PISMO BEACH CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item #9.E
Meeting Date: January 20, 2026
TITLE:
Annual Pavement Cut Moratorium Update
RECOMMENDATION:
No action recommended; for information only.
DISCUSSION:
Pismo Beach Municipal Code Chapter 12.36, Pavement Cut Moratorium, was created to protect the public’s investment in its infrastructure and preserve the life of the City’s streets.
Section 12.36.030 states, "permission to excavate in roadways shall not be granted for five (5) years after the completion date of roadway construction or maintenance, including but not limited to an overlay, chip seal, slurry seal coatings, micro paving, or other maintenance of the roadway surface. Utilities shall plan well enough in advance to determine alternate methods for making necessary repairs to avoid excavating in newly resurfaced roadways."
In order to help homeowners, developers, and utility companies better plan their projects to avoid additional costs by this moratorium and to better protect the City’s infrastructure, staff compiles the full list of streets that have a pavement cut moratorium, along with the expiration date of the moratorium, as well as streets that are anticipated to be paved in the coming year or years. The full list of streets is shown below in Table 1 and Table 2 and is also available on the City’s website: www.pismobeach.org/pavementcut .
