It's what a lot of other places have found. Free parking is often taken up by business employees, not customers. Two hour free or cheap parking is taken up by employees who swap spots. Properly priced parking means available spaces for customers and higher turnover.

Old Pasadena renovated by putting in parking meters and using the revenue for improvements. Westwood has (had?) free parking and has been decaying over the same period.
