Session 1825 November 19, 2001 why we should. Doesn't the developer have to have ownership of the property prior to rezone? Mayor Adams stated that he could only assume since we have the request to rezone before us, that the developer has an option. AGENDA ITEM #2: RESIDENTIAL PARKING RESTRICTIONS -70XX PERSHING: The Traffic Commission recommends approval of a request from residents in the 70XX block of Pershing Ave. to add the hours of 10:00 am to 2:00 pm to their residential permit parking program. Currently parking is restricted in this block from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. to vehicles with residential parking permits. The City code limits the residential permit parking to a maximum of six consecutive hours each day. The next step for City Council to approve this request is to introduce a bill amending the City code to allow up to eight hours restricted parking daily and dropping the consecutive requirement. Any member of Council may request preparation of a bill. Mr. Wagner reported that this was the first block that the City applied this ordinance to in order to institute residential permit parking. Embedded at the end of this residential street is a very small commercial center that has very limited parking. The problem came when a restaurant was approved for the corner of Big Bend and Forest Park Parkway. The customers overflowed into the neighborhood. It was reasonable to approve this six hour limit, which the residents could pick. They picked 6 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. The new problems that is occurring is from the nearby construction of the 400 room dormitories that Washington University is building, which is cattycorner to this commercial center. During the construction period, the workers would come and park on their block during the day. He, personally, had seen up to ten trucks parked on this street that belonged to the construction crews. This phase is about over, but the problem will become the students that tend to use this street as a parking lot. Metrolink will most likely cause them trouble. He concurs with the Traffic Commission's recommendation to extend the restricted hours to eight and drop the consecutive hour requirement. Mr. Wagner requested that the requested legislation be prepared. Mr. Lieberman asked Mr. Wagner, being liaison to the Traffic Commission, if the residents wished to retain the 6:00 p.m. to 10 p.m. restriction. He doesn't think it is needed anymore. Mr. Wagner said that it did come up and was discussed. The residents would like to keep those hours and then tailor it to with the additional 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. during the day.
