San Diego City Council Approves Revised Valet Parking Fees: Balancing Revenue and Business ViabilityThe San Diego City Council has approved a revised plan to raise valet parking fees for restaurants and hotels, aiming to generate revenue and close the city's budget deficit. The new fees apply to valet services using metered parking spots within city limits. Initially proposing a massive increase, the council revised the plan after industry pushback, allowing up to four valet spots and significantly reducing costs. The first two spots cost $5,000, while the third and fourth cost $7,500 outside the special event area and $10,000 within. Critics worry about increased costs for visitors, but supporters believe the revised plan strikes a better balance between revenue and business viability.
