The purpose of the amendment to the law on Peculiarities of Local Payment of Motor Vehicle Parking and Administrative Procedure is to improve the process of organizing parking lots. The RA Deputy Minister of Territorial Administration and Infrastructure Armen Simonyan said about this.
“At present the process of definition of rates being used for organizing according to zoning and office parking is not regulated. It is designed by the draft law to reserve the peculiarities of the paid parking landmark to the RA Government,” the Deputy Minister informed.
The deputy Alkhas Ghazaryan inquired if there will be changes or not on the amount of payments by the adoption of the draft law.
Armen Simonyan noted that by law the amounts of maximum payments are already set, and in what case what kind of payment should be levied, it will be set by the decision of the Elders of Council of the community after carrying out relevant zoning.
