67A.910 Declaration of public need and legislative policy.
(1)
(2)
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.
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.
