DATE: January 12, 2004
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU: John B. Bahorski, City Manager
FROM: Mac Cummins, Associate Planner /Special Projects Manager
SUBJECT: Main St. Parking Meter /Preferred Parking Coastal
Commission Application .
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
Authorize Staff to send a letter to the Coastal Commission which indicates that the City is
in support of the Coastal Commission staff's recommendations regarding the City's
application before the Coastal Commission. The draft letter is enclosed for Council
review.
BACKGROUND:
To clarify information distributed in an article by the Long Beach Press Telegram
on January 8, 2004, the proposed Coastal Commission Application will not affect
existing parking restrictions in any manner. The existing 1 hour restricted parking
between 5 and 12 Streets will not be affected by the application.
In September, 2002, the City Council voted to forward an application to the California
Coastal Commission for consideration regarding the installation of parking meters along
Main St. and '/2 block (commercial areas) of Ocean, Central, and Electric Avenues.
Additionally, the Council voted to include within the application a request to add
additional 1 hour parking restrictions from 5 St. to 12 Streets.
I
After staff submitted the application, the City! was required to further submit a parking
study. After this, and other subsequent information, was submitted to the Coastal
Commission staff, the application was deemed complete. The hearing is scheduled before
the Coastal Commission on January 16, 2004 in Laguna Beach.
I
The Coastal Commission staff report, dated December 30, 2003, recommends approval of
the City's request, with 4 special conditions �n place. These four special conditions are
summed up as the following: I
1. Remove proposed "new" 1 hour parking from application for the local streets
between 5 and 12 Streets;
, Agenda Item X
I
I
I
2. Approval will be for 5 years, after which the City may re- apply;
3. Changes to program will require an amendment to the permit;
4. Agree to the above conditions.
These conditions seem reasonable to City Staff. The staff report further points out in
several areas where the City might be in violation, by virtue of not getting a coastal
permit for changes to the City's "preferential parking" program. These areas have been
directed to the enforcement division for possible enforcement, and could require
additional permits to resolve the potential violations. Preferential parking refers to the
restriction of parking in any manner. For example, the City's 1 hour parking, or
residential parking permit programs are prefer ntial parking systems.
The five year requirement is standard for preferential parking permits issued by the
Commission, as is the condition requiring an amendment should the City want to do
something which is not specifically permitted in this permit. In staff's view, the Coastal
Commission Staff requesting that no "new" restricted parking be implemented, and that
the permit be reviewed after 5 years, seems consistent with past Coastal Commission
approvals. In situations where Cities have requested new preferential parking, the Coastal
Commission has required new parking to be provided for those parking spaces being
displaced. The City has not contemplated such a provision, nor does it appear to readily
have the resources to engage in such a venture. As such, staff is recommending that the
City concur with this recommendation, and within the letter acknowledge that the City
will retain the right to re -apply for the additional preferential parking after the meters
have been installed and parking behavior can be better analyzed.
Staff has placed a draft letter for Council consideration on the agenda this evening. This
letter essentially clarifies condition #2, and agrees to all four special conditions. If the
City Council is in agreement with this position, the Council may direct staff this evening
to send the letter of support to the Coastal Commission to be introduced into the public
record at the Coastal Commission meeting.
FISCAL IMPACT: 1
Estimated net revenue after one year of parking meter revenue is $491,800. Estimated
net revenue for the first year of parking meter revenue is $337,880. This net fiscal impact
assumes that 320 parking meters are purchased in the first year and installed, and further
assumes that the meters operate at approximately 50% occupancy over the course of the
year, which is a relatively conservative estimate.
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize Staff to send a letter to the Coastal, which indicates that the City is
in support of the Coastal Commission staff's�recommendations regarding the City's
application before the Coastal Commission. The draft letter is enclosed for Council
review.

Long Beach, CA 90802
Subject: Permit Number 5 -02 -422
City of Seal Beach Parking Meter Application
Dear Chairman Reilly, •
The City is writing this letter to clarify some issues and agree to the proposed conditions,
as drafted by the Coastal Commission Staff. In general, the City agrees with the review
and conclusions reached by the Coastal Commission staff in this matter. Further, the City
is willing to agree to Special Condition #1, removing from its application the request for
new, additional, 1 hour restricted parking between 5 Street to 12 Street. The City
_ would like to retain the right to apply to the Commission at a later date for this additional,
new, 1 hour restricted parking depending on the parking situation after the parking meters
have been installed.
With regard to Special Conditions # 2,3, and 4, the City concurs and agrees to each of
these conditions. However, the City would like to clarify that Special Condition #2 refers
to the parking program contained within the permit being applied for, and issued, through
this application. This would include the following: parking meters on Main St., and the
after the fact approval for parking meters installed without a valid Coastal Commission
permit. Any outstanding issues outside the scope of this application and subsequent
permit would not be subject to the 5 year review period. Additionally, to clarify, the
study being required by condition #2 is acceptable to the City of Seal Beach. However, it
seems unreasonable for the City to be required to stop every person in this large an area
and physically be able to contact every person in this area to ask the nature of their trip.
The City understands the importance of the data being sought and agrees to the concept
of the study, and that this data is important when analyzing the parking habits of the
beach -going public. The understanding reached between the Coastal Commission staff
•
and the City of Seal Beach staff, which calls for a random sampling and /or minimum
number of persons to talk to (which will give statistically valid results) will accomplish
the goal of attaining the data to help analyze the parking behavior. As such, with these
minimal clarifications, the City of Seal Beach agrees to all the conditions as set forth by
the Coastal Commission staff. The City appreciates the cooperation shown by your staff
in considering our application.
Representatives of the City Council and city staff will be present at the Commission
meeting to address the Commission on this matter and respond to questions or concerns
of the Commission.
Please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Mac Cummins, AICP, Associate Planner, at (562)
431 -2527 x316 should you have any questions regarding the application before you, or
the City's position regarding the proposed special conditions on the pending California
Coastal Permit.
