Staff Report
REPORT 22-0067
Background:

The Parking Management Study and Recommended Parking Standards for the Coastal Zone (Parking Study) was accepted by the City Council in late 2019, including 12 recommendations with actions to be completed (Attachment A2). Progress has been made on many of these recommendations, but this is the first comprehensive review since December 2019 when the recommendations were accepted by the City Council. The Parking Study is part of the City’s efforts to achieve full certification of a Local Coastal Program fully funded through a grant from the California Coastal Commission. The City submitted the study recommendations, along with the Mobility Element in October 2021, as a first step in the City’s efforts to have a fully certified Local Coastal Program with the Coastal Commission.

Past Council Actions
Meeting Date Description
June 6, 2018 The City Council held a Budget Workshop, including a Five -Year Financial Forecast, including recommendations for increased citation fines. At that time, the City Council requested a survey for all parking violations.

December 17, 2019 The City Council accepted the Coastal Zone Parking Assessment Study recommendations; Directed staff to return to Council and the applicable City Commissions with the related implementation actions for each of the near - term recommendations ; and Directed staff to incorporate the policy recommendations into the Draft Local Coastal Program and, if appropriate, draft an amendment to the City’s Coastal Development Permit for the Preferential Parking Program and Remote Beach Park and Ride System.

September 14, 2021The City Council approved amending and updating the City’s Certified Coastal Land Use Plan, focused on the Mobility Element, and authorized submittal to the California Coastal Commission.

September 28, 2021The City Council requestedthat City Parking Programs and Parking Management be discussed at a future meeting.

Discussion:

At its September 28, 2021 meeting, City Council requested a review of the City’s parking programs be placed on a future City Council agenda. Parking was originally scheduled as part of the revenue study session, but after the request by the City Council, it was scheduled for a standalone study session. The parking study session allows time to review current information and have a full discussion on the multi-faceted parking issues without the pressure of moving on to other topics at the revenue study session.

Staff Report
REPORT 22-0067
Part A-review of Coastal Zone Parking Management Study Recommendations In 2019, the City received a grant from the California Coastal Commission to conduct technical studies and develop a draft Coastal Land Use Plan and Implementation Plan that covers a range of topics from sea level rise, overnight accommodations, and parking resources. The Coastal Zone Parking Management study evaluates current parking resources, programs, and opportunities to improve the availability of Coastal Zone parking resources in a manner that balances coastal access requirements with efficient use of the City’s limited land resources and achievement of the City’s economic development and mobility goals.

The Parking Study extensively reviewed the existing conditions and various parking programs to make parking management recommendations. Attachment A1 summarizes progress made on the twelve recommendations.

The goals of the Parking Study were to:

1. Create a parking system that meets the parking needs and demands of residents, visitors, and employees in an efficient and cost-effective manner;

2. Modify parking standards to encourage revitalization and investment in a pedestrian-oriented district; and

3. Expand mobility options and optimize parking availability.

The parking management recommendations vary in cost, level of difficulty, priority, implementation timeline, recommended zones for implementation, and relation to study goals. These recommendations require initiatives involving several City departments.

As part of the City’s effort to update the Local Coastal Plan (Land Use Plan or LUP), the City submitted the Mobility Element of the General Plan to the California Coastal Commission in October 2021, after City staff and Commission staff agreed to begin the Local Coastal Program review and approval process with the policies of the Mobility Element. This is a major step toward the goal of obtaining an approved Local Coastal Program. Staff revised the Mobility Element to include Parking Study recommendations.

The existing Local Coastal Plan (Land Use Plan or LUP) was adopted and certified in 1981 and has been revised periodically since that time, most recently in 2004. A link to the City’s Local Coastal Plan (Land Use Plan or LUP) is included as Attachment A3. The City has never achieved full certification of a Local Coastal Program, which also must include an Implementation Program (IP).

Staff Report
REPORT 22-0067
Implementation of an App-Based Mobile Pay System
Parking efficiencies can be improved with the Parking Study recommendation of an application-based mobile pay system. The Parking Study noted that most existing payment systems are antiquated resulting in circling around high-demand areas. After parking, drivers must leave their car and check the meter before they would know the cost of parking in that space. After a driver pays with coins or card, users with longer visits tend to need to return to the car and “feed the meter” if they wished to stay longer. Drivers are also compelled to find a new parking space if they have hit the hours restriction or cut their visit short. Implementing an application-based mobile pay system for parking would allow drivers to more easily locate open spaces, know the price of the space in real-time, and be able to pay for the parking space from anywhere. There are wide-ranging benefits with minor infrastructure changes for implementing a mobile payment system.

The Community Services Division has recently released a Request for Proposal (RFP) for this service and is currently reviewing proposals from parking vendors to implement this recommendation. A mobile payment system would also provide parking data to better inform future parking rate adjustments discussions.

