The

unanimously approved an agreement to add more paid parking spots in

on Wednesday after making amendments to address neighbors' concerns.

The

would enact changes by this spring, including placing pay stations at the parking lots next to the Oregon Zoo, which currently have a $4 day fee, and at most of the 400 spaces throughout the park that have no fee.

Parking will cost $1.60 per hour, $4 per day in the off-season and $6.40 per day during the summer peak season. Meter hours are not yet established.

The issue was not scheduled to include discussion Wednesday, just a vote, although four

members spoke before the council last week, inspiring commissioners to amend the agreement.

The primary concern for neighbors at a Nov. 28 City Council meeting was whether there had been sufficient public input. The ordinance says there was "an intensive public involvement process, which began approximately 18 months ago."

said there had been 23 public meetings on the issue but neighbors said they were on a related subject, not the agreement itself. Fish met with neighbors Monday to address concerns.
