CORORATE REORT NO: R222 COUNCIL DATE: November 19, 218 REGULAR COUNCIL TO: Mayor & Council DATE: November 15, 218 FROM: General Manager, Engineering FILE: 548-1 SUBJECT: Free : City Hall arkade and Surrey Memorial Hospital RECOMMENDATION The Engineering Department recommends that Council: 1. Receive this report for information; and 2. Approve the recommendations for 2-hour free parking at the City Hall arkade and onstreet parking surrounding Surrey Memorial Hospital; and 3. Authorize the City Clerk to bring forward the necessary amendment bylaw for the required readings. INTENT The purpose of this report is to formalize Council s commitment to implement free parking at City Hall and Surrey Memorial Hospital, advise Mayor and Council regarding current parking management, and introduce the required bylaw amendments. BACKGROUND The City operates off-street pay parking facilities and on-street metered parking spaces throughout the City. ay parking creates parking turnover which ensures parking availability, thereby improving the ability to conveniently access businesses and institutions. It also generates revenue that supports management of parking and other transportation programs in the City. The City Hall parkade was constructed under the Build Surrey rogram and was intended to provide parking for City Centre Library, City Hall, and 3 Civic laza, which includes the Civic Hotel and Kwantlen olytechnic University (KU). In addition to supplying parking for these facilities, the parkade was also intended to serve other institutional and business development that will occur in the City Centre. Given its central location and the mixed-use nature of the parkade (municipal and general public use for the City Centre area), the City established the parkade as a pay-parking facility and created a self-funded Utility to manage the facility, as well as all other City on and off-street parking assets. This allowed the City to provide a quality parking facility in the City Centre area without the capital and operating costs being funded from City tax revenues.
- 2 - The City operates on-street pay parking throughout the city. City-wide, there are approximately 947 metered on-street parking spaces, generally concentrated around City Centre, Surrey Memorial Hospital, and the City s four SkyTrain stations. Although some cities utilize pay parking as an important revenue source, Surrey has not taken this approach and instead optimizes its parking rates based on ensuring turnover and parking space availability for high demand locations. Metered on-street parking generates approximately $88, in annual revenue for the City of Surrey. City Hall arkade Supply The City Centre parkade has 827 parking spaces over three levels. There are 216 parking spaces on 1, with 165 of these are available to the general public. There are 611 parking spaces located on 2 and 3 combined that are available for employees and the public. On 2 and 3, 149 spaces are reserved for fleet vehicles, carpool, EV charging, and under lease agreements with Century Group (Civic Hotel) and Kwantlen olytechnic University (KU). The remaining 462 parking spaces are available to employees and the general public. All employees pay for parking on either an hourly, daily or monthly basis. Surrey Memorial Hospital Supply The City operates 13 on-street pay parking spaces in the immediate vicinity of Surrey Memorial Hospital. There are an additional 2,41 off-street parking spaces in the area adjacent to the cityowned on-street parking that are operated by Fraser Health or private companies. The on and off-street parking surrounding the hospital is illustrated in Appendix II. Management The City employs a number of parking management techniques to reduce the demand for parking and ensure adequate parking supply and turnover. Best practices in parking management recommend setting prices so that approximately 15% of parking spaces are unoccupied during peak periods, thus ensuring an adequate supply for visitors at all times (i.e. 85% occupancy). in public and private parking facilities surrounding City Hall and the Surrey Memorial Hospital is all pay-parking. On-street parking in the immediate vicinity is either time-restricted or pay parking. A summary of all City owned or operated off-street pay parking locations in City Centre is provided in Appendix III. As such, unregulated free parking would result in the use of the City Hall parkade and on-street hospital parking by people seeking to avoid pay parking elsewhere, such as construction workers, hospital/office workers, mall employees, park-and-ride users, condo owners/visitors, hotel guests, and others. Time restricted free parking with enforcement will ensure parking turnover and should eliminate use of the parking stalls by workers and park-and-ride users. The Utility expenditures include debt repayment for the City Hall parkade, parking management, parking enforcement, and capital, maintenance and replacement costs for all parking infrastructure. Introducing free parking at any existing pay parking locations will reduce the funding available for these expenses.
- 3 - All existing on-street and off-street parking fee rates are included in the Surrey Fee-Setting Bylaw (Bylaw No. 14577) and thus any changes must be approved by Council. DISCUSSION The following section outlines the approach and considerations in implementing Council s commitment for free parking at the City Hall arkade and the on-street pay parking adjacent to Surrey Memorial Hospital. The recommended approach for each location is based on incorporating parking duration restrictions of 2 hours, which is based on the need to create turnover and ensure that parking spaces will be available for visitors, as discussed under the Management Section above. Furthermore, parking records show that most vehicles at these locations currently park for less than 2 hours. City Hall arkade To achieve Council s commitment for free visitor parking at City Hall and the Library while trying to ensure that parking spaces will be available, parking would be free for 2 hours for all or a portion of 1 during City Hall/Library hours of operation. Limiting free parking to 2 hours is necessary to discourage external users, such as park-and-ride, from using the parking stalls. 2 and 3 would remain as pay parking for employees and the public. After-hours and weekend pay parking rates would remain in effect to support use by park-and-ride traffic to Vancouver events, hotel guests, restaurant traffic, and other users as a means of generating revenue to support the Utility operations. There should be sufficient turnover to accommodate the expected demand for visitor parking and the current level of parking available for City Hall employees would remain. Annual pay parking revenues would be reduced by an estimated $49,. Surrey Memorial Hospital (SMH) To achieve Council s commitment for free visitor parking at the hospital while trying to maintain the ability of hospital visitors to find an on-street parking space, parking would be limited to a maximum 2 hours for all of the street parking within the Hospital Zone illustrated in Appendix II. To ensure parking supply turnover and to prevent all-day occupancy by hospital staff and park-and-ride users, regular parking enforcement will be required. Annual pay parking revenues would be reduced by an estimated $36,.
- 4 - SUSTAINABILITY CONSIDERATIONS The supply and management of parking assists in achieving the objectives of the City s Sustainability Charter 2. by supporting the following Desired Outcomes ( DO ): Built Environment & Neighbourhoods DO9: All aspects of planning, design and construction include climate change impacts, greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation, adaptation, and resiliency strategies. Infrastructure DO11: An integrated and multi-modal transportation network offers affordable, convenient, accessible and safe transportation choices within the community and to regional destinations. CONCLUSION Free parking for visitors to City Hall and the Surrey Memorial Hospital can be implemented through 2-hour time limited free parking. This will discourage workers and other non-visitors from parking in these spaces, thereby maximizing the chances of visitors finding an available parking space. Implementation of the recommended time limited free parking will reduce the annual revenue available for the Utility by $85,. The Engineering Department recommends that Council: 1. Receive this report for information; and 2. Approve the recommendations for 2-hour free parking at the City Hall arkade and onstreet parking surrounding Surrey Memorial Hospital; and 3. Authorize the City Clerk to bring forward the necessary amendment bylaw for the required readings.