Sincerely,
A,4afie

APPLICATION NUMBER: 5- 02-422
APPLICANTS: City of Seal Beach
PROJECT LOCATION: Main Street between Pacific Coast Highway and Ocean Avenue;
Electric Avenue, Central Avenue, and Ocean Avenue between 5th
Street and 12 Street; and 5 Street through 12 Street from Ocean
Avenue to Pacific Coast Highway, in the City of Seal Beach (Orange
County). ,
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Addition of parking meters to Main Street and adjacent streets;
restriction of parking between 5 Street and 12 Street to 1 -hour
parking (8 AM to 6 PM) and "After the Fact" approval for 80 off- street
parking meter spaces located along Main Street as well as the
replacement of these existing meters with new meters.
SUMMARY OF STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
The major issue of this staff report concerns public access and recreation policies of the Coastal Act..
The project involves management of parking for competing uses rather than the inadequate supply of
parking. The competing uses for parking involve three main groups: 1) residents and their guests; 2)
commercial visitors and employees (Main Street); and 3) beach visitors. Staff is recommending
APPROVAL of the proposed project subject to Four (4) Special Conditions requiring: 1) revised
project plans that would eliminate the proposed 1 -hour restrictions between 5 Street to 12 Street; 2)
limiting the authorization of the parking program approved by this permit to a five year time limit, at the
end of which the applicant may reapply for a new permit to reauthorize the parking program provided
there are no adverse impacts caused by the parking program; 3) placing the applicant on notice that any
change to the parking program will require Commission approval; and 4) condition compliance.

IV. FINDINGS AND DECLARATIONS:
The Commission hereby finds and declares:
A. PROJECT LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION
1. Project Location
The proposed project area consists of: 1) Main Street between Pacific Coast Highway and Ocean
Avenue; 2) Electric Avenue, Central Avenue, and Ocean Avenue between 5 Street and 12
Street; and 3) 5 Street through 12 Street from Ocean Avenue to Pacific Coast Highway, in the
City of Seal Beach (Orange County) (Exhibit #1). The project area begins at the first public road
paralleling the beach and extends 2 blocks inland (3 blocks inland for Main Street) and 15 blocks
upcoast/downcoast.
On Main Street, commercial uses can be found along its stretch of three linear city blocks, which
serves as the commercial core in the City's Main Street Specific Plan area (Old Town Area).
Toward the rear of the Main Street businesses are alleys, which provide access to random private
parking provisions at the back of these buildings. All roadways on Main Street are typically two -
way with a single travel lane plus a parking lane in each direction. Main Street has diagonal
parking along most of its length, except for some parallel spaces in the 300 block northeast on the
approach to the traffic signal at Pacific Coast Highway. •
Upcoast and downcoast of Main Street are residential areas, which cover the majority of the
project area. These residential Tots are typically less than 3, 000 square feet and are developed
with single - family dwellings, duplexes and apartments.
2. Project Description
The City proposes the following: 1) addition of parking meters on Main Street and adjacent streets;
2) restriction of parking from 5 Street to 12 Street to 1 -hour parking (8 AM to 6 PM) and 3) "After
the Fact" approval of parking meters at 80 off - street parking spaces located along Main Street as
well as the replacement of these existing meters with new ones (Exhibit #3). Main Street is a -
commercial area with numerous types of uses such as restaurants and retail shops. The
remaining portion of the project area is residential development. The following is a more thorough
description of the proposed project:
•
5 -02- 422 -[City of Seal Beach]
Regular Calendar
Page 6of19
a) Addition of Parking Meters to Main Street
The installation of parking meters along Main Street and the streets immediately adjoining
commercial properties along Electric Avenue, Central Avenue and Ocean Avenue.
Currently, there are 185 parking space on Main Street that are non - metered and have a 2-
hour parking maximum. Existing parking along Electric Avenue between 8th Street and 10
Street is unrestricted, while parking along Central Avenue and Ocean Avenue between 8th
Street and 10 Street is restricted to 1 -hour. The 185 parking spaces located on Main
Street will be changed to metered parking with a 2 -hour maximum and the 38 existing
parking spaces located on Electric Avenue, Central Avenue and Ocean Avenue from Main
Street to mid -block will be converted to metered parking with a 2 -hour maximum as well (a
total of 223 parking spaces along Main Street and adjoining commercial streets will be
converted to metered parking with a 2 -hour maximum) (Exhibit #3).
These parking meters will be designed to have 2 heads on each pole, servicing 2 parking
spaces. The meters are proposed to accept both change and pre -paid cards as payment.
The City is proposing to charge $1.00 per hour, with a 2 -hour maximum, from 8 AM to 6
PM. Parking would be free between the hours of 6 PM and 8 AM, though the City intends
to continue to enforce the 2 -hour maximum with the use of signage.
There are currently 34 spaces (included within the 185 parking spaces available on Main
Street), which are 24- minute maximum spaces. These spaces exist currently as loading
and unloading zones. These spaces would remain in effect, and the parking meters at
these spaces would only accept up to 24- minute worth of money.
b) Restriction of Parking From 5 Street to 12 Street to 1 -Hour Parking (8 AM to 6
PM) (Residential Area)
In addition to installation of parking meters on Main Street, the City is proposing to unify the
area parking restrictions between 5 Street to 12 Street to be 1 -hour parking between the
hours of 8 AM to 6 PM. Currently, there are 510 1 -hour restricted parking spaces and 411
unrestricted parking spaces between 5 Street and 12 Street in the area bounded by
Ocean Avenue and Electric Avenue (Exhibit #2). The existing parking restrictions were
initiated prior to Proposition 20 and the Coastal Act, but have undergone numerous
changes since then, as detailed in Section IV.A.3. of this staff report. Parking along 8th
Street and 10 Street is currently restricted to 1 -hour on both sides of the street, while
parking from 5 Street to 7 Street and 11 Street to 12 Street has 1 -hour restricted
parking on one side (Eastside) and unrestricted parking on the other side (Westside) of the
street. The existing 411 unrestricted parking spaces will be changed to 1 -hour restricted
parking spaces under the proposed project. Post project, there will be 921 1 -hour
restricted parking spaces between 5 Street and 12 Street and no unrestricted parking
spaces. The number of restricted and unrestricted parking spaces would change, but the
overall existing number of un- metered parking spaces will remain the same. The City
would post signs restricting the parking, and it would enforce those provisions accordingly.

