       required to provide replacement parking to the extent possible prior to
       applying for zoning parking credits; b) mechanisms be put in place to ensure
       that property owners complete the zoning parking credit application and have
       a signed, recorded contract prior to issuance of a building permit; c) the new
       contract holders pay the existing rate as adopted in the General Fee
       Schedule until a study is completed involving the business community to
       determine the appropriate fee for the zoning parking credits.
       Recommendation of Planning Commission: On July 24, 2002, the
       Planning Commission considered the recommendation presented by staff
       and concurred with staff's recommendations by a vote of 6-2 with the

       those that currently exist;
       (c)     Strive for a policy to achieve equity as far as payment;
       (d)     Develop a fee schedule that includes a legal review of existing contracts

       caps of $200 and $400; and
       (e)     Approve an interim rate of $240 per year and complete a study as
       quickly as possible to determine the rates of existing and future contracts.
