Amending HBMC Chapter 13.52

Background
The Main Promenade Parking Structure in the downtown business district has been the site of various quality of life issues interfering with the use of the parking structure and impacting local businesses, the adjacent neighborhood, residents and visitors alike.
To help ensure this public facility is utilized only for its intended purpose (public parking and access to public restroom facilities) a proposed ordinance is recommended.

The Ordinance also applies regulations pertaining to off-street city pay parking lots and off-street city parking lots to the parking structure and establishes an alternative remedy for those who violate the provisions of this chapter.
Recommendation
Approve for Introduction Ordinance No. 4284, “An Ordinance of the City of Huntington Beach Amending Title 13 of Huntington Beach Municipal Code relating to public buildings.”