During the past 18 months, the Community Services Division has continued work to improve the existing parking meter infrastructure, despite pandemic staffing issues and supply chain constraints.

There are approximately 500 coin-only meters remaining and the full replacement project should be completed within 2023. Telecommunications vendors (e.g., T-Mobile and Verizon) have informed our meter vendor that the transition from 2G/3G technology will also be moving forward in 2023, despite pandemic supply chain issues. The City currently has approximately 400 meters that utilize 2G/3G technology requiring upgrades. City Council’s past approval of meter purchases for the current fiscal year will allow the meter upgrade to occur but integrating the 2G/3G upgrade has slowed the replacement plan for the coin only meters.

The application-based mobile pay system would help the City implement the Parking Study recommendation of a demand-based parking program that adjusts rates and regulations to make it as easy as possible for users to find a parking space. The main goal is to ensure consistent availability of parking spaces, while distributing parking demand throughout the Coastal Zone. Ideally, this demand-based program would allow off-street parking, such as those in the City lots and the parking structure, to be a cheaper long-term option as opposed to using on-street spaces for long-term parking. Alternatively, on-street parking should be available as a short-term parking solution.

Demand-based pricing or adjustments to time restrictions may also be considered as an alternative to certain time limits placed on different parking spaces to generate optimal turnover of parking spaces. The Parking Study suggests the City should price public parking assets at a lower rate for centralized locations in order to promote a “Park once/walk many” environment.

Street Metered and Public Parking Lot Meters
Metered and pay-by-space parking is available for $1.25 per hour (daily 8:00 a.m. or 10:00 a.m., depending on location, to 8:00 p.m.) and $1.50 per hour (daily 8:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m.) in City lots, the downtown parking structure, and along streets and alleys. A survey of meter and lot rate comparisons with other cities is included as Attachment B1.

The history of meter rate increases is described in the following table:

Meter Rates – History of Rate Increases
Year of Last Increase Rate
2001 $.75/hour
2003 $1.00/hour
2010 $1.25/hour
2016 $1.50/hour
D emand pricing implemented from 8pm to 2 am for
Upper Pier Avenue, Hermosa Avenue, Lots A, B, D and
silver meters
Lots A and C, which had previously been closed due to the pandemic, changed to three hours maximum as part of temporary emergency orders. At its July 28, 2020 meeting, City Council approved the reopening of these lots with three-hour maximums in recognition of pandemic concerns. Parking was previously 24 hours.

Parking Citation Fines
Another parking management solution is to review parking citation fines. If fines are too low, the cost may not be a deterrent to comply with parking regulations. During the 2019 City Council Budget Workshop, staff recommended the consideration of select citation fine increases. At that time, Council requested a survey of parking citation fines in other cities be compiled. A summary survey and a detail survey to compare parking citation fines with other cities are included as Attachments B2 and B3.

The parking citation amounts have been increased or amended only a few times since June 2008.

Those increases or changes are described in the following table:

Staff Report
REPORT 22-0067
Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Spaces
Council previously authorized the waiver of parking meter fees at silver post meters for 100 percent alternative fuel vehicles and the provision of complimentary electric vehicle charging at most stations throughout the City. This incentive was initially approved in April 2010 and re-authorized by Council in November 2019. The current policy does not include a mechanism to verify that a vehicle meets the criteria, such as a DMV issued current clean air vehicle decal, making enforcement by Community Service Officers difficult. Demand for EV parking and charging has increased dramatically since 2010, and community members are sometimes unable to find available EV charging spaces in the most popular locations.

Currently, all Level 2 stations in Hermosa Beach are available for free charging up to two hours. The Level 3 station located on the top floor of Lot C Downtown parking structure currently requires payment to charge. Payment at Level 3 stations are made directly to the vendor, EVgo, and do not represent revenue to the City. Level 2 stations provide normal slow charging and Level 3 stations offer fast charging. Separate from the free charging, EV stations located in Lot A and Lot C parking structure require customers to pay for the cost of parking at the standard rate of $1.25 to $1.50 per hour. All other EV City charging stations do not require a fee to park.

The City currently maintains a network of 35 free and publicly accessible charging stations and City of Hermosa Beach Page 6 of 15 Printed on 5/24/2023 powered by Legistar™ 14
Staff Report
REPORT 22-0067
The City currently maintains a network of 35 free and publicly accessible charging stations and covers the cost of the equipment, electricity, and any maintenance of these stations. The City’s current network of EV charging infrastructure includes five different vendors or types of equipment and different levels of network connectivity and point of sale capabilities. Additionally, the different stations vary on their electric connectivity with some infrastructure on separate SCE meters or accounts and others on a meter or account for a larger facility. This variability makes it difficult to estimate with a high-degree of certainty the direct electricity costs associated with the charging stations. Noting the variability in both the level and time of use, staff has used a conservative estimate of approximately $70,000 in annual electricity costs for all these charging stations. Private chargers were also made available in the City in recent years.

