Isle of Palms city council to vote on parking rate changes

ISLE OF PALMS, S.C. (WCBD) – Isle of Palms City Council is expected to vote Tuesday on a resolution to raise rates for the municipal parking lots and street parking between 10^th and 14^th avenues.

City council said current rates have not been changed for a long period of time and that the proposed rates would help maintain the quality and availability of parking facilities, while also generating necessary funds for other city services.

The rate for on-street parking would be raised to $3 per hour. Rates for the municipal lots on Pavilion Drive would be $10 per vehicle for March and April, $15 during the week from Memorial Day through Labor Day, and $25 on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays.

Rates would go back down to $10 per vehicle in September and October.

A seasonal business parking permit would be made available for employees of Front Beach businesses for $60.

City council is expected to discuss and vote on the matter during their 6 p.m. meeting at city hall.
