More time is needed to receive responses before he makes a recommendation. From the floor, David Curtis stated his company has 50-60 employees and 20 trucks. His facility was built years ago and no longer provides enough off- street parking. Hertz is a major contributor to on-sffeet parking use. Color Copy's employees/customers also park on the street since they lease their lot of 100+ spaces to Hertz. Steve Karp stated that the City's Compliance Enforcement Officer has been checking out this situation. He stated a 4-hour parking limit would be good and suggested the restriction be implemented when street constnrction is completed in approximately three weeks. Permit parking was discussed as a solution but requires hiring more enforcement personnel. This will be a Discussion Item next month to allow enough time for responses to the public notice. Comm. Auran stated that this is a period of change with the SFO Airport expansion and BART construction. Sgt. Tokarski stated that with BART, there will be a major spillover of parked cars in this area and recommended a long-term solution. Comm. Mayer suggested a Master Plan be considered for this area regarding future use. It was moved and seconded (Comms. Mayer/Auran) to recommend to City Council to have this commercial area surveyed for the coming of BART for a Master Plan on Parking and look to adding parking enforcement personnel.
