SECTION 1. FINDINGS
A. Pursuant to Vehicle Code § 22508, cities must establish parking meter rates
by ordinance.
B. The last time the City of Hermosa Beach considered the parking meter rates
in the City was 2016.
C. The City Council received and accepted the Parking Management Study
and Recommended Parking Standards for the Coastal Zone in late 2019.
Among other things, this Parking Study recommended that the City
maintain its existing dual-rate structure that implements a demand pricing
program where meters in higher demand areas cost more in the City.
D. In order to better manage the City’s limited parking resources and
consistent with parking rates in comparable jurisdictions, parking meter
rates need to be increased.
SECTION 2. Parking Meter Rates. Section 10.36.010 (A) of the Hermosa Beach
Municipal Code is hereby amended to read as follows:
“A. Parking meter zones are those streets or portions of streets or public
parking lots established by Ordinance as zones within which the parking of
vehicles may be controlled, regulated and inspected with the aid of
parking meters. In the event that no parking meters are installed in any
parking space within such parking meter zones, the maximum time for
parking shall be as specified by this code or by Resolution of the City
Council.
Parking meter rates shall be set at $2.00 per hour. Between the hours of 8:00
p.m. and 2:00 a.m. daily, parking meter rates shall be set at $2.50 per hour.
