2. 5.3 PowerPoint_Parking Commission Recommendation to Council.pdf Christopher R Glenn
Is the City of La Mesa missing an opportunity for funding improvements at City Hall? The parking areas bounded by Nebo, Date and Allison appear unregulated. High density housing adjacent to this area has significantly increased use throughout the day and nighttime.
Regulating and monetizing the high-demand parking near City Hall and channeling the proceeds into visible local improvements through a dedicated PBD, is a proven, community-friendly approach to funding upgrades and enhancing public spaces. Delaying action in hopes of future development risks losing both immediate and long-term benefits.
The City has limited revenue opportunities. This one should not be overlooked or discounted because the City hopes to someday develop it. Conduct a Parking Utilization Study to quantify the current usage, estimate potential revenue, and inform fee structures.
Formally create a Parking Benefit District covering the City Hall area, with clear guidelines for revenue use. Install meters or a permit system, with modern payment options for convenience. Clearly communicate how parking revenue is being reinvested locally to maintain public trust and support.
Assistant to the City Manager Dedmon presented an overview of the Parking Commission’s recommendation to update parking meter rates, permit pricing, and program guidelines in Parking District One. The Commission recommended increasing meter rates to $1.50 per hour, eliminating permit tiers in favor of a single permit priced at $80 per quarter, and reducing the maximum number of permits per business from 25 to 5. The purpose of the presentation was to gather feedback from the Council and public; no formal action was requested. Staff indicated they would return at a future meeting with a recommended action based on the input received.
Council questions and comments ensued.
Jack Shu spoke in support of the La Mesa Community Parking Commission’s recommendations and also addressed topics such as expanding the size of the parking district and parking as it relates to the City’s Climate Action Plan.
Jason Meram commented on the recommended changes to the parking permit program.
Brenda Leek commented on the recommended changes to the parking permit program.
Christopher Glenn submitted a comment urging the City to explore creating a Parking Benefit District around City Hall to regulate and monetize parking, fund local improvements, and avoid missing a valuable revenue opportunity.

Wendy Mihalic
The June 18, 2025 Axios headline reads: “La Mesa Developer Wants Out of Affordable Housing Deal After Receiving Incentives.” According to Axios, the developer has asked the La Mesa Planning Commission to keep the incentives granted under the city’s Affordable Homes Bonus Program but cancel the requirement to provide four affordable units.
There may be more to the story, but it appears the city is moving quickly to waive this obligation without broader discussion. Does this set a precedent for future Bonus Program applicants? Were there problems with the city’s application process, and if so, have they been resolved? Did the city attempt to negotiate a reduced number of affordable units? I agree with Council Members Suzuki and Cazares: the loss of any affordable housing in La Mesa warrants thorough review by the Council and full public transparency.
Councilmember Cazares and Councilmember Suzuki explained the purpose of requesting that the Council direct staff not to extinguish or cancel any deed restriction or agreement related to affordable housing without prior City Council approval.
The following members of the public spoke in support of requiring Council approval to cancel affordable housing deed restrictions and agreements:
