For better or worse, the city is in the parking business. It is in possession of some extremely valuable real estate in downtown Iowa City. The city ought to run its parking system in a manner that generates a fair return on the city's significant investment in parking facilities. Unlike a private parking operator, you must balance your desire for financial performance with the community's interest in maintaining downtown as a viable retail center. As you've been told time and time again, that means cheap and convenient parking. These two objectives -- maximized revenue and cheap, convenient service -- are usually mutually exclusive. Your chances of making shoppers and taxpayers happy with the same policy are negligible. Complainers have a modest financial stake Should the council heed warnings by the downtown business owners about the alleged dire consequences of rising parking costs? If so, this is a mighty short tail wagging the dog. According to Parking Division figures, Park & Shop program revenues constitute about 10 percent of total parking system revenues, about 18-20 percent of total receipts at the Capitol Street parking ramp and only 3-4 percent of total revenue generated by the Dubuque Street parking ramp. (See charts, next page.) The modest direct financial stake in the city's parking system held by downtown merchants suggests that the city ought not weigh too heavily the shopkeepers' complaints.

This is not a back-breaking increase. As I understand the original proposal, Park & Shop rates will not be affected by any rate increase. But there has been some indication by downtown businesspeople that the city has some obligation to help them reduce even this modest financial stake in the city's parking system. I suggest that the council cannot help those who will not help themselves. Merchants need buyers in their stores. The Park & Shop program only pays parking for those who buy from participating merchants. Any increase in this program's budget directly reflects quickened retail activity in downtown stores. Any business owner who complains about the rising costs of his Park and Shop participation is clearly not with the program here and ought to be ignored. , . i I No obligation to protect downtown merchants I ,1 On a related point, it has been suggested in print by the general manager of the Old Capitol Mall that the city has an obligation to protect the downtown retail sector from competition that mayor may not develop in Coralville or elsewhere. This is patently absurd. This manager apparently overestimates your powers. Not only can the city not provide such protection, it is not in the best interests of the city or even of the merchants for you to attempt to do so. It was suggested last week by former mayor Courtney that the current city council may not have a vision for downtown Iowa City, or at the very least, the current council does not share the vision of its predecessors 15 years ago. I" I'm inclined to believe the first point, but think the second is irrelevant to the current discussion. The vision of a redeveloped downtown Iowa City as a regional shopping center clearly did not foresee the burgeoning residential development in Coralville, northern Johnson County and southern Linn County, and the tremendous buying power that residents of these new areas possess. Nor did that plan comprehend the significance of the factory outlet phenomenon, as evidenced by the Tanger Mall in Williamsburg. Nor could it have anticipated many of the other demographic, financial and social trends that have turned the world of retailing upside down. p ,'. , - I~o~ ~')"~ '''\,':J'''''''''''~'\'''''' ""F"'"'''~';''''''''-'''T''' ..,.... ..."1".0..'1: :>, C:i:'.', , . ,'i 5",.;. ,..",' ,l"'," :,' 4 ,-,.:' ~ :,:,.".

But to now claim that the city council must stand by promises made nearly two decades ago under a completely different set of assumptions is ridiculous. 1 I I I The alleged threat of new competition Furthermore, why should the council concern itself exclusively with the threat posed to downtown retailers by a potential new mall development in Coralville? Why shouldn't this council be worried about the effect a new regional shopping mall will have on the Sycamore Mall, or any other major retail area inside the corporate limits of Iowa City? In fact, if there is genuine concern among Iowa City business people and city officials about the effect a Coralville mall might have on Iowa City, then a more reasonable approach would be to entice the developer to build this project inside the corporate limits of Iowa City. The KXIC radio park at the northwest quadrant of the Dubuque Street interchange with Interstate 80 might provide an excellent alternate site. This location offers easy access to shoppers from Coralville and northern Johnson County while also reinforcing Dubuque Street as a major entry to Iowa City. t:\, \;::J Suggested Solutions Sell one or more garages to private owners , J (-- Result: Private entities responsible for meeting parking demands , ':, , '; ,( ~ Revenue implication: · One time gain-- $6 million to $12 million .

If the downtown merchants persist in their view that parking rates ought to be set as a tool for downtown retail promotion, instead of being set to gain a fair investment on the city's investment, then the city should actively explore the sale of one or more of its parking ramps to private entities whose sole purpose is to provide retail promotion. Potential buyers might include the management company that operates the shopping mall, the downtown association itself or some other entity.

