Status: in_force

67A.910 Declaration of public need and legislative policy.

(1) It is hereby found and declared that there now exists in urban counties in this

Commonwealth a lack of parking space for automobiles in main business and

professional areas including but not limited to those areas commonly referred to as

"downtown". It is further found that persons commonly referred to as "shoppers",

are induced to transact business in areas providing free parking facilities for

reasonable lengths of time. It is further found that many "downtown" or main

business areas have deteriorated as a consequence of inadequate or too costly

parking facilities and that the tax base has often decreased while the need for

governmental services, such as police, fire, and accident protection and street

maintenance has often increased all to the detriment of the entire community.

(2) It is hereby declared that it is the policy of this Commonwealth to protect and

promote the safety, comfort, convenience, and welfare of the people of the

Commonwealth and particularly of the communities in which there exists

inadequate or too costly parking in "downtown" or main business areas and in

which the tax base is decreasing or is threatened. It is further declared that adequate

and reasonably priced parking facilities promote the safety, comfort, convenience

and welfare of the people living and working in all sections of any community but

that the greatest benefit falls upon property owners, businesses, and professional

persons owning property or offering their goods and services in close proximity to

such parking facilities.