c) "After the Fact" Approval for 80 Off- Street Parking Meter Spaces Located Along
Main Street As Well As the Replacement of These Existing Meters With New
Meters
The City currently has three (3) Tots on Main Street that have traditional parking meters.
The City acknowledges that no Coastal Development Permit was issued for the installation
of these parking meters. Ordinance No. 1489 was passed, approved and adopted on
September 23, 2002, which established parking meters on these three lots (Exhibit #17).
There are two (2) Tots at Electric Avenue and Main Street and one (1) lot north of Ocean
Avenue between Main Street and 10 Street. There are 80 parking spaces in these three
(3) metered Tots (Exhibit #3). These meters were installed without a Coastal Development
Permit. Therefore, the installation of these meters is part of the current project submittal as
well as the replacement of the existing meters with new meters.
The new parking meters will be designed to have 2 heads on each pole, servicing 2 parking
spaces such as the parking meters to be installed on the on- street Main Street parking
spaces. The meters are proposed to accept both change and pre -paid cards as payment.
The City is proposing to charge $1.00 per hour, with a 2 -hour maximum, 8 AM to 6
PM. Parking would be free between the hours of 6 PM and 8 AM, though the City intends
to continue to enforce the 2 -hour maximum with the use of signage.
The City states that the installation of 223 parking meters along Main Street, between Pacific
Coast Highway and Ocean Avenue is necessary to control beach - parking activities along Main
Street, and to encourage better utilization of beach, commercial and residential parking within the
project area. Beneficiaries are anticipated to be the business operators along Main Street and the
City. One of the principle intents of this application is to direct visitors away from Main Street
commercial corridor to the beach parking Tots if their destination is the beach. The parking spaces
on Main Street are utilized by many beach goers at the expense of the beach Tots, because
parking on Main Street is free. This leads to Main Street being unable to provide adequate parking .
for the potential customers of the retail and restaurant uses that flank the street. Use of parking
meters with a 2 -hour restriction would direct most of those individuals who currently parking on ,
Main Street to the beach Tots and the other surrounding areas. The meters would discourage any
beach goers who intend to stay at the beach for more than 2 -hours from parking in this area .
because the 2 -hour limit would mean that the parking available on Main Street provides an
insufficient amount of time for them. This redirected traffic would potentially park on the
surrounding residential streets, where approximately 1 /2 of the on- street public parking spaces are
unrestricted. From 1 Street to Seal Beach Boulevard one side (Eastside) of the street is limited to
1 -hour parking, while the other side (Westside) of the street is unrestricted. In order to prevent
these residential parking spaces from being taken up by beach goers, the City also proposes the
limiting of parking between 5 Street to 12 Street on both sides of the street to 1 -hour parking.
The 1 -hour restriction would effectively prevent beachgoers from parking on these residential
streets because, for the vast majority of beachgoers, 1 -hour is not an adequate amount of time to
enjoy the beach. ,
3. History of Existing Parking Programs .
Within the project area and including the two (2) public beach parking Tots immediately seaward of
the project area, there are currently 2,490 parking spaces, of which 1,948 are on- street parking
•
5 -02- 422 -[City of Seal Beach]
Regular Calendar
Page 8 of 19
spaces and 542 are off - street parking spaces (comprised of 80 parking spaces in three (3)
metered lots and 462 parking spaces in two (2) beach parking lots adjacent to the Seal Beach
Pier) (Exhibit #2). The project description does not include the two (2) beach parking lots adjacent
to the Seal Beach Pier. However, they are included in the City's analysis and the parking supply.
The total number of parking spaces along Main Street from Ocean Avenue to Pacific Coast
Highway (excluding municipally owned parking lots) accounts for 185 parking spaces, including 34
parking spaces with a 24- minute time restriction.
The following is a discussion of the project area and the background of the institution and
subsequent changes to the existing residential and merchant/employee parking permit programs.
The numerous changes to these parking programs show the importance of the public on- street
parking spaces in this area for residents and their guests, commercial customers, employees and
the general public for access to the beach, which is immediately adjacent to this parking area.
- a) Municipally Owned Beach Lots
There are two (2) beach lots (8 Street Beach Parking Lot and 10 Street Beach Parking
Lot) that contain a total of 462 parking spaces and are located adjacent to the Seal Beach
Pier and public beach (Exhibit #2). A pay and park system is currently in use on these Tots.
This system works by having a customer driver park their car, purchase a ticket and then
place it on their dash. The City currently charges fees for these lots on a sliding scale, with
reduced costs in the morning or evening. Residents can buy an annual pass for $60 and
non - residents can buy the same pass for $75. This allows the individual to park in the
beach lots any time the lot is open. The beach lots are open form 6 AM to 10 PM daily.
Daily passes can be purchased for $6, or for the reduced rate of $2 before 10 AM or after 6
• PM, which are valid until the beach lot closes at 10 PM. Additionally, 2 -hour passes can be
purchased for $3. There is no hourly rate at beach Tots.
The City has recently informed Commission staff that individuals with merchant/employee
parking permits can park at the two (2) beach lots located adjacent to the Seal Beach Pier.
There is another beach lot located at 1 Street, which has 125 parking spaces for the
public. A pay and park system is currently in use on this lot as well. However, the City did
not include this lot in the study area for the proposed project because it is far removed from
the more popular central core area near the pier and the beach area is primarily used by
surfers and windsurfers.