During the council's reconsideration of this policy last year, the Parking Division estimated that the policy would cause parking revenues in the Capitol Street ramp to underperform budget estimates by about $44,000. Lifting the morning restriction should result in additional activity during the earlier part of the day in spaces now unavailable for public use. @ Convert Holiday Inn lot to one-hour metered parking Result: Provision of 73 more parking spaces which provide easy access to shoppers to stores fronting the Pedestrian Mall and businesses along Washington Street which are underserved by existing short-term parking. ;,1' Revenue implication: . $50,000 additional annual revenue This lot currently has 17 short-term meters and 73 permit parking spaces. The parking division will renew permits later this month, so action must be taken on this proposal immediately. Permit parkers should be moved to the lower level of the Dubuque Street ramp, with the entrance off Linn Street used exclusively by permit holders. The short-term lot should be patrolled aggressively to prevent long-term parkers from using these spaces. T'NoI' I~o~ ? ::)'''"'''',."'''',......"..,,'',,."...,.,.,.,'' ""'....1..'....

Revenue implication: . Unknown, perhaps as much as $100,000 annually ,I'~ . The city council's mistaken refusal to grant certain development incentives in connection with the proposed South Side Redevelopment District has resulted in several vacant storefronts on the southeast corner of Burlington and Clinton Streets. New development will eventually occur on this property. In the meantime, perhaps the landholder could be persuaded to clear these properties and lease the land to the city for use as a temporary lot for two or three years. This would allow the city more time to formulate plans to expand its parking system while offering the landholder the opportunity to generate revenue from property now standing vacant. , ". \"'\ '1,1'; ',1 'I I:, ,'.

OLD CAPITOL M' A' L' L Iowa City City Council Civic Center 410 East Washington Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Dear Council Members: June 9, 1994 ., The Old Capitol Mall Merchants Association would like to express our concern over the proposed parking ramp rate increase. As evidenced from comments made by Mayor Horowitz regarding Park and Shop at the June 7 City Council Meeting, we are constantly subject to various customer frustrations resulting from using the Downtown ramps. While we feel that the SEATS program is a valuable asset to the community, we would encourage the Council to find alternative funding for this program. We are strongly opposed to raising the rates, as this may be perceived by the public as another barrier to shopping downtown. . ., In light of the potential develop'ment of a Coralville mall, we feel it is time for the City Council to close ranks in support of commerce and the economic integrity of the Downtown Iowa City area. ( \ r:l ! We feel this proposal is both untimely and unnecessary.

This is an Amendment intended for the benefit of First Mennonile Church and, not an Amendment in the general public interest. , 2. The Amendment may make sense for churches In low density residential zones. Jeff Davidson's report uses as examples Church's located on Phoenix Drive, far east Washington Street, and Village Road. None of those churches are located near the University and none, to my knowledge, rent out parking spaces. 3. First Mennonite is located close to the University and rents out parking spaces. The only simitar example which comes readily to mind is St. Andrews Presbyterian Church on Melrose (this may be in University Heights.) 4. With the tree examples that Davidson used, he may be correct when he states 'I do not perceive the churches on these collector streets to be causing inappropriate traffic conditions. That same statement may be inappropriate or Incorrect with respect to First Mennonite. 5. This is not a circumstance like may churches which generate most of their traffic on Sundays, and perhaps Wednesday evenings. 6. No one has mentioned any traffic studies having recently been done on Myrtle or in that area, therefore no one really knows how much traffic flow through that area in a day and whether ('" the 'First Mennonite' Amendment to the Zoning Ordinance Is appropriate. \ ~ I i 1 , I 7. In fact, no one knows how much traffic will be generated because the church has not made clear how it intends to use Its expanded facilities, e.g., it referred to operations of an on premise day care in Its written appeal, but retracted those comments at the hearing before lhe Board of Adjustments. 8. The neighbors to the north of Myrtle avenue have successfully petitioned to have a traffic conlrol island Installed to IImiltrafflc to the very narrow roads north of Myrtle. It would appear inconsistent to increase the traffic flow on Myrtle while trying to decrease traffic directly north of that location. In summary I would appreciate some sort of traffic count and/or study to assess the Impact of this proposed change and would requeslthat be initiated and completed before further action is taken on this amendment. i I ~ "I Respectfully Frank Fleming .' ii:" 'j' ,j ~' I " ~~ 15\3 (C- , .:: ..__'.~m , _-:-1.1 ~",'." 7 1,"'''''" tI':" ':':":1' ,:-\\'" ~>I'>:',~""'" '"J.;<',''' ",,,',,.......,,..,...., I''','' ' ,,", ",':,'" ',', '; \,' ," '", ,\ "'j C. :,~;,." ,)1:':....
