TITLE
Recommendation to direct City Manager to research methods used by other cities to leverage private property for open and permitted public parking and return to the City Council in (60) days with recommendations for the City of Long Beach;
 
Direct City Manager to survey businesses and other properties in the Second Council District for opportunities to enter into cooperative parking agreements allowing residents to utilize unused lots for overnight parking; and
 
Request City Attorney to negotiate cooperative agreements with those businesses and property owners identified as likely candidates.
 
DISCUSSION
With most businesses operating during the hours of 8:OO am and 6:OO pm, several privately owned parking lots or spaces in the Second District sit vacant overnight. An opportunity exists to use those lots and spaces for residential overnight parking and enable businesses to serve as even better neighbors to those who patronize their business during the day.
