Key Issues  High Parking Demand  Unbalanced Parking Demand  Spillover  Lack of Consistent Parking Signage

Parking Plan Strategies  Administrative  User Information  Transportation Demand Management  Parking Management  Parking Enforcement  Create New Parking Supply  Amenities  Funding Mechanisms

Time Limit Restrictions  Limit the amount of time a vehicle can remain parked  15-minute limits in 1-2 stalls next to public restrooms  Considered, but not included in PMP  4-hour limits in surface lots  2-hour limits on streets  Related  Pick-up/drop-off zones

Pay-to-Park Program  Charge a fee for use of public facilities  Most effective way to manage parking demand  Create revenue source to maintain parking facilities  Can result in spillover onto adjacent streets Scenario # Fee Time Period Parking Area 1 $4 All Year Cape Kiwanda Lot & Beach Ramp 2 $4 All Year Cape Kiwanda Lot 3 $4 / $0 Peak Season / Off-Peak Season Cape Kiwanda Lot 4 $8 All Year Cape Kiwanda Lot 5 $8 / $4 Peak Season / Off-Peak Season Cape Kiwanda Lot 6 $0 All Year Cape Kiwanda Lot

Pay-to-Park Program  Recommendation: Kiwanda Access Fee o $4 daily fee o Annual Pass ($ TBD) o Permits parking in Cape Kiwanda Lot and/or vehicle access to beach  Notes o County Parks Annual Pass covers Kiwanda Access Fee o Committees considered free annual pass for locals and dory users Offering free passes would likely be considered discriminatory under the Oregon constitution

Implement Regular Enforcement  Most strategies require regular enforcement  Sheriff’s Office and/or Parking Manager  Emphasize peak summer months / Cape Kiwanda area

Reconfigure Parking Facilities  Eliminate open space  Improve efficiency  Provide striping  Provide paved surface and sidewalks (as feasible)  Cape Kiwanda  Bob Straub State Park  Pacific City Boat Launch  Fishers Point Boat Launch

Establish Remote Parking Areas  Establish remote parking areas outside of Cape area  Connect remote parking areas with local shuttle service  Provide low(er) cost option  Pacific City Boat Launch  Bob Straub State Park  Other

Define Roadway Shoulders  Clearly define where shoulder parking is allowed  Use signage, vegetation, and other physical constraints to reinforce where parking is allowed and prohibited  McPhillips Dr, Cape Kiwanda Dr, Circle Dr, Alder St, Shore Dr, Pine St, Madrona Dr

Implementation Plan  Parking Manager  Parking Advisory Committee  Enforcement Officer  Cost (one-time/annual)  Funding Mechanisms  Transient Lodging Tax  Pay-to-park  Local Improvement District  Economic Improvement District
