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. Effective: June 19, 1976