Through various budget and EV policy related discussions, City Council has expressed interest in considering whether to retain free charging and/or parking associated with EV charging stations or consider adopting a fee that would generate revenue to help offset the City’s electricity and maintenance costs associated with this infrastructure. There are a variety of rate setting options to consider (flat fee for power only, graduated rates to encourage turnover of vehicles, etc.) and one or more could be analyzed more comprehensively and brought back for consideration.

Part C-review Residential and Employee Parking Permit Program Residential Parking Permit Program
In 1984, the City of Hermosa Beach applied for and was granted permission by the California Coastal Commission to establish a preferential parking permit program in conjunction with remote beach parking locations and a park and ride shuttle system. The permit was most recently amended in 2004 and no longer includes a park and ride shuttle system (Attachment C1). The preferential parking permit program was developed to discourage oversaturation of the City’s downtown and coastal parking, to provide free long-term parking at inland locations, and to allow residents within the impacted area to park beyond the one-hour time restrictions or without having to pay the meter at yellow pole/cap meters. The impacted area is bound by the North and South City boundaries; by the Strand on the West; and by Loma Drive, Park Avenue, or Morningside Drive on the East. Parking spaces on the West side of Cypress Avenue between 11th Street and Pier Avenue are also included.

Residential parking permits are issued on an annual basis and cost $40 per year. Vehicle permits are available at a rate of one non-transferrable sticker per vehicle registered to an address or apartment unit (no limit on number of vehicles) and one transferrable hang tag guest permit per address or apartment unit. As part of the program, a property owner not residing at the address may also obtain one guest permit per address or apartment unit, as well as stickers for each of their vehicles Residential parking permits allow residents to park at 24-hour meters without paying the meter, or in one-hour residential zones without time limits for up to 72 hours.

Currently, the City does not place a limit on the number of permits purchased per household. The City of Hermosa Beach Page 7 of 15 Printed on 5/24/2023 powered by Legistar™ 15
Staff Report
REPORT 22-0067
Currently, the City does not place a limit on the number of permits purchased per household. The Parking Study notes that many residents utilize their garage space as storage rather than parking spaces and park on-street, which adds more resident vehicles occupying street parking spaces. The Parking Study further identified that more parking permits are issued than spaces are available.

The Parking Study confirms that the $40 annual parking permit fee is well below the fair market value and the price of the permits has not been adjusted in over 10 years. The study recommends revisions to the program with scaled permit prices to disincentivize the oversaturation of parking permits purchased.

The Parking Study recommends the first annual permit per household be increased slightly to $50 remaining close to the current rate, while the second permit is priced at $75, the third at $100, and a guest or fourth permit at $150 for a maximum of four permits per unit. This recommendation is consistent with the practice that other municipalities employ to discourage the misuse of residential parking permits.

One of the challenges of the current residential parking program is the high number of permits issued, limiting on-street parking for residents and visitors without parking permits and limiting necessary beach access. Some households obtain multiple permits, in some cases a greater number of permits than a reasonable household would need, as shown in the following table:

City of Hermosa Beach Page 8 of 15 Printed on 5/24/2023 powered by Legistar™ 16
Staff Report
REPORT 22-0067
The Parking Study recommends a maximum of four parking permits be issued to each household.

Elimination of the number exceeding four parking passes last year would result in a reduction of 597 permits issued, or 6 percent of the 9,677 permits issued in 2021.

The most recent rate increase for Residential and Guest Parking Permits was made in 2008, when both permit rates were increased from $38 to $40 as shown in below table.

Monthly and Employee Parking Permit Program
For those who work in Hermosa Beach and do not have parking available through their employer, monthly and annual parking passes are available. Monthly permits are available to anyone for off-street parking lots and the Downtown parking structure at a cost of $62 per month to park anytime up to 72 hours or $31 per month to park only between 5:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. daily.

Employee permits are also available to purchase that allow employees to park at on-street spaces with yellow pole/cap meters and in the unmetered one-hour time restricted areas at an annual cost of $143 when employers are within the impact zone as shown on the Public Parking Map link listed in Attachment C2.

The Parking Study recommends the employee parking permit program be retained, but that the City should update the locations and pricing of employee permit parking to encourage off-street parking availability for employees and that on-street parking be reserved for short-term users to promote higher turnover.

The following table provides a comparison of employee parking rates in area cities:

Staff Report
REPORT 22-0067
The most recent rate increase for Employee Parking Permits was made in 2006, when permit rates were increased from $66 to $143 as shown in the following table:

The City issues several types of parking permits in addition to the Residential Parking Permits and Employee Parking Permits, which are the focus of this discussion. All of the City-issued permits are included in Attachment C3.

