ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF AMENDMENT TO COASTAL PERMIT FOR PREFERENTIAL PARKING PROGRAM AND LETTERS FROM RESIDENTS REQUESTING CHANGES IN THE PREFERENTIAL PARKING PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION

Recommendation:

1. That the City Council receive the Notice of Intent to Issue an Amendment to Permit and direct the City Manager to execute it and return it to the Coastal Commission; and,
   
2. Provide direction to staff on how to implement the program.

Background:

The City Council approved changes in the Preferential Parking Program, operational hours of parking meters, installation of meters on upper Pier Avenue and elimination of the 2am to 6am parking prohibition without a permit.

An application was prepared and submitted to the Coastal Commission to amend our existing permit. The Commission approved, without any modifications, the program submitted by the City on April 7, 1998.

The execution of the acknowledgement is the last step in this process.

Several people in some of the areas included in the Preferential Parking area spoke at your last meeting requesting that the program not be changed in certain areas or changed in a way to be more flexible on a neighborhood-by-neighborhood basis. Staff would suggest that we meet with residents from the affected area to see if we can come up with a plan that meets each areas needs.