•
b) Main Street
Currently, along Main Street there are 185 2 -hour maximum parking spaces available
(Exhibit #2). There are currently 34 spaces (included within the 185 parking spaces
available on Main Street), which are 24- minute maximum spaces. Signage informs the
public about the parking restrictions. The parking spaces are monitored by parking
enforcement by chalking the tires of a vehicle and then checking it at a later time. .
Commission staff has researched to determine if the existing restricted 2 -hour parking on
Main Street was pre - coastal or if a Coastal Development permit was issued for this
restriction. The City of Seal Beach installed parking meters along Main Street in the
1960's, with the purpose of the meters being to collect revenues to pay for the parking lot
5 -02- 422 -[City of Seal Beach]

adjacent to the Fire Department building at the corner of Central Avenue and 8th Street,
commonly referred to as the 8 Street parking lot.
Commission staff has determined that on April 24, 1972, the City passed Resolution No.
2095, which limited parking to 1- houralong the Westside of the street. On March 12, 1973,
the City passed Resolution No. 2186, which revised the parking restriction to 2 -hours along
Main Street. The City also passed Resolution No. 2269, which repealed Resolution No.
2186. This resolution however reinstituted 2 -hour parking on Main Street., The City
submitted a copy of this resolution (No. 2269) to Commission staff, however the page that
stated when it was adopted was missing. On June 14, 1976, the City approved resolution
No. 2560, which approved removal of the parking meters along Main Street and also
reinstated the 1 -hour parking restriction along Main Street (both sides) from Pacific Coast
Highway to Ocean Avenue.
•
Currently, parking is limited to 2 -hours on Main Street. However, the date of the change
from 1 -hour parking to 2 -hour parking is not known. The changes that occurred after
February 1, 1973 required a Coastal Development Permit under Proposition 20 or under
the Coastal Act, however no such permit was obtained by the City for these changes.
Therefore, a possible violation may have occurred. The matter has been referred to the
Commission's Enforcement division for further investigation.
c) Municipally Owned 8 Street Parking Lot .
There are 58 parking spaces available in this lot, which serves City Hall and the Fire
Department (Exhibit #2). Parking during the day in this lot is basically for City employees.
In the evenings after 6 PM and on the weekends, the lot is open to the public.
The City has recently informed Commission staff that individuals with merchant/employee
parking permits can park at the 8 Street City Employee Parking Lot. The date this
program went into effect is unknown.
d) Municipally Owned Metered Lots on Main Street
The City currently has three (3) lots on Main Street that have traditional parking meters
(Exhibit #2). There are two (2) lots at Electric Avenue and Main Street and one (1) lot north
of Ocean Avenue between Main Street and 1 0 th Street. There are 80 parking spaces in
these three (3) metered lots. These meters were installed after the effective date of the
Coastal Act without a Coastal Development Permit.
e) 1 Street to 4 Street; 8 Street; 10 Street and 5 Street to Electric Avenue /Ocean
Avenue (Residential Area)
Currently, there are 953 1 -hour time limit parking spaces on one side (Eastside) of the
street. The parking restriction is in effect between the hours of 9 AM to 6 PM, enforced
daily, including Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. On the other side (Westside) of the
street are•772 unrestricted parking spaces. On 8 Street and 10 Street, the public parkins
spaces on both sides of the street have fixed 1 -hour time limit parking restrictionsspaces.
There are a total of 1,725 restricted and unrestricted parking spaces in this area (Exhibit
#2).

f) Residential Parking Permits
The City issues residential parking permits to individuals who can show that they
live within the City and it allows them to park in restricted areas for an unlimited
amount of time. The cost of the permit is $10 annually. A total of 2,100 residential
parking permits were issued in the last fiscal year.
In order to analyze this program and its public access impacts, Commission staff
requested all documents regarding the origin and all changes associated with the
residential parking (preferential) program (Exhibits #4 -17).
Ordinance No. 631 was passed, approved and adopted on September 16, 1963 by
the Seal Beach City Council, which established a parking permit program allowing
resident exceptions to parking in restricted areas (Exhibit #4). However it did not
specifically focus on any particular area, being available City -wide.
On April 24, 1972 the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2095, which limited
parking on one side of certain streets within the project area to 1 -hour parking
(Exhibit #5). This occurred prior to Proposition 20 regulatory period under the
jurisdiction of the predecessor Commission therefore did not required a coastal
development permit from the predecessor Commission. Since its inception on April
24, 1972 changes have been made to this program.
Resolution No. 2139 was passed, approved and adopted on August 28, 1972 by the
Seal Beach City Council, which rescinded Resolution 2095 and reinstated
restrictions on parking on one side of certain streets within the project area to 1- .
hour parking and expanded the restriction areas (Exhibit #6). Again, this occurred
prior to the permit requirements of Proposition 20.
.Ordinance No. 995 was passed, approved and adopted on June 28, 1976 by the
Seal Beach City Council, which repealed Ordinance No. 631 and revised the
provisions for residential parking permits in certain areas of the project area (Exhibit
#11). This occurred during the Proposition 20 regulatory period under the
' jurisdiction of the predecessor Commission, therefore required a permit. Further,
since its inception on June 28, 1976 changes have been made to the permit
program.
Ordinance No. 1099 was passed, approved and adopted on July 27, 1981 by the
Seal Beach City Council, which allowed residents of the City to park for 2 -hours on
certain streets within the project area (Exhibit #12). This occurred after the
passage of the Coastal Act, therefore required a permit from the Coastal
Commission. -
Ordinance No. 1124 was passed, approved and adopted on July 26, 1982 by the
Seal Beach City Council, which revised provisions regarding among other things
residential parking (Exhibit #14). This ordinance allowed the resident to purchase
two (2) guest parking permits. This occurred after the passage of the Coastal Act,
therefore required a permit from the Coastal Commission.