Coastal Commission Authority
Given that the City’s public lots, street metered parking, residential and employee parking program are all largely in the Coastal Zone, all changes to these programs require their review and approval, City of Hermosa Beach Page 11 of 15 Printed on 5/24/2023 powered by Legistar™ 19
Staff Report
REPORT 22-0067
are all largely in the Coastal Zone, all changes to these programs require their review and approval, and likely will be viewed as part of the City’s overall approach to managing parking and public access in the Coastal Zone. The overall approach should be considered in context of the Coastal Act and the City’s certified LUP. Coastal Commission staff’s frequently cited sections of the Coastal Act and Hermosa Beach’s certified LUP related to public access and parking include the following:

Section 30210 of the Coastal Act states: In carrying out the requirement of Section 4 of Article X of the California Constitution, maximum access, which shall be conspicuously posted, and recreational opportunities shall be provided for all the people consistent with public safety needs and the need to protect public rights, rights of private property owners, and natural resource areas from overuse.

Section 30211 of the Coastal Act states: Development shall not interfere with the public’s right of access to the sea where acquired through use or legislative authorization, including, but not limited to, the use of dry sand and rocky coastal beaches to the first line of terrestrial vegetation.

Hermosa Beach certified LUP Section III(A) states: To preserve and increase where feasible, residential, commercial, and general public parking within the Coastal Zone.

Hermosa Beach certified LUP Section III(C)(1) states, in relevant part: Policy: That the City should not allow the elimination of existing on-street parking or off-street parking spaces within the coastal zone. Given the Commission’s authority, staff cautions against any significant incremental pricing changes or program changes without an overall program approach, or implementing before Commission approval.

Summary:

This parking program update provides important context in Council consideration of next steps with respect to any adjustments or pricing changes to parking programs. In considering next steps, staff suggests the Council authorize the City Manager to discuss parking topics with Coastal Commission staff and support continuing efforts to implement a strategic and comprehensive approach as reflected in the Parking Study, that aligns and advances all the City’s goals as reflected in PLAN Hermosa but specifically respect to Mobility, Economic Vitality, and Sustainability.

With respect to shorter term adjustment to parking programs Council may want to consider the following direction:
· Provide direction to staff on specific parking program elements and pricing adjustments that have immediate priority;
· Direct the City Manager to incorporate these into the LUP update in process through City of Hermosa Beach Page 12 of 15 Printed on 5/24/2023 powered by Legistar™ 20
Staff Report
REPORT 22-0067
· Direct the City Manager to incorporate these into the LUP update in process through discussions with the Coastal Commission staff, focusing on finding points of agreement of short-term program and pricing adjustments; and/or
· Implement any first step pricing adjustments only after acceptance from the Coastal Commission, and assurance that any initial steps would not affect the LCP update and certification process underway.

The following program adjustments could be implemented before review by Coastal Commission:

1. Limit residential parking passes to four per household;

2. Eliminate Temporary Emergency Orders that changed Lots A and C to 3 hours maximum and return to 24-hour lots;

3. Consider revising citation fines to average of survey cities (Attachments B2 and B3) or other selected fine amounts; and

4. Revision of EV vehicle parking and charging rate options (flat fee for power only, graduated rates to encourage turnover of vehicles, etc.).

The Council could provide specific direction on parking program adjustments priorities to pursue with Coastal Commission including:

1. Adjustment of parking meter rates;

2. Adjustment of Resident Parking Permit fees. As recommended in the Parking Study, the first annual Resident Parking Permit fee per household be increased slightly to $50 remaining close to the current rate, while the second permit is priced at $75, the third at $100, and a guest or fourth permit at $150 for a maximum of four permits per unit; and/or

3. Adjustments to employee parking permit program.

General Plan Consistency:

This report and associated recommendation have been evaluated for their consistency with the City’s General Plan. Relevant Policies are listed below:

Mobility Element
Goal 4. A parking system that meets the parking needs and demand of residents, visitors, and employees in an efficient and cost-effective manner.

