PIER REGULATIONS

 

Recommendation:

That the City Council review the former and proposed regulations regarding the use of the Pier and direct staff to post appropriate signs.

 

Background:

The municipal code contains a number of regulations covering the Pier. A few of them do not seem to apply any longer. This would seem like a good time to review these regulations and make any changes that are appropriate. A sign program will be installed once we settle on any specific changes. Not all regulations will be posted on the signs.

The signs that were existing prior to the closure of the Pier read as follows:

• NO OVERHEAD CASTING
• NO DIVING
• NO ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES
• NO DOGS, CATS OR OTHER ANIMALS ON OR OFF LEASH
• NO SKATES, SKATEBOARDS, BICYCLES AND SCOOTERS

Suggested regulations to be on signs:

• NO OVERHEAD CASTING
• NO DIVING
• NO ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES
• NO DOGS ON OR OFF LEASH
• NO MOTORIZED SKATEBOARDS, BICYCLES OR SCOOTERS

Please review the attached material and provide direction to staff.

The Pier was closed at night when the old lights failed. The City Council action on this was approved for the duration of construction. If there is any interest in setting hours for use of the Pier, the City Council would need to determine them and formally act. As a precaution, we have closed the Pier at 10:00pm since it was reopened last Friday. It is reopened at 6:00am each day.

The Redondo Beach Pier and Manhattan Beach Pier have similar regulations. Both of these piers are open 24 hours a day.
