in effect8-2108. - Hearing before commission.
The board of city commissioners shall consider the recommendation of the designated or established committee at a hearing, after public notice is given. After the hearing, the board of city commissioners may approve the proposed residential parking permit district, after the board considers the following:

B. That the proposed district consists of streets that are predominantly residential.
C. That at least 60% of the on-street spaces in the primary district area are occupied during peak times.
D. That establishing the district would increase access to available on-street parking to area residents, would reduce traffic congestion and would increase safety for pedestrians and occupants of vehicles.
E. That the size of the proposed district is sufficient to adequately address the problems identified and sufficient to minimize the transfer of the observed parking problems from one area to another.
F. That no other reasonable alternatives have been identified that are as likely to resolve the problems that have been established.
G. That the proposed district is located such that public transportation is reasonably available to assist in defraying the parking demand of adjacent employers, institutions, and non-resident parkers.
H. Any other factor that the board of city commission deems relevant under the circumstances.