Policies:
· 4.2 Encourage coastal access. Ensure parking facilities and costs of such facilities are not a barrier to beach access by the public.
· 4.3 Reduce impacts. Reduce spillover parking impacts due to employee parking and seasonal City of Hermosa Beach Page 13 of 15 Printed on 5/24/2023 powered by Legistar™ 21

event-based demands.
· 4.4 Preferential parking program. Periodically study and evaluate the current inventory of public parking supply and update the preferential parking program. · 4.6 Priority parking. Provide priority parking and charging stations to accommodate the use of Electric Vehicles (EVs), including smaller short-distance neighborhood electric vehicles. · 4.7 Parking availability. Optimize parking availability through dynamically adjusted pricing and new technology to manage available spaces for short-term parking use to encourage rates of turnover that are responsive to fluctuating demands.
· 4.8 Ensure commercial parking. Ensure that prime commercial parking spaces are available for customers and other short-term users throughout the day. · 4.9 Encourage TDM strategies. Encourage use of transportation demand management strategies and programs such as carpooling, ride hailing, and alternative transportation modes as a way to reduce demand for additional parking supply. · 4.10 Visitor parking information. Manage information about passes and accessing public parking lots to facilitate use by longer-distance visitors with limited transportation choices. · 4.11 Consolidated parking facilities. Consider the development of new small-scale parking structures or shared facilities outside of the Downtown core and incorporate adaptability standards so that they may serve other uses in the future.

Subject: UpperPier/civic Center parking
Dear mayor Michael and city leadership,
Sunday was a beautiful day in Hermosa! UpperPier was buzzing with people and it was fantastic to see our community being out and about...a reminder that all of your hard work is finally coming together.

And as the parking study today, please let this email be a reminder(from someone who has been a part of downtown community and has walked the downtown since 1985) that UpperPier is the “mouth” of our downtown! And if we can have more people park at the top and walk the downtown, with proper Civic Center parking inventory signage and other remedies such as Civic Center valet service, we can utilise our parking inventory so that:
1- Alleviate the congestion making lower pier and Hermosa Ave more pedestrian friendly.
2-once for all deal with The perception of HB having parking problem! therefor not only bring more revenue, but also bring stronger and more diverse businesses that can add to our community.

P.S. Also Kindly be mindful that parking meter poles don’t go very well with our pedestrian friendly sidewalks and outdoor dining experience.

Thank you for your time and service to our community

Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council Adjourned Regular Meeting of January 31, 2022

CONSIDERATION OF POSTPONING SALE OF THE
2022-2023 RESIDENTIAL AND EMPLOYEE PARKING

PERMITS AND DIRECTING STAFF TO NOTICE A PUBLIC

HEARING TO ENABLE THE COUNCIL TO CONSIDER AN

INCREASE IN RESIDENTIAL AND EMPLOYEE PERMIT
PARKING RATES RETROACTIVE TO FEBRUARY 1, 2022
(City Manager Suja Lowenthal)
Recommended Action:

Staff recommends City Council provide staff direction on whether to postpone the sale and renewal of the 2022-2023 Residential and Employee parking permits and notice a public hearing to enable Council to consider an increase of the current rates retroactive to February 1, 2022.

Executive Summary:

Considering the information and discussion regarding existing parking infrastructure and programs presented at the parking study session, City Council may decide to act on parking rate adjustments prior to the opening of the 2022 parking pass sales, which is scheduled to take place on February 1, 2022. Council has the option of postponing the sale and renewal of the 2022-2023 Residential and Employee parking permits and noticing a public hearing to enable Council to consider an increase of the current rates retroactive to February 1, 2022.

Background:

In recent years, the City has prepared two very important and forward-thinking planning documents to analyze issues and identify goals related to parking management. In 2017, the City adopted PLAN Hermosa, which includes a mobility element. A few years later in 2019, the City completed its Coastal Zone Parking Management Study as a basis to revise parking standards and make necessary adjustments to residential and employee parking permit and fee programs within the Coastal Zone.

The Coastal Zone Parking Management Study, accepted by the City Council in late 2019, included twelve recommendations with actions to be completed. The study asserts that the $40 annual residential parking permit fee is well below the fair market value due to the price of the permits not being adjusted in over 10 years. The study recommended revisions to the program with scaled permit City of Hermosa Beach Page 1 of 4 Printed on 5/24/2023
powered by Legistar™ 86
Staff Report
REPORT 22-0066
being adjusted in over 10 years. The study recommended revisions to the program with scaled permit prices to disincentivize the oversaturation of parking permits purchased. The study also addresses the employee parking permit program and recommends retaining the program with updated the locations and pricing to encourage off-street parking availability for merchant employees. The intent would be to reserve on-street parking for short-term users to promote higher turnover.

At its January 11, 2011 meeting, City Council was scheduled to hold a public hearing to consider amendments to the preferential parking program including resident and guest parking permits fees.

Based on overwhelming public input, City Council unanimously passed a motion to table the consideration of these two items indefinitely. No further action regarding the residential or employee parking permits has taken place since that time.

Mayor Pro Tem Jackson has expressed a strong desire to allow Council the opportunity to act on parking rate adjustments following the study session, prior to the opening of the 2022 parking pass sales, which is scheduled to take place on February 1, 2022. At its January 25, 2022 meeting, City Council received an update regarding the parking study session scheduled to be held on January 31, 2022 and voted unanimously to direct staff to schedule an agenda item for an adjourned regular meeting to follow the parking study session to decide whether to postpone the 2022-2023 Residential and Employee parking permits to allow for a review of the current rates.

