Recommendation to receive supporting documentation into the record, conclude the public hearing, and adopt resolution amending the Local Coastal Program per the California Coastal Commission for consistency with the adopted Mobility Element of the General Plan; and accept the Categorical Exemption CE-15-165. (Districts 2,3)
Okay. Just keep going through the agenda here. We have two hearings tonight, hearing item number one, oath as required. So the city clerk will introduce the item. Report from Development Services recommendation to receive supporting documentation into the record, conclude the public hearing and adopt a resolution amending the local coastal program. Per the California Coastal Commission for Consistency with the adopted mobility element of the General Plan and accept the categorical exemption of 15165 districts. Two and three. Steph. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. The staff report will be given by Amy Burdick, our director of development services. Mr. Mayor, members of the City Council, as you know, the city adopted its award winning mobility element a couple of years ago because it is a citywide policy document, it is required to go to the Coastal Commission for certification for those aspects of the mobility element that are within the coastal zone. Coastal Commission staff has asked that the city make some minor revisions to the mobility element to ensure that it is consistent with our adopted local coastal plan. We have presented to you the information in the back on where we would strike out language in the LCP and then add language as well to ensure consistency. The biggest issue I think that I want to bring to your attention is that the Coastal Commission has asked us to exempt out a map in the mobility element. As it relates to preferential. Parking districts, because we do have two preferential parking districts in the coastal zone that the Coastal Commission says have not been certified by the Coastal Commission. So we would like to proceed with the changes that have been requested by the Coastal Commission, exempt out the map, showing the preferential parking districts and then submit the revised mobility element and the LCP to the Coastal Commission for their eventual certification. I'm happy to answer any specific questions you may have. Thank you. Thank you. Let me close the hearing and take any public comment on this, if there is any. Yes, sir. Very good. You clear? Because the address, just for the record. Where are these specific areas located? Where are the parking districts located? Mr. Rudd, as you know the process is your comment. It's not questions it's. Wasn't that you haven't indicated where you indicate you're asking for preferential parking spaces. I think the public has a right to know where those are located. That's I don't see that in the plan unless I overlooked it. There's also council questions that will be coming up as well. And do you have any other comments? I would hope that you would not pass this unless you put forward so the public knows where the preferential parking districts are. Period. Maybe there's some people that want to be included in that. Maybe there's some people that object to having press residential parking districts and so forth. Let's see what the impacts are in the neighborhood. You haven't list. There's nothing in. Unless I miss something, I don't see it in the file as to what block it is. Who's going to be blocked out? Who's going to get preferential treatment? Start earning your salaries. Start asking questions. Start putting the details out in the record. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Goodhue. Councilwoman Price, we've got a motion and then it has comments as well. Thank you. I have a couple of questions for Miss Bodak. So the. Preferential parking district. That is in district three. That's in Naples. Is that right? Yes, ma'am. It was established in 1988, I believe. One of the questions we often get and I'm sure a lot of coastal communities deal with this, is we have a lot of residents asking for preferential parking districts in parking impacted areas along the coast. And we're often told or we often advise them that Coastal Commission won't approve such restricted parking along the coast. But sometimes people will rebut that with by saying, well, what about SEAL Beach or other neighboring cities in the region that have it? Can you speak to that at all in terms of what? When do they allow it? When do they not allow it? How is it that this particular district in Naples was established after Coastal Commission had already been in existence? It appears. That this district. Was established and did not seek Coastal Commission authorization. Okay. So I and I can't speak to other coastal cities on how they've gotten their preferential parking districts approved. But we as city staff recognize the two parking districts in the coastal zone as being in existence. The Coastal Commission does not recognize those two districts as being in existence. If there were an attempt to establish a new preferential parking district, it would have to go to the Coastal Commission. I do suspect, based on their discussions with us related to this issue, that they would not be supportive of new preferential parking districts. And that has to do largely with access. It does have to do with access. They have a a requirement to encourage access to the coast that does not necessarily take into consideration an individual residential need to have parking in their neighborhood. So they really are two different policy issues that are at odds with each other. Thank you for answering those questions. And I will be making a motion at this time to approve the recommendation. Okay. Thank you. There's emotion. Any second. Vice Mayor Lowenthal. Dave, any comments? Nope. See no other council questions or comments. Then we will go ahead and take a vote on hearing one. Councilman Austin. Councilmember Richardson, a motion carries. Thank you. Next item, we have a second hearing. Hearing item number two, please.
