Public Hearings 6.1. Ordinance No. 15, Series of 2018, Second Reading, Ordinance amending Section 12-10-17 of the Vail Town Code to modify the regulations applicable to the Short-term leasing of private parking spaces Presenter(s): Chris Neubecker, Planning Manager Action Requested of Council: Town Council is asked to approve Ordinance No. 15, Series of 2018 on second reading. Background: The existing regulations on the leasing of parking spaces in the Town of Vail were first adopted in 1977, and the last significant modification was in 1985. The current regulations are obsolete, and have not resulted in significant applications to lease parking spaces. New technology can help to identify vacant, available parking spaces, but the existing regulations needs to be amended to facilitate, and in some cases legalize, short term leasing of parking. The proposed regulations will open additional areas where short term leasing of parking spaces is allowed, while protecting the character of low density residential neighborhoods. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of Ordinance No. 15, Series of 2018 on Second Reading. The Public Hearing was opened by Mayor Chapin and Chris Neubecker, Planning Manager, introduced the topic with highlights of the code amendments, including language changes, allowed zone districts, identification of new zone districts which would allow the leasing of parking spaces, language addressing electronic reservations, signage, . He noted the legislation was drafted to specifically exclude the residential outlying neighborhoods. No citizen comments were made.
