entrepreneurs; and then explained Phase I for the courtyards. (See attached Pictures)
• The Discussion of the Walker Downtown Parking Strategy was the next Agenda item and
presented by Planning Director Hunter Simmons. He told the City Council that the
parking meter discussions go back to 1962 and then, off and on. He showed a photo of
the Fairhope Parking Deck from 2024 and then, a photo from 2026. Mr. Simmons noted
in both photos the parking deck was not full. He said education still needs to be done for
using our parking deck. (See attached Power Point Presentation) Council President
Conyers that the Parking Authority and Hunter Simmons for all of their hard work with
this issue. Councilmember Burrell said there were no surprises and it was a good report.
He commented that two-hour parking in Fairhope is not enough time for shopping and
going to a restaurant; it is more like four -hours plus. He stated on street parking is a
problem. Councilmember Gammon suggested a trolley car with air condition for the
CBD instead of the golf cart shuttle.
• City Treasurer Kim Creech addressed the City Council regarding Review General Fund

were current. Councilmember Gammon questioned Total Revenue; and mentioned
staffing that is budgeted but not hired will be looked at.
• Councilmember Burrell gave an update on the Fairhope Airport Authority; and
mentioned major improvements. He commented that businesses are coming to the Airport
Authority; and said he and Attorney Chris Williams are working on the eight acres for
Industrial Park given back to the City of Fairhope. He told the City Council to hold the
Airport Authority accountable and have them pledge money to the City.

Creating a Vision and Plan for
Improved Parking And Shared Short- to Long -Term Policies & Plans
Active Transportation Based on the workshops, walking audit and other events the following key policies/plans
Fairhope, Alabama emerged to support (over time) strengthening all spaces in downtown Fairhope.
Create and Adopt a Parking Management Plan
Review this plan and have existing downtown working groups secure support from all
business leaders (retail and building owners) to agree to create place out of this alley and
court. Top Fairhope leaders already understand the key role of parking to e p grow
downtown in a meaningful way. Meanwhile, there are distractors who recall a time when
parking was in abundance, and they seek a return to these days, where anyone could park
anywhere at any time. A successful downtown seeks to have a downtown parking problem.
Thriving shops and a vital working downtown require a parking master plan and high level
management of parking as a scarce resource. This study was a quick master plan, and over
time the ideas presented here, put in motion, will help explore added solutions. j
r a w uorkabl dp�•, to yn n�rkin� mana�r*+pn nl-n„ d� c�mp�- g
Today many shop owners and staff take up the most convenient parking spaces in front of
their own shop, or nearby. Many occupy these spaces many hours each day. Agreement is
needed that these convenience parking spaces are to be managed, reserved primarily for
shoppers. If spaces can be turned over 4-8 times per day, and especially in key locations 16
times a day, each parking space provides a value of up to $200,000 per year.

Adopt "Parking Fees"
Stakeholders emphasized that they want 'growth to pay its fair share' when it came to parking.
A Parking Fee would:
■ Build on existing transportation impact fees
■ Provide voluntary options for developers.
■ Generate revenue that flows to Parking Authority Enterprise Fund for parking & streetscape improvements
Developers have the following parking options:
1) Developer can provide their own parking; parking study required and approved by Planning Staff
2) Developer can lease parking from Parking Authority; shared parking guidelines apply; ongoing agreement with
recurring payments at market rate
3) Developer can pay one-time Parking Impact Fee; lump sum contribution to Parking Authority Enterprise Fund to
offset demand on Authority parking assets
• Parking fee vanes depending on estimated parking demand/type
• Reductions can apply for adaptive reuse, pedestrian infrastructure, historic preservation, etc.)
