City of Huntington Beach Page 1 of 1 Printed on 12/11/2019 powere `�A LegistarW 7 CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH CITY COUNCIL MEETING—COUNCIL MEMBER ITEMS REPORT TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: MIKE POSEY, CITY COUNCIL MEMBER DATE: DECEMBER 16, 2019 SUBJECT: DIRECTING STAFF TO DEVELOP UPDATES TO THE CITY'S ANNUAL BEACH PARKING PASS PROGRAM TO ALLOW FOR REDUCED- FEE DISABLED PASSES BACKGROUND Currently, the City coordinates a Beach Parking Pass program. Through that initiative, individuals who purchase a Beach Parking Pass are allowed to park, at no additional cost, in the following City facilities: ■ All beach parking lots from Beach Boulevard to the Pier ■ The Pier Plaza "Pay& Display" lots ■ Metered parking lots between Goldenwest Street and Seapoint Street ■ Metered parking spaces along Pacific Coast Highway ■ The parking lot adjacent to the Warner Avenue Fire Station where the boat ramp is located ■ The Main Promenade Parking Structure at 200 Main Street Of note, there also several current program restrictions, including: • The Beach Parking Pass does not allow for parking in the Strand Parking Structure ■ Passes are not valid for on-street parking between 10:30 pm and 5:00 am • Beach Parking Passes are only available for vehicles that are less than 20 feet in length Pursuant to the City's current fee schedule, Disabled Beach Parking Passes currently cost $75.00/year ($6.25/ month). Historically, the City has at times provided Disabled Beach Parking Passes at no cost, and I am requesting that the City Council consider directing staff to research possible program modifications that would result in Beach Parking Passes being made available at minimal to no-cost for our disabled residents. RECOMMENDED ACTION Based on my assessment of this overall situation, I am requesting that the City Council vote to direct staff to analyze and bring back in Q1-2020 modifications to the Beach Parking Pass program that would result in disabled residents being able to acquire no-cost or low-cost disabled Beach Parking Passes for formal City Council consideration. 754
