Customer Removal of Vehicle Immobilization Devices – January 11, 2022 City of Austin Transportation Department A Brief Overview of Private Vehicle Immobilization (Booting): • The City of Austin currently regulates privately owned vehicle immobilization companies under Chapter 13-7 of City Code and the City’s adopted vehicle immobilization rules. • Vehicle immobilization services are intended to reduce unauthorized parking activities within privately owned parking lots throughout the City. • Currently, there are four companies licensed to perform private vehicle immobilization services within the City. • Personnel who engage in vehicle boot installation and removal are required to pass a criminal history background check and receive a permit from the Austin Police Department. • Currently, companies are required by City Code § 13-7-42 to remove a boot, in exchange for the vehicle immobilization fee, not later than one hour after the time the owner or operator of the vehicle contacts the licensee responsible for installation of the boot to request removal of the boot. Requested: Optional Removal of Boot by Customer • • • In October of 2021, a licensed booting company in Austin requested authorization to allow customers the option of removing a boot from their own vehicle for the purposes of convenience and timely service. In September of 2021, the Austin Transportation Department met with vehicle immobilization company representatives to discuss the processes and details associated with a customer removal option. In November of 2021, the Austin Transportation Dept. then met with The Austin Police Dept. and the Austin Law Dept. to discuss the processes and details associated with a customer removal option. Optional Removal of Boot by Customer: How it Works Currently, when a boot is installed upon a vehicle, it is required that a notice be conspicuously adhered to the windshield or driver-side window containing information whereby the driver may contact the booting company to arrange for removal. STEP 1: The driver may then request the company remove the boot or elect to remove the boot themselves. STEP 2: If the driver elects company removal of the boot, a representative of the booting company must remove the boot within one hour of the request. STEP 3: If the driver elects self-removal of the boot, the booting company will provide the customer with a code to unlock the booting device once the booting fee has been paid. The driver shall then remove the boot and return it to a …
City of Austin Urban Transportation Commission Proposed Resolution on Coordinating Transportation and Land Use Plans January 11, 2022 WHEREAS the bylaws of the Urban Transportation Commission require the Commission to “Seek to promote close cooperation between the city council, other city boards and commissions, city departments, and individuals, institutions, and agencies concerned with transportation‐related activities” WHEREAS the Strategic Mobility Plan’s Land Use Policy 1 states the goal: Plan and promote transit‐ supportive densities along the Transit Priority Network, and further requests: Use all planning tools to establish transit‐supportive densities along Transit Priority Network corridors WHEREAS Project Connect high capacity services are part of the Transit Priority Network and Project Connect engineering has proceeded to the point at which the specific routes for high capacity service have been determined WHEREAS the location of these routes now needs to be taken into consideration in all land use decisions including the recommendations made by the Planning Commission and the Zoning and Platting Commission THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Urban Transportation Commission requests that Council take actions and adopt policies to ensure that all boards and commission involved in land use decisions are aware of both the adopted Strategic Mobility Plan land use policies and the final Project Connect routes The UTC recommends that Council take the following actions: Request that the Planning Department prepare rankings into major groups of the potential of each of the current zoning classifications for achieving transit supportive density. In addition to considering the maximum number of units per square mile permitted under these classifications, the rankings should also consider current usage practices for each classification. Request that whenever the Planning Commission or the Zoning and Platting Commission considers a case that is along the Transit Priority Network and recommends a classification which is significantly lower in the ranking than the one requested by the applicant, they be asked to include the specific considerations which caused them to prefer the lower ranked zoning in their recommendation to Council. Request that the Planning Department annually supply Council and the Planning and Zoning and Platting commissions with maps showing current residence and employment density along Project Connect routes and the change over the last five years. The maps should be made at fine enough level of detail, such as census block groups, so that the potential impact of land use changes can be estimated. In any consideration …
