downtown Improvement Board to remove 120 West Government Street from the Parking Facilities and Parking Management District in the Interlocal Agreement.
June 6, 2017 - The City amended the November 29, 2007, Interlocal Agreement between the City of Pensacola and the Pensacola Downtown Improvement Board to remove 150 South Baylen Street from the Parking Facilities and Parking Management District in the Interlocal Agreement.
