TITLE
Recommendation to request City Attorney to prepare a resolution to set operating days and hours for Parking Meter Zones 1 and 1A, pursuant to Section 10.28.130 of the Long Beach Municipal Code, to Monday through Sunday, excluding holidays, during the hours of 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., for a maximum of two hours, at a rate of $1.00 per hour. (District 3)
DISCUSSION
City Council approval is requested for the preparation of a Resolution to set operating days and hours for Parking Meter Zones 1 and 1A within the Belmont Shore District, to Monday through Sunday, excluding holidays, during the hours of 10:00 am to 7:00 pm, for a maximum of two hours, at a rate of $1.00 per hour.
At its August 20, 2020 meeting, Belmont Shore Parking and Business Improvement Area Advisory Commission (BSPBIAAC) commissioners voted unanimously to increase the current parking meter fee from $0.75 to $1.00 per hour with no change to the existing operating hours, days, or time limit (Attachment A - BSPBIAAC Meeting Minutes). The fee has remained unchanged since Fiscal Year 2014 (FY 14) and this increase aligns with the City’s standard rate with other parking meter zones, which range from $1.00 to $2.00 per hour.
A portion of the revenues received through the Belmont Shore Parking Meter Revenue Fund support operational activities administered by the BSPBIAAC, such as parking meter maintenance, litter abatement, landscaping, and sidewalk pressurized steam cleaning. Any additional revenues can support enhancements to this area such as security patrol, infrastructure improvements (such as the recent 2nd Street median upgrade project), wayfinding and signage, and lighting.
This matter was reviewed by Deputy City Attorney Amy R. Webber and Budget Management Officer Rhutu Amin Gharib on March 2, 2021.
TIMING CONSIDERATIONS
City Council approval is requested on March 23, 2021, to allow timely rate-setting and implementation of the Parking Meter Zone 1 and 1A Resolution.
