(Ord. No. 2537 § 48 [17-364.1])

Notwithstanding Sections 12-4.5.b and 12-12.4, the Public Works Director is authorized to set special event parking meter rates between fifty ($0.50) cents per hour and ten dollars ($10.00) per hour within on-street parking meter zones and public off-street parking lots. The hourly parking meter rate cannot be greater than double that of the standard parking meter rate charged within the parking meter zone. A flat daily rate may be offered in lieu of an hourly rate so long as the flat daily rate does not exceed double that of the standard total daily charge according to the parking meter operating hours. The rates may be set during, and/or up to four (4) hours prior to, special events as designated by the Director in order to manage excessive parking demand, congestion, and traffic circling near those special events. For purposes of this section, a "special event" shall include athletic events, concerts, conventions, parades, street festivals, entertainment or cultural exhibitions or shows, or any other similar event that is expected to generate a significant, short-term demand for parking.
