TITLE
Adoption of a Resolution to Extend the Interim Parklet Program to July 31, 2024; CEQA Status - Categorically Exempt (Sections 15301 and 15304(e))
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that Council adopt the attached resolution to extend the interim parklet program to July 31, 2024 (from March 31, 2024). This resolution should have been included with the March 11, 2024 Council consent item extending the program, but was inadvertently left out.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
On March 11, 2024, the City Council adopted an ordinance extending the interim parklet program to July 31, 2024 (from March 31, 2024).1 The attached resolution was inadvertently not included with its sibling ordinance on the consent item on March 11.
The attached resolution and the ordinance adopted on March 11 work together to implement the interim parklet program and should have been presented together as has been done in the past. The resolution defines specific operating parameters of the program and directs City staff to make and enforce regulations.
This resolution was last adopted in March 2023 and does not make any changes except to extend its validity to July 31, 2024. 2 This resolution also does not propose any new changes to the interim parklet program as compared to the staff report from March 11, 2024.

There are no resource impacts associated with the adoption of this resolution. 1 The City Council approved the ordinance 7-0 on March 11, 2024 on its consent calendar and 7-0 on second reading on April 1, 2024.
