AGENDA REPORT
ADDITIONAL AGENDA ITEM
DATE: August 9, 20041
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU: John B. Bahorski, City Manager
FROM: Lee Whittenberg, Director of Development Services
SUBJECT: Adoption of Ordinances Amending The Seal Beach
Municipal Code To Re- Establish Diagonal Parking Zone
Regulations
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
Adopt Ordinance No. 1529, An Ordinance of the City of Seal Beach Amending the Seal
Beach Municipal Code to Re- Establish Diagonal Parking Zone Regulations and
Declaring the Urgency Thereof. (A Four - Fifths Vote is Required for Adoption)
Introduce Ordinance No. 1530, An Ordinance of the City of Seal Beach Amending the
Seal Beach Municipal Code to Re- Establish Diagonal Parking Zone Regulations.
BACKGROUND:
Overview of Reason for Proposed Ordinance:
Section 13 -92 of the Code of the City of Seal Beach established regulations for diagonal
parking zones designated by City Council resolution. That provision was inadvertently
omitted when the Code of the City of Seal Beach was recodified as the Seal Beach
Municipal Code earlier this year. In order to provide for uninterrupted enforcement of
the City's diagonal zone parking zone regulations, the substance of former Section 13 -92
must be incorporated into the Seal Beach Municipal Code.
Overview of Urgency Ordinance and Regular Ordinance Adoption
Process:
Staff recommends that the council adopt two virtually identical versions of an ordinance
that would re- establish "Diagonal Parking Zone Regulations" into the Municipal Code.

City Council Staff Report
August 9, 2004
The first version is an Urgency Ordinance. A four -fifths (4/5) vote is required to adopt
this urgency ordinance upon first reading. This urgency ordinance would immediately
effectuate the re- establishment of "Diagonal Parking Zone Regulations" into the
Municipal Code. This ordinance is provided as Attachment 1 of the Staff Report.
Staff is also recommending introduction of a regular ordinance that would have the same
effect (to wit, re- establish "`Diagonal Parking Zone Regulations" into the Municipal
Code), but the regular ordinance would not become effective for approximately two
months. This ordinance is provided as Attachment 2 of the Staff Report. This process
entails the customary introduction (first reading) at one council meeting and second
reading and adoption at a subsequent meeting at least six days later. If the Council were
to introduce the ordinance this evening and adopt the ordinance on September 13, the
ordinance would become effective on October 13, 2004.
If both ordinances are adopted, the urgency ordinance would be rendered null and void
upon the effective date of the regular ordinance.
Unless the Council adopts the proposed urgency ordinance, the two -step process of a
regular ordinance adoption would place the city in the position of not being able to
enforce diagonal parking regulations along Main Street for approximately 60 more days
before taking effect. The adoption of the urgency ordinance will immediately eliminate
that lack of ability to enforce diagonal parking regulations on Main Street.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Ordinance No. 1529, An Ordinance of the City of Seal Beach Amending the Seal
Beach Municipal Code to Re- Establish Diagonal Parking Zone Regulations and
Declaring the Urgency Thereof. (A Four - Fifths Vote is Required for Adoption)
Introduce Ordinance No. 1530, An Ordinance of the City of Seal Beach Amending the
Seal Beach Municipal Code to Re- Establish Diagonal Parking Zone Regulations.