Ordinance No. 1173 was passed, approved and adopted January 14, 1985 by the
City of Seal Beach, which revised the locations where residents and other permit
holders could park with this permit (Exhibit #15). This ordinance allowed individuals
with permits to park in the Main Street Municipal lots and the 8th Street employee _
parking lot over night. This occurred after the passage of the Coastal Act, therefore
required a permit from the Coastal Commission.
Resolution No. 4242 was passed, approved and adopted June 28, 1993 by the Seal
Beach City Council, which reaffirmed resident only parking in the project area
(Exhibit #16). This occurred after the passage of the Coastal Act, therefore
required a permit from the Coastal Commission.
As detailed above many aspects of the resident parking program occurred during
the Proposition 20 regulatory period or after the passage of the Coastal Act.
Therefore, permits from the Coastal Commission for these actions were necessary.
Additionally, several changes have been made to this preferential parking program.
These changes required a Coastal Development Permit under Proposition 20 or
under the Coastal Act, however no such permit was obtained by the City for these
changes. The City is not seeking authorization for this existing unpermitted
development through this application. Since the residential parking permit program
is not before the Commission as part of the proposed project, review of this
program will be done at a later time by the Commission's Enforcement division to
determine if any violations have occurred. The matter has been referred to the
Commission's Enforcement division for further investigation.
g) Merchant/Employee Parking Permits
The City issues merchant/employee parking permits to individuals who can show
that they work or own a business within the City. The cost of the permit is $10
annually. A total of 200 merchant/employee permits were issued in the last fiscal
year.
In order to analyze this program and its public access impacts, Commission staff
requested all documents regarding the origin and all changes associated with the
merchant/employee parking program (Exhibits #4 -17).
. The merchant/employee program was passed, approved and adopted on June 28,
1976 by the City of Seal Beach as Ordinance No. 995. These parking permits
allowed the business person or employee to park all day in the municipal parking
lots abutting Main Street. This occurred during the Proposition 20 regulatory period
under the jurisdiction of the predecessor Commission, therefore required a permit
from the Coastal Commission. Since its inception on June 28, 1976 changes have
been made to this program (Exhibit #11).
Ordinance No. 1173 was passed, approved and adopted January 14, 1985 by the
Seal Beach City Council, which revised the locations where merchants /employees
and other permit holders could park with this permit (Exhibit #15). This ordinance
allowed individuals with this permit to park in the Main Street Municipal lots and the
S Street Employee Parking Lot over night. This occurred after the inception of the
Coastal Act, therefore required a permit from the Coastal Commission.

The City has recently informed Commission staff that individuals with .
merchant/employee parking permits can currently park in either the 8th Street City
employee parking lot or the two (2) beach Tots located adjacent to the Seal Beach
Pier.
As detailed above many aspects of the resident parking _program occurred during
. the Proposition 20 regulatory period or after the passage of the Coastal Act.
Therefore, permits from the Coastal Commission for these actions were necessary.
Additionally, several changes have been made to this preferential parking program.
These changes required a Coastal Development Permit under Proposition 20 or

Commission's Enforcement division for further investigation.
B. PUBLIC ACCESS AND RECREATION
One of the strongest goals of the Coastal Act is to protect, provide and enhance public access to and
along the coast.
Section 30210 of the Coastal Act states:
In carrying out the requirement of Section 4 of Article X of the California Constitution,
maximum access, which shall be conspicuously posted, and recreational opportunities
shall be provided for all the people consistent with public safety needs and the need to
protect public rights, rights of private property owners, and natural resource areas
from overuse.
Section 30211 of the Coastal Act states:
Development shall not interfere with the public's right of access to the sea where
acquired through use or legislative authorization, including, but not limited to, the use
of dry sand and rocky coastal beaches to the first line of terrestrial vegetation.
Section 30212.5 of the Coastal Act states:
Wherever appropriate and feasible, public facilities, including parking areas or
facilities, shall be distributed throughout an area so as to mitigate against the impacts,
social and otherwise, or overcrowding or overuse by the public of any single area.
5 -02- 422 -[City of Seal Beach]
Regular Calendar
Page 13 of 19
Section 30213 of the Coastal Act states in part: ' -
Lower cost visitor and recreational facilities shall be protected, encouraged, and,
where feasible, provided. Developments providing public recreational opportunities.
are preferred.
Section 30252(4):
The location and amount of new development should maintain and enhance public
access to the coast by ...providing adequate parking facilities or providing substitute
means of serving the development...
In preliminary studies that led to the adoption of the Coastal Act, the Commission and the Legislature
reviewed evidence that land uses directly adjacent to the beach were required to be regulated to protect
access and recreation opportunities. These sections of the Coastal Act state that priority of new
development near beach areas shall be given to uses that provide support for recreation. The
proposed project's major issue deals with the management of parking for competing uses rather than
the inadequate supply of parking. The competing uses for parking involve three main groups: 1)
residents and their guests; 2) commercial visitors and employees (Main Street); and 3) beach visitors.
A Main Street Parking Meter Study by the City of Seal Beach was completed in September 2002 for the
project area. The study addressed the need for a more comprehensive approach to parking
management in the Old Town Area (along Main Street):
"The parking study for the Main St. area comprises a comprehensive look at the existing parking
• issues relating to the commercial corridor of Main St. and the immediate adjoining streets of
Ocean Avenue, Central avenue, and Electric Avenue. It further analyzes demand for parking in
those areas and discusses different ways of addressing the problems of parking, while
considering possible revenue generation." -
This study also analyzed the Parking and Traffic Study by Zucker Systems completed in 1996 and came
to a similar conclusion:
"The Main Street Specific Plan essentially found that demand and supply were in relative
balance for the overall amount of parking provided in the downtown area. The reason for this _
was that the only paid parking at the time was at the beach lot, and the study further concluded
that people were underutilizing the beach lots and parking on Main St. The problem persists
today, with employees and beach goers using parking on Main St. rather than using other
available parking. Demand for parking on Main St. is high, particularly in the summer time.
While there are available spaces, the main bulk of those spaces (85 % +) are utilized. The
average person perceives there to be a deficiency in parking when more than 80% of the parking
is utilized."