Past Council Actions
Meeting Date Description
January 11, 2011 City Council consider ed various changes to the preferential parking programand tabled discussion of an increase to the resident parking permit and the guest permit fees .

January 25, 2022 City Council received anupdate regarding the parking study session scheduled to be held on January 31, 2022 and made a motiondirect staff to schedule an agenda item for a regular meeting to follow the parking study session to decide whether to postpone the 2022–2023 Residential and Employee
parking permitso allow for a review of the current rates .

Discussion:

Sale of the 2022-2023 Residential and Employee parking permits is scheduled to begin on February 1, 2022. While staff would have normally mailed renewal postcards, the mailing was temporarily postponed pending Council direction.

City of Hermosa Beach Page 2 of 4 Printed on 5/24/2023
powered by Legistar™ 87
Staff Report
REPORT 22-0066
Should Council choose to increase of the current rates retroactive to February 1, 2022, staff would need to reprint and readdress renewal postcards. The reprinting and readdressing would take approximately four weeks and cost an additional $1,100. The postage for mailing is also $1,100, which was budgeted and has not yet been incurred.

Additionally, our software company would need to modify the current rate structure in our online permitting system. The timeline for software changes would depend on the complexity of the changes such as moving to a tiers rate structure or placing a limit on the number of permits. The company is quoting a week to change one rate only and a minimum of one and a half to two months for any other modifications based on their current workload and staffing challenges.

If directed by Council, staff would announce postponement of the 2022-2023 Residential and Employee parking permit sales and notice a public hearing.

General Plan Consistency:

This report and associated recommendation have been evaluated for their consistency with the City’s General Plan. Relevant Policies are listed below:

Governance Element
Goal 2. The community is active and engaged in the decision-making processes.

Policy:
· 2.4 Public Forums. Host periodic public forums on issues important to the community, facilitating theses forums with the purpose of guiding policy.

Goal 4. A parking system that meets the parking needs and demand of residents, visitors, and employees in an efficient and cost-effective manner.

Policies:
· 4.1 Shared parking. Facilitate park-once and shared parking policies among private developments that contribute to a shared parking supply and interconnect with adjacent parking facilities.
· 4.2 Encourage coastal access. Ensure parking facilities and costs of such facilities are not a barrier to beach access by the public.
· 4.3 Reduce impacts. Reduce spillover parking impacts due to employee parking and seasonal and event-based demands.
· 4.4 Preferential parking program. Periodically study and evaluate the current inventory of public parking supply and update the preferential parking program. · 4.7 Parking availability. Optimize parking availability through dynamically adjusted pricing and new technology to manage available spaces for short-term parking use to encourage City of Hermosa Beach Page 3 of 4 Printed on 5/24/2023
powered by Legistar™ 88
Staff Report
REPORT 22-0066
and new technology to manage available spaces for short-term parking use to encourage rates of turnover that are responsive to fluctuating demands. · 4.8 Ensure commercial parking. Ensure that prime commercial parking spaces are available for customers and other short-term users throughout the day. · 4.9 Encourage TDM strategies. Encourage use of transportation demand management strategies and programs such as carpooling, ride hailing, and alternative transportation modes as a way to reduce demand for additional parking supply. · 4.10 Visitor parking information. Manage information about passes and accessing public parking lots to facilitate use by longer-distance visitors with limited transportation choices.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended actions. Any impacts that may result from changes in parking programs or rates would be presented to City Council at the time of the proposed modification.

eComment: I support the increase in price for parking passes. Those who choose to own a car and plan to park it on public roadways should have to pay for that right. I think the proposed increase is not enough. Automobile owners already receive enough benefits and cause too much damage to those around them without having to pay their share. They need to stop freeloading off the government and instead pay a fair price for the services they use. 214

Dear Assistant City Manager Crespi
Dear Council Members,
I understand staff is proposing the following changes to Residential Parking Permit fees:

A 150% increase for 1st & 2nd parking permit from $40 to $100 each A 500% increase for 3rd parking permit from $40 per season to $200 A 750% increase forGuest Permit from $40 to $300
THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!
So if the plan as described in the upcoming Jan 31 City Council Parking Study Meeting agenda is to INCREASE THE COST OF RESIDENT PARKING PERMITS while gifting well over a million dollars in covid relief to HB businesses (by the end of this fiscal year), in terms of suspended outdoor dining encroachment fees, lost parking meter revenue, raffling of $10,000 gifts and the like; well then I must object to that...

If the city needs to make up for lost revenue from the business community due to the covid pandemic, I get that.... But don't do it on the backs of the residents.

