Council bosses are set to press ahead with new charges at six car parks after being challenged to reconsider the move.
It means free parking will be scrapped at sites in Wetherby, Horsforth, Garforth, Rothwell and Guiseley.
Leeds City Council said the new fees would help plug a multi-million pound gap in its finances.
But a public backlash led to a successful appeal by councillors for the decision to be reviewed.
Now the original decision is expected to be confirmed by the council’s executive board at a meeting on Wednesday (December 11).
A report to the meeting said the council faced a potential overspend over more than £20m so far this financial year.
The new charges were expected to raise £335,000 per year in revenue, but the annual income could be higher, the report suggests.
It said: “If the proposals are not progressed, this would place a further pressure on next year’s budget amounting to £414,000.”
A “call-in” of the charges proposal, meaning it was referred for reconsideration, was approved by a council scrutiny board on November 21.
A report setting out how councillors’ concerns were addressed will be discussed at Wednesday’s meeting.
Worries included drivers parking on roads around the car parks to avoid paying.
Councillors said the charges could trade for businesses in district centres and were concerned over whether people were consulted properly.
Under the plans, blue badge holders would be exempt from payments. Motorists would get up to one hour for free, then pay £1.15 for two hours, rising to a daily maximum of £3.65. Weekly tickets would cost £12.15.