In order to determine the use of parking in the project area, Commission staff in January of 2003
requested a parking demand study. In response to this request, the City submitted a parking demand
study (Down Town Parking Study) in August of 2003 prepared by W.G. Zimmermann Engineering, Inc..
The purpose of this analysis was to determine beach access, residential, and business parking
requirements, and propose alternative solutions to meet these needs. The study area of the report was
the project area. The 1 Street beach parking lot, municipally owned 8th Street parking lot and private
5 -02- 422 -[City of Seal Beach]
Regular Calendar
Page 14 of 19
parking spaces located behind the businesses that front Main Street were not included in the study.
The study states:
"The City of Seal Beach total beach area is approximately 52 acres. From typical field
observations, visitors to the beach park between Electric Avenue and Ocean Avenue from First _
Street/Marina Drive to Dolphin /Marine Avenues. Beach visitors tend to park within the first two
blocks from Ocean Avenue. This is dependent on the amount of items carried to the beach to
support their activities. Parking within the first block from Ocean Avenue is preferred."
The study was conducted on a weekday (Wednesday, May 7, 2003) and on a weekend (Saturday, May
10, 2003). Commission staff questioned why the study was not conducted during the traditional peak
beach use period (i.e. Memorial Day through Labor Day.). The City stated they were responding to the
Commission staff request for the information but did not want to wait until the peak season to conduct
the study. While the report was not done during the typical peak season, the City stated that the study
was done on two of the warmest days of that month. The study analyzed the parking demand as
follows:
"Weekday and Weekend parking demand calculation based upon the City of Seal Beach's beach
area of 52 acres are described below.
Weekday
Based upon the ITE " Trip Generation Manual, 6th Edition, the weekday peak hours traffic
generation average rate for beach parking is 1.30 trips per acre per hour, which will require 68
parking spaces per hour.
A parking utilization count was conducted for the study area on Wednesday, May 7, 2003
between the hours of 7:00 am to 5:00 pm, found the following results during the 1 -hour heavy
parking penod ..."
The study determined for weekday use, the following: 1) on- street parking spaces (942 = utilized and
1,006 = available); 2) Main Street off - street parking lot spaces (excluding the Main Street at Electric
Avenue parking lots due to the proximity to the beach) (5 = utilized and 37 = available); 3) 8th Street
beach parking lot (52 = utilized and 194 = available); and 4) 10 Street beach parking lot (20 = utilized
and 196 = available). Further, the study found that 1,433 parking spaces available during the 1 -hour
heaviest weekday - parking period exceeded the required 68 peak -hour demand parking spaces. In
conclusion, the weekday parking utilization rate was 42% (1,019/2,452 x100 =42 %).
Furthermore the study analyzed the parking demand as follows:
Week End
Based upon the ITE " Trip Generation Manual, 6th Edition, the weekday peak hours traffic
generation average rate for beach parking is 1.54 trips per acre per hour, 'which will require 80
parking spaces per hour.
A parking utilization count was conducted for the study area on Saturday, May 10, 2003 between
the hours of 7:00 am to 5:00 pm, found the following results during the 1 -hour heavy parking
period..."
5 -02- 422 -[City of Seal Beach]
Regular Calendar
Page 15 of .19
The study determined for weekend use, the following: 1) on- street parking spaces (1,265 = utilized and
683 = available); 2) Main Street off - street parking lot spaces (excluding the Main Street at Electric
Avenue parking Tots due to the proximity to the beach) (27 = utilized and 25 = available); 3) 8th Street
beach parking lot (51 = utilized and 195 = available); and 4) 10 Street beach parking lot (74 = utilized
and 142 = available). The 1,045 parking spaces available during the 1 -hour heaviest weekday - parking
period also was found to exceed the required 80 peak -hour demand parking spaces. The weekend
parking utilization rate was determined to be 58% (1,417/2,452 x 100 =58 %).
During the weekday analysis, the study determined that out of an available 462 parking spaces in the
beach parking lots, only 72 of those spaces were occupied during the 1 -hour weekday heaviest parking
period. During the weekend analysis, the study determined that out of an available 462 parking spaces
in the beach parking Tots, only 125 of those spaces were occupied during the 1 -hour weekend heaviest
parking period. These numbers back up the City's assertion that the beach lots are currently
underutilized. However, these figures also support the idea that a good number of beach goers are
probably parking in free on- street parking spaces in the project area rather than in the beach parking
lots, which require a fee. During the 1 —hour heaviest parking period, a beach goer would have to pay
'$6 to park or purchase a 2 -hour pass for $3.
Also, a Parking and Traffic Study by Zucker Systems for the similar project area was completed in 1996
and concluded similar results. The project boundaries for this study were smaller and only included the
area bordered by 5 Street, Pacific Coast Highway, 12 Street and Ocean Avenue, plus the two (2)
beach lots parking Tots southwest of Ocean Avenue adjacent to the Seal Beach Pier. The parking
inventory included on- street and off- street parking spaces. The 1 Street beach parking lot and the
municipally owned 8 Street parking lot were not included in this study. This study analyzed the parking
supply and demand in the Main Street Specific Plan area, and summarized the investigation of existing
parking opportunities and constraints:
"The study area has been visited and both on- street and off - street parking provisions and
characteristics have been inventoried. The existing parking demand in the area was determined
based on Saturday parking counts completed by the City of Seal Beach (see Appendix E). The
parking counts were completed each hour during the mid -day (noon to 2:00 PM) and evening
(6:00 PM to 9:00 PM) peak periods on April 9, 1994 (Saturday, non -peak season) and on July 2,
• 1994 (Saturday, peak season, July 4 weekend).
The study concluded:
"Briefly, the parking counts indicate that the majority of the on- street parking spaces in the study
area, as well as the parking in the public parking lots adjacent to Main Street are occupied during
peak periods. However, parking in the beach lot is generally under utilized, with 48 percent of
the parking spaces vacant at 1:00 PM on Saturday, July 2, 1994, which was when the peak
parking demand for the beach lot was observed."
