The Downtown Public/Private Valet Parking Services license agreement allows LouRonzo’s to utilize 3 designated “loading zone” parking spaces on the east side of SE Colorado Avenue adjacent to LouRonzo’s Restaurant for the purpose of providing valet parking for its operation. In return, LouRonzo’s provides valet parking services to downtown visitors on their private parking lots as shown on the map in the attached License Agreement.
The agreement allows LouRonzo’s to charge $5 per car to any downtown visitors going to other shops or restaurants and provide complimentary valet service to its customers. The valet service will be provided throughout the year, Monday thru Sunday in the evenings from 4:00 PM – 12:00 AM. At all other times, the valet drop-off location will be used as the loading zone area.
LouRonzo’s will pay a flat fee of $150 per month (annual fee of $1,800) to the City to utilize the three “Loading Zone” parking spaces adjacent to the restaurant for valet drop-off location. Typically, the City charges monthly rental fee of $121 per parking space for the outdoor dining program on public property. However, the valet parking license agreement allows LouRonzo’s to pay discounted fee in exchange for providing valet service to downtown visitors at the south end of the historic district.
This license agreement with LouRonzo’s will allow the City to continue to provide valet service on the south end of the historic district, in additional to the recently approved Downtown Valet Parking Services Pilot Program on the City Hall parking lot and parking spaces behind the annex building. The valet programs eliminate hassle of finding parking, increase parking supply and enhance the parking experience for downtown visitors during the busy peak season. LouRonzo's is currently using 'The Parking Solution', which is the same valet service provider that the City will be using for the Downtown Valet Parking Pilot Program, to provide valet services in downtown. Both valet programs are no cost to the City. It allows to effectively manage parking and generate additional revenue for the City.
