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.