This study provides additional information that supports the City's assertion that the beach lots are
currently underutilized. The study states that it uses 85% occupancy as a threshold for parking
occupancy that represents difficulty in finding a parking space in that area. The study continues that
during the non -peak season (Saturday, April 9, 1994), the beach parking lots were only 20% occupied,
while the remaining areas exceeded 85% during the peak parking demand. During the peak season
(Saturday, July 2, 1994), the beach parking lots were only 48% occupied, while the remaining areas
(except the alleys) exceeded 85% during the peak parking demand.
5 -02- 422 -[City of Seal Beach]
Regular Calendar
Page 16 of 19
During the 4 of July weekend peak parking demand period, only approximately 50% of the spaces in
the beach Tots were filled while residential and Main Street parking were near capacity. This supports
the idea that a good number of beach goers rather park in free parking spaces within a reasonable
distance from the beach rather than in the beach parking lots. Presumably at least some of the people
who park in the residential area would be discouraged from going to the beach at all if they had to pay
the fee required to park in the lot. Therefore, the residential streets in the surrounding area should
remain unrestricted in order to maximize public access opportunities.
The Commission has acted on numerous parking program requests in the South Coast District including
Hermosa Beach, Venice, Santa Monica, and Long Beach. In those applications the Commission has
allowed resident and other permit programs to exclude general beach going public from parking in those
areas. However, where the Commission has excluded the general beach goers from free parking, the
local government was required to replace elsewhere the lost parking, and that replacement parking was
- also required to be free of charge. In those cases where the local government precluded beach goers
from free on- street parking to the beach going public, additional free on- street parking was also
required. The proposed project would displace beach goers from free on- street parking, leaving only '
paid parking in the beach lots as an alternative. Although the City is proposing to eliminate free,
unrestricted on- street parking, the City is not proposing to replace it elsewhere. This action would be
preced'ential for the South Coast District area.
Therefore, the Commission finds that the proposed 1 -hour parking limitation for the remaining 411 on-
street public parking spaces within the residential area is inconsistent with the public access policies of
the Coastal Act. The Commission therefore imposes Special Condition No. 1, which eliminates this
aspect of the proposed parking program. .
The majority of the proposed parking meters are located inland of the public beach area (the City
also proposes a few adjacent to the beach on the Southside of Ocean Avenue at the intersection
of Main Street). In Southern California, the Commission has determined that the minimal time
needed on a parking meter in order to have adequate time to enjoy the beach for the average
beach goer is 4- hours. The proposed parking meters will have a maximum of 2- hours. 2 -hours is
an adequate amount of time in this case since a majority of the parking meters are immediately
adjacent to a commercial area and not the public beach area. Patrons of commercial uses
typically want to park as close to the commercial use as possible and by allowing 2 -hour meters,
this would be accomplished. This 2 -hour limit also creates turnover. Additionally, there are
parking spaces for commercial visitors in the municipally owned parking lots (3 Tots) off Main Street
and there are 415 off - street parking spaces located in alleys behind businesses that front Main
Street provided exclusively for the patrons and employees of these individual businesses. By
restricting the time to 2- hours, it will aid in the acceptable management of the parking spaces
closest to commercial uses. While the restrictions would effectively prevent most beach goers
from using the parking spaces, beach visitors can use the beach parking lot or the unrestricted
parking spaces located in the adjacent residential area. The issue is not the availability of
adequate parking for the competing users, but the management of those parking spaces.
The City is concerned that with the institution of 2 -hour meter parking on Main Street, that beach goers
will overburden the adjacent residential area that has unrestricted parking. This concern is expressed
below in the Main Street Parking Meter Study:
. 5 -02- 422 -[City of Seal Beach]
Regular Calendar
. Page 17 of 19
"...By putting in meters along Main St., the City can gain access to needed revenues and fairly
allocate parking demand. In addition, to this, staff is aware that there may be some spillover
effect to neighboring residential streets., By continuing to enforce the parking on those
streets, staff is confident that the vast majority of patrons to Main St. commercial businesses will
pay and park along main St., rather than park their car on 8t`' or 10 Sts. and spend time waikin_g
to and from where they are going on Main St., only to have t return to move the car less than .
an hour later. In order to further this and to make the system uniform, staff is recommending
implementing one hour parking be implemented on all streets between 5fh St. & 120 St."
However, restricting the currently unrestricted public on- street parking spaces located in the residential
neighborhood between 5 Street and 12 Street would adversely impact public access. Currently, on
one side (Eastside) of the streets between 5 Street to 12 Street is limited 1 -hour parking and on the
other side (Westside) is unrestricted parking. Converting both sides of the street to 1 -hour parking will
not provide adequate time for those that wish to park in this public area to enjoy the beach thereby
precluding beach goers from using these public streets. Redirecting beach goers that are parked on
Main Street to the beach Tots or residential neighborhoods is acceptable because it manages access for
two priority Coastal Act uses; beach access and visitor serving commercial uses. But, under the City's
proposed parking restrictions for all residential between 5 Street to 12 Street, this area would
no longer beachgoers because one hour parking is not enough time to walk to the beach,
recreate and return to you car. One hour parking would completely eliminate the opportunity to park in
these spaces for the beach access.
The City has stated that the two highest demands for parking in the project area is for residential and
beach use. Restricting the residential area parking to 1 -hour would adversely impact access to the
beach. In addition, the parking spaces to be restricted include those located within the first two blocks
from Ocean Avenue. According to the Down Town Parking Study (2003) prepared by W. G.
