Petition to the City Council to investigate parking management and preservation of the Old Adobe Mission area of Old Town

We, the undersigned residents and business owners, do not want the historic and cultural aesthetics of the Old Adobe Mission and surrounding area to be degraded by the construction of a multi-story garage in front of the Mission. The Mission is a unique and culturally significant pre-World War Two building that the United States Department of Interior has placed on the National Register of Historic Places. We must protect the aesthetics of Scottsdale’s Historic Old Town.

We, the undersigned residents and business owners, petition the City Council to direct the City Manager to investigate whether adding a multi-story garage at the Brown Avenue Parking Corral is needed and whether alternative actions are sufficient for current and future parking needs, and to not approve a construction contract at this location untilthis investigation is completed and presented to the residents of Scottsdale to have not less than thirty days to consider its findings.

We petition theCity Council to direct the City Manager to use all appropriate investigative methods including the methods listed below:

A new independent 2025 parking and traffic study of the southeast and southwest quadrants of Old Town that also includes ridesharing service impact.

New research into better signs directing drivers to parking areas, electronic monitoring of parking to provide streetside real-time information to drivers, and

Making agreements with the owners of privately owned parking areas for public use of their facilities.
