TITLE: Approve Resolution to Establish Permanent Parking Restrictions on
Central Avenue for Lido Marina Farmer's Market
ABSTRACT:
Through an agreement with the City, the Lido Marina Farmer's Market has reserved
seven public parking spots along Central Avenue to facilitate operations of the market.
To reserve these parking spots, temporary no parking /tow away signs are placed for
each event, requiring staff to erect and verify the signage weekly. To streamline the
process, staff proposes creation of Central Avenue parking restrictions and the
installation of fixed signs to restrict parking for the duration of the agreement.
Approve Resolution 2011- 95 to establish "No Parking -Tow Away" restrictions for
seven parking meter - controlled spots on Central Avenue from 7AM to 4PM, Sundays,
during the Lido Marina Farmers Market.
FUNDING REQUIREMENTS:
There is no fiscal impact related to this item.
DISCUSSION:
Through an agreement with the City, The Lido Marina Farmer's market occurs Sundays
on Via Oporto between Central Avenue and Via Lido. During the event, Central Avenue
is closed to vehicular traffic, including parking. To facilitate the operation of the event,
the applicant is permitted use of seven public parking meter - controlled parking stalls for
vendor parking.

Reservation of these parking spots requires weekly posting, verification, and removal of
temporary no parking /tow away signs, which the City provides to the applicant. This
process places a weekly burden on City and Farmer's Market staff to ensure the
process is followed properly.
To streamline the process, staff proposes creation of parking restrictions, allowing for
permanent signs to be placed. The proposed restrictions would prohibit parking within
the seven dedicated parking spots during the farmers market (SUNDAYS, .7:00 AM to
4:00 PM), except for permitted vehicles. The restrictions would also allow vehicle
removal to allow the Police Department to clear the parking spots for the intended use.
Per Municipal Code Sections 12.44.150 (A) and 12.40.190 (B), approval of Resolution
2011 - would allow staff to create and enforce the necessary parking restrictions and
allow for removal of vehicles parked within a posted zone.
If approved, parking restrictions related to the Lido Marina Village Farmer's Market
would be in place for the duration of the agreement. The restrictions would be removed
if the agreement expires or is terminated. The current agreement will expire on May
31st, 2016, and can be extended for an additional five years.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Staff recommends the City Council find this action is not subject to the California
Environmental Quality Act ( "CEQA ") pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will
not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the
environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378)
of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it
has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or
indirectly.
NOTICING:
The agenda item has been noticed according to the Brown Act (72 hours in advance of
the meeting at which the City Council considers the item).
