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 on PCH from Beach Boulevard to the Pier • The Pier Plaza "Pay & Display" lots ■ Hourly parking lots between Goldenwest Street and Seapoint Street ■ Metered parking spaces along Pacific Coast Highway and Beach Boulevard ■ 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 Pursuant to the City's current fee schedule, Disabled Beach Parking Passes currently cost $75.00 / year ($6.25 / month). Recently, the City changed its policy regarding how handicap parking regulations are managed. To that end, I am requesting that the City Council consider directing staff to institute downtown parking program modifications that would result in those with a disabled parking placard being able to park in the City's beach parking lots along PCH and downtown parking structures for free. Recommended Action: Based on my assessment of the situation, I am requesting that the City Council vote to direct staff to institute parking program modifications that would allow those with a disabled parking placard to park for free in our beach parking lots located along PCH and our downtown parking structures.
