Parking Board to gather more analysis and present options to Downtown Association
Summary
After extensive public comment, the board asked staff to develop a six‑month analysis of parking revenue levers and to present updated options to the San Jose Downtown Association before returning for further board consideration.
Following the public hearing, the Chair and board members thanked participants and directed staff to return with additional analysis. The Chair emphasized parking should be treated as an enterprise business with multiple levers to rationalize revenue and expenses.
Staff confirmed several elements are already budgeted and explained the mix of levers considered, including time extensions, event rates and concession of garage free time. The Chair said staff would present updated materials to the San Jose Downtown Association next Thursday at 08:30 and invited the public to apply for several open parking‑board seats.
No formal vote was taken; board members said they will continue public engagement and modeling before any recommendation to the city council.