Zimmermann Engineering, Inc., this is the area that the beach going public prefers to park their
automobiles. As proposed by the City, unrestricted parking will still be available between 1 Street to 4th
Street and between 13 Street to Ocean Avenue /Electric Avenue. These parking spaces are located at
the far east and west ends of the project area, not where the City's study shows is the beach parking
demand area. Thus, restricting these parking spaces would adversely impact public access to the coast
and be inconsistent with the public access provisions of the Coastal Act. ,
Therefore, Special Condition No. 1 is being imposed, which requires the applicant to submit revised
plans with the proposed 1 -hour restrictions and any associated signs eliminated from the following
streets: 1) Westside of 5 Street; 2) Westside of 6 Street; 3) Westside of 7 Street; 4) Westside of 11
Street; 5) Westside of 12 Street; 6) Southside of Electric Avenue from 6 Street to 12 Street; 7)
Southside of Central Avenue from 5 Street to 8 Street; 8) Northside of Central Avenue from 7 Street
to 8 Street; 9) Southside of Central Avenue from 10 Street to 12 Street; 10) Southside of Ocean
Avenue from 5 Street to 7 Street; and 11) Southside of Ocean Avenue from 10 Street to 12 Street.
As conditioned, the establishment of the parking program in the remaining project area will not
significantly impact public beach parking, at this time. However, with each subsequent year, as
Southern California's population increases, the amount of visitors to the beach will increase and there
will be an increase in the demand for short-term and long -term beach parking within the beach lots and
surrounding area. Therefore, to ensure that the approved parking restrictions will not adversely impact
beach access in the future, Special Condition No. 2 is being imposed. Special Condition No.
states that the authorization for the parking restrictions will terminate in five years. The City may apply
for a new permit to reauthorize the parking program. The City may also develop alternative parking for
5 -02- 422 -[City of Seal Beach]
Regular Calendar
Page 18 of 19
the public in the future that the Commission may consider as appropriate replacement parking to
mitigate the loss of public on- street spaces. If the City decides to continue the parking restrictions, prior
to the expiration of the authorization of the parking restrictions, the City shall submit a new permit
application which shall include a parking study that evaluates parking utilization for the streets within the
proposed parking zone and the nearby beach parking during the summer weekends. To gather
information that would be representative of the summer period the survey weekends shall be spread -out
over the summer period and not consecutive weekends. The study shall include a parking survey for
the streets within the zone and within the surrounding area to determine purpose of trip, length of stay,
parking location, destination, and frequency of visits.
Furthermore, to ensure that any change in the restrictions or size of the zone will not adversely impact
coastal access, Special Condition No. 3 is being imposed. Special Condition No. 3 states that any
proposed change in the hours, days, meter provision (time or fee) or boundaries of the proposed
parking program e will require an amendment to this permit.
Therefore, as conditioned, the proposed project is consistent with Sections 30210, 30 30212.5,
30213 and 30252 (4) of the Coastal Act.
C. UNPERMITTED DEVELOPMENT
Ordinance No. 1489 was passed, approved and adopted on September 23, 2002 by the City of
Seal Beach which allowed the installation of parking meters on three (3) municipal owned parking
Tots off Main Street. Also, currently there is 2 -hour on- street parking on Main Street. However, the
date of the change from 1 -hour parking on Main Street approved on June 14, 1976,by the City, as
Resolution No. 2560 to 2 -hour parking is not known. In addition, there have been changes to the
residential parking permit program and merchant/employee parking permit program since the
passage of Proposition 20 and the Coastal Act. There are no records of permits issued for these
developments. Although unpermitted development has taken place on the property prior to
submission of this permit application, consideration of the application by the Commission has been
based solely upon the Chapter 3 policies of the Coastal Act. Action by the Commission on the
permit does not constitute a waiver of any legal action with regard to the alleged violation nor does
it constitute an admission as to the legality of any development undertaken on the subject site
without a Coastal permit.
D. LOCAL COASTAL PROGRAM
Section 30600(c) of the Coastal Act provides for the issuance of coastal development permits
' directly by the Commission in regions where the local government having jurisdiction does not
have a certified local coastal program. The permit may only be issued if the Commission finds that
• the proposed development will not prejudice the ability of the local government to prepare a Local
Coastal Program, which conforms with Section 30604 of the Coastal Act.
On July 28, 1983, the Commission denied the City of Seal Beach Land Use Plan (LUP) as •
submitted and certified it with suggested modifications. The City did not act on the suggested
modifications within six months from the date of Commission action. Therefore, pursuant to
Section 13537(b) of the California Code of Regulations, the Commission's certification of the land
use plan with suggested modifications expired. The LUP has not been resubmitted for certification
since that time.

The proposed development, as conditioned, is consistent with the Chapter Three policies of the
Coastal Act. Therefore, the Executive Director finds that approval of the proposed development,
as conditioned, would not prejudice the ability of the City to prepare a certified coastal program
consistent with the Chapter 3 policies of the Coastal Act.
E. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA)
Section 13096(a) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations requires Commission approval
of Coastal Development Permit applications to be supported by a finding showing the application,
as conditioned by any conditions of approval, to be consistent with any applicable requirements of
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Section 21080.5(d)(2)(A) of CEQA prohibits a
proposed development from being approved if there are feasible alternatives or further feasible
mitigation measures available which would substantially lessen any significant adverse effect
which the activity may have on the environment.
As conditioned, the proposed,project has been found consistent with access and recreation
policies of the Coastal Act. Mitigation measures include: 1) revised project plans that would
eliminate the proposed 1 -hour restrictions between 5 Street to 12 Street; 2) limiting the
authorization of the parking program approved by this permit to a five year time limit provided there
is no adverse impacts caused by the parking program, at the end of which the applicant may
reapply for a new permit to reauthorize the parking program; 3) placing the applicant on notice that
any change to the parking program will require Commission approval; and 4) condition
compliance.
As conditioned, there are no feasible alternatives or additional feasible mitigation measures
available which would substantially lessen any significant adverse effect, which the activity may
have on the environment. Therefore, the Commission finds that the proposed project, as
conditioned to mitigate the identified impacts, is the least environmentally damaging feasible
alternative and can be found consistent with the requirements of the Coastal Act to conform to
. CEQA.
