TITLE
ADOPT BY TITLE ONLY RESOLUTION NO. CC-2307-065, A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY
COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDONDO BEACH, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING THE SUSPENSION OF PREFERENTIAL PARKING HOURS IN THE VINCENT AND VINCENT 2 PREFERENTIAL PARKING DISTRICTS ON JULY 22, 2023 FROM 11:00 AM TO 7:00 PM
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff recommends that the City Council allow parking by the general public in the Vincent and Vincent 2 Preferential Parking Districts on July 22nd from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. to facilitate attendees of the Los Angeles County Police Canine Association (LACPCA) 22nd Annual Police Canine Demonstration and Educational Public Safety Fair.
BACKGROUND
The City Council has previously approved preferential parking districts on the north and south side of the Redondo Union High School campus for certain special events held at the High School. The Vincent District (The 600 & 700 blocks of Vincent St. and the 100 and 400 blocks of El Redondo) restricts parking from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. daily. The Vincent 2 District (the 800 through 1100 blocks of Vincent St and the 200 blocks of N. Lucia, N. Juanita, and N. Irena) restricts parking from 2:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. on Saturday.
The LACPCA 22nd Annual Police Canine Demonstration and Educational Public Safety Fair will take place at the Sea Hawk Bowl in Redondo Union High School on Saturday July 22, 2023 at 1:00 P.M.
The LACPCA is comprised of over forty law enforcement agencies in Los Angeles County that utilize canine resources in police work. For the past twenty years, many of these agencies have come together to stage a police canine demonstration for the public. The Police Department anticipates hundreds of attendees many of whom will park on the south side of the school in the Vincent and Vincent 2 preferential parking districts.
The City Council may revise the hours of a preferential parking district pursuant to section 3- 7.1701 of the Municipal Code. Staff requests that City Council suspend the parking restrictions in the Vincent and Vincent 2 Preferential Parking Districts for the limited time of 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on July 22, 2023. Staff believes that the issuance of citations during this event would not be in the best interest of the community.
