AUTHORIZING AND DIRECTING PREPARATION OF AN UPDATED FEE
NEXUS STUDY RELATED TO DOWNTOWN PARKING IN LIEU FEES
WHEREAS, The Town has long recognized that in order for the downtown to succeed,
it is critical to ensure that adequate infrastructure, particularly public parking, is in place
to support private reinvestment and redevelopment of commercial properties within the
downtown; and
WHEREAS, Policy 4.02 of the 2030 General Plan states that the Town should "ensure the
provision of sufficient and adequately distributed parking within the Downtown area to
help promote an economically viable Downtown Business District;" and
WHEREAS, land uses in Danville's downtown area are controlled by the Downtown
Business District (the "DBD") of the Town's zoning ordinance (Chapter 32-45 of the
Danville Municipal Code); and
WHEREAS, The DBD is divided into 13 different districts, each with different
development and parking standards; and
WHEREAS, in districts 1, 2, 2A, 3 and 11 of the DBD, owners can rely at least in part on
public parking to satisfy their parking demand by paying an in lieu fee; and
WHEREAS, the amount of that fee ($3,500 per space for retail uses and $7,000 per space
for other uses) has not been increased in at least 20 years; and
WHEREAS, the Town has determined that the actual cost to provide a new parking
space in the downtown greatly exceeds the amount of the parking in lieu fee currently
authorized by the DBD; and
WHEREAS, it is both timely and appropriate to review and evaluate the parking in lieu
fee to ensure the provision of sufficient and adequately distributed parking within the
Downtown area; now therefore be it
RESOLVED, that the Danville Town Council hereby authorizes and directs the Town
Manager to undertake an updated fee nexus study related to downtown parking in lieu
fees.
