ITEM:
Discussion and possible action on any and all matters regarding Ordinance No. 393. An Ordinance of the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Luis, Arizona amending the City Code by amending Chapter 112, “Transportation Business Regulations” to provide for a border area and a system of issuance and regulation for border area vehicle permits to park at Taxi Stands or wait at Taxi Waiting Stands within said border area; amending the definition for Taxicab; renumbering certain sections within Chapter 112; repealing any conflicting provisions; providing for severability, and establishing an effective date. (Richard Jessup, Chief of Police, Angel Ramirez, Fire Chief and Eulogio Vera, Public Works Director)
SUMMARY:
Due to the congestion of vehicle traffic and pedestrian traffic in the border area of the Port of Entry #1 (POE1), staff is concerned for the safety of people traveling and walking through the area. Much of the congestion is due to the concentration of taxis and liveries in the border area of POE1.
The proposed ordinance seeks to make the area safer by creating a border area. The ordinance will limit the number of taxis and liveries solely in the border area. All other areas of the city will not be limited. For the safety of all of those in the area of POE 1, the ordinance limits the number of vehicles using the city's curbs and rights of way there. The ordinance does this by setting up a permitting system that allows only businesses who have a physical business and dispatch center in the City of San Luis and have a certain number of vehicles in service for that business.
