Explanation
This ordinance enacts and amends Columbus City Codes to provide for changes in Title 2 - Administrative Code and Title 21 - Traffic Code.
With passage of Ordinance 2105-2013 on September 23, 2013, Columbus City Council approved a one-year car-sharing pilot program. The pilot was recommended by the Columbus Transportation and Pedestrian Commission, and received support from many civic associations, business associations and area commissions in the area proposed for the pilot. The Department of Public Service monitored the performance of the pilot and submitted Ordinance 2029-2014 recommending Columbus City Code be amended to allow the Director of Public Service to promulgate rules and regulations and administer annual permits to allow car-sharing service. That Ordinance was approved by Council on September 22, 2014.
The current Ordinance, 1189-2018, will establish the Division of Parking Services within the Department of Public Service. It also further defines and clarifies parking and car-sharing rules and regulations and establishes three new parking infraction fines. The list of Parking Infraction Fines and the changes to Title 2 and to Title 21 are included in the attachment to this Ordinance. The clarifications to the rules and regulations along with implementing the new parking infraction fines are to be effective as 30-day legislation. The establishment of the Division of Parking Services (sections 219.033 and 219.034) is not to be effective until December 16, 2018.
