Background
On January 4, 1999, staff received a request for a special
event permit from the SBSPDC to hold their 5th Annual Saint
Patrick's Day Parade and Festival.
Attachments B-D contain the event outline, budget and site
plans.
Analysis
The parade staging area will be located on Valley Drive from
Pier Avenue to 8th Street using:
- City Hall Parking Lot,
- Valley Drive,
- the Greenbelt, and
- beyond 8th Street on the Greenbelt Parking Lot.
This staging area will reduce the need for traffic control on
the north side of town and will enhance residential access on
Valley Drive.
The parade route will begin on Pier Avenue at Valley Drive
and will proceed west bound to Hermosa Avenue where it will
turn southbound (on the East Side of Hermosa Avenue) and end
at 8th Street.
- Staff recommends that vendor booths and the festival be
located as follows:
-
- Public Beach area adjacent to the pier (north).
- Hermosa Avenue from Pier Avenue to 10th Street (south)
and 14th Street (north).
- 11th Street west of Hermosa Avenue to Beach Drive and
one-half (½) of Parking Lot A.
Fiscal Impact: $5,000 allocation from the Downtown
Enhancement Fund
$2,000 allocation from Proposition A Funds
$ 300 Administration Fee deposited into the General
Fund
Direct costs for Police, Fire and Public Works to be
reimbursed by
SBSPDC.
