RESOLUTION NO. 26-0070
A RESOLUTION OF THE MANHATTAN BEACH CITY COUNCIL ADJUSTING HOURLY PUBLIC PARKING RATES OUTSIDE OF THE COASTAL ZONE THE MANHATTAN BEACH CITY COUNCIL DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. On April 15, 2025, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 25-0041 to increase public parking meter rates from $2.00 per hour to $2.50 per hour for areas outside the coastal zone.
SECTION 2. The City has reviewed the proposed project for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that it is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378(b)(4) of the State CEQA Guidelines because the proposal involves an adjustment of hourly public parking rates for on-street parking, City parking lots and beach parking lots in the City, and therefore involves the amendment of existing government funding mechanisms and other governmental fiscal activities which do not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is necessary.
SECTION 3. The City Council hereby approves an adjustment from $2.50 per hour for on-street meters to the variable hourly public parking rates in Exhibit A for parking rates outside the Coastal Zone.
SECTION 4. Annual Adjustment: To keep up with the rising costs of maintaining parking operations, infrastructure and future debt issuances, beginning July 1, 2027, through July 1, 2030, the variable hourly public parking rates shall be adjusted annually by 10%, rounded to the nearest five cents ($0.05).
SECTION 5. This Resolution shall be effective upon passage, however, the adjustments to the hourly public parking rates will become effective on August 1, 2026.
SECTION 6. The City Clerk shall certify the adoption of this Resolution.
ADOPTED on July 7, 2026.