How about cutting some costs too?
I also suggest raising parking meter fees for non residents especially in the business district. Anyone that can afford to shop in these luxury priced restaurants & shops can afford to pay a little more for parking.

Also the city might look at raising the fees on downtown events and movies and god forbid, dare I say it again, cutting some fat out of the budget....

Might i also suggest canceling the $80,000 per year contract for a public relations firm to help the city manager put a positive spin on her programs that might be great for the golden slipper society, great for property value on Pier Ave; but run roughshod over resident quality of life in neighborhoods vulnerable to the noise & pollution that comes from forcing commercial and commuter traffic off of Pier Ave and into residential neighborhoods.

Other Related Notes & Suggestions:

As i have pointed out many times, I am now woken up 3-4 times a night by obnoxiously loud, toxic modified exhaust vehicles screaming up and down 27th streets inclines thur-sat 9P-1A. 215
We now average 500+ cars per hour on these evenings though to be fair, for some reason the number of cars is down significantly this week.... maybe the cold... hopefully when you get around to CEQA and measuring the potential significant INDIRECT impacts on the single lane configuration to 27th street you have a reasonably airtight way of making seasonal adjustments in traffic volumes...

Traffic jams routinely occur with more than 20 cars at the stop signs at 27th/Morningside and on Gould at Valley (adjacent to valley park) during the morning and evening rush hours AND during Vista Elementary pickup/dropoff periods...

Traffic queues have more than quadrupled at 27th/Morningside since the single lane config and the opening of vista elementary.

My bushes, my neighbors lemon tree and my patio are layered with exhaust soot and diesel particulate matter.... i showed the blackened leaves and lemon layered in this toxic stew to Councilman Jackson and Mayor Detoy....

Only 3 in 10 cars come to a complete thur-sat nights during these timeframes...

There used to be regular police enforcement at this intersection going back 10 years.... There is none on 27th now... i have confirmed this with several public records requests though im still waiting on data from by mid-october request....
1 in 5 vehicles blow through the stopsign at 27th/Morningside at greater than 5 mph at night... speeding is rampant on 27th... And yes it's gotten much much worse on 27th since the single lane configuration on pier ave.

What is the plan to address this?
Pier Ave was the only east west truck route running from Pch to Hermosa Ave...

SUGGESTIONS:

If you want to expand the business district then do it west of Hermosa Ave between 10th and 14th street....

Tear down the parking lots west of Hermosa ave and sell the space to restaurants and interested businesses.... Think shops and rooftop dining for this space west of Hermosa Ave...

Move these 3 parking AND whatever other parking lots are needed to Pier Ave East of Manhattan Ave parking and put in shuttle busses to the plaza area for those that cant or wont walk.

RESTORE Pier Ave to what it was intended to be.... a two-lane commuter road and a truck route serving the commercial district....

Don't shove Pier Ave commercial and commuter traffic into residential neighborhoods..

Thats crazy, short-sighted and unsustainable, especially to the extent it increases noise levels, intersection queuing or near roadway pollution beyond the limits set by the General Plan it is INCONSISTENT WITH THE GENERAL PLAN.
216
Restore the two lane configuration on Hermosa ave so that trucks can easily access shops and restaurants in the Plaza area...

And to the idea that we need less police... well unless you can get community service police to enforce traffic laws and vehicle noise laws we need more traffic cops patrolling collector roads like 27th and Manhattan ave in residential neighborhoods.... not less and we need them thur-sun 9PM-1AM.... We dont need to see our sworn officers doubling up in their $100k SUVs on dayshift if that means we cant get more effective traffic enforcement in the evening... i hope this isnt too harsh.... its not intended to be....

PUBLIC HEARING TO ENABLE THE COUNCIL TO CONSIDER AN INCREASE IN

RESIDENTIAL AND EMPLOYEE PERMIT PARKING RATES RETROACTIVE TO FEBRUARY 1, 2022 (City Manager Suja Lowenthal)
eComment: Parking spots are one of the largest resources owned by the city, and we can do a much better job of managing them. Our parking spaces are public, and should be make available to the whole public on the same terms. Residents living near the beach, residents living away from the beach, visitors, customers of our businesses and employees working in Hermosa all deserve to be able to access parking at the same price. This price needs to be higher. $1.25 an hour at a meter near the beach in the summer is too low. $40 per year for select residents to park for a year is way too low. Those rates amount to a free handout to those that use and abuse the system. Anyone who parks on the street for $40 per year and turns their garage into storage is abusing the system. We should start with raising the hourly rate, especially during peak times. Also we should raise the yearly parking rate, especially for households buying excessive numbers of permits. Moving forward, we should slowly migrate to a system where the price of parking is based on demand for the spot, and all potential users of that spot are treated equally.

Subject: Residential parking permit proposed increase
As a long-time Hermosa Beach resident, I strongly object to the exorbitant price increase on residential parking permit fees when for the past two years, parking enforcement on N. Hermosa Avenue has been non-existent (except for street cleaning mornings). I have observed tourists parking illegally for many hours, as well as construction trucks parking illegally overnight (weekends too) blocking turning views on our narrow streets. Why? That is clearly lost revenue over such a long period of time.

This outrageous increase unfairly saddles the residents with the city's budget shortfall. A $40 guest parking pass fee increasing 650%, to $300, is tantamount to extortion. Please reconsider this excessive increase.

Meeting: City Council Adjourned Regular Hybrid Meeting (Parking Study Session) Item: a. REPORT 22-0067 REVIEW OF CITY PARKING PROGRAMS (Community Development Director Ken Robertson, Finance Director Viki Copeland, and Police Community Services Manager Peter Ahlstrom)
eComment: Hermosa Beach parking regulations and fines should be focused not only on providing a fair system for residents and increasing revenue, but also ensuring parking is available for business customers and visitors. To obtain these goals, following are my recommendations: 1) Residents should be limited to 2 parking permits for each mailing address, saving about 2,947 spaces. (currently no limit). Staff’s recommendation of 4 permits per address only saves 597 spaces of the 9,677. Using a 3 permit limit would save 1,567 spaces. Note that having a 2 permit limit will encourage residents to utilize their garages and help those residents and businesses that need street parking. In the event the Council decides to go with the staff recommendation, permits should be tiered as follows: $50/$75/$300/$400 2) Although it is important to continue employee permits at a reasonable cost, it is hard to see the need for 72 hour maximum. 24 hours should be enough. In addition, employee parking should be limited to the top floors of the parking structure. 183 such permits have been purchased in the last year.

The $143 per year for on-street parking should be increased to encourage use of the parking structure (to perhaps $360 per year). The City’s agreement with the Beach House parking should be disclosed to enable this discussion – full transparency. 3) A small increase to $1.50 per hour for metered parking in all locations / Increase to 3 hour maximum to allow business customers and visitors enough time to enjoy their stay (and spend $) 4) Electric charging stations/spaces should require payment for parking and charging. The benefits to EV owners due to gasoline savings is substantial enough to encourage EV usage. Thank you for having this study session! 220

Council, City Manager and staff,
I wanted to share my thoughts on parking from the perspective of a Hermosa resident and small business owner with a retail storefront in the downtown business district.

In my opinion, some of the challenges we face re:parking in Hermosa could be addressed with the following changes:

1. Limit the amount of residential parking passes. Currently there is no limit and they are $40ea. This makes it easy to exploit the system and provides parking in an impacted area of Hermosa for approximately 11 cents a day. I suggest slightly increasing the fee for the first 2 passes, significantly increasing the fee for the 3rd pass and capping the amount of passes at 3 per residence.

2. Limit the number of employee passes per business and increase the fee ($175). I believe we pay approximately $140 per employee pass. We have 3 people total that purchase the pass and those are the people that spend 6-10 hours 5-6 days a week at our location, quite often running business errands during their work day and returning back to work. Businesses need a core number of employees to be able to park nearby the business and would pay for that privilege. Other (shift) employees can park further away because they don’t require access to their vehicles during their shifts.

3. Fix the issue with street sweeping. In this day and age, there is no reason for a 4 hour window for street sweeping. Work with the street sweeping company to reduce the no-parking hours to 2 hours. It might mean that some streets have no parking from 8-10 and others from 10-12, but this would add a significant amount of parking inventory back to HB and be a win for work-at-home residents and the city.

4. As much as I love having yellow metered parking in Lot D, the majority of the time, especially on weekends, it is occupied by residents and unavailable to visitors. The parking on the east side of the lot could be made 2-3 hour parking and would add to the parking inventory.

While I am open to limiting or removing employee parking in Lots A, B and C, I do not support removing access to the yellow metered parking from business permits. As noted, many of the small business owners are working their business, running errands and making deliveries. If we are not allowed to park close to our businesses it will cause significant hardship. I ride my e-bike to work as much as possible but many times the distance I have to travel or deliveries I have to make make it unfeasible.

Thank you for your time.

Subject: Increase parking permits
Hello,
I read Hermosa wants to increase our parking permits. I feel like we the residents should not have to pay more for parking. We pay high rents, mortgage and taxes to live here. We also just had a big hike on our gas and electric bills. It is going to be too expensive for people to live here. Please do not increase our parking passes.

I feel like we the residents should get a discount and the people that do not live here should pay more for meter parking if Hermosa feels it needs to make money.

Please consider the people that live here and work full time and having a hard time making enough money to continue to live here.

Thank you,
