EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff recommends that the City Council allow parking by the general public in the Vincent and Vincent 2 Preferential Parking Districts on July 27th from 11:00 am to 7:00 pm to accommodate attendees of the Los Angeles County Police Canine Association (LACPCA) 23rd Annual Police Canine Demonstration and Educational Public Safety Fair.
BACKGROUND
The City Council has previously approved preferential parking districts on the north and south sides of the Redondo Union High School campus for certain special events held at the school facility. The Vincent District (including the 600 & 700 blocks of Vincent St. and the 100 and 400 blocks of El Redondo) restricts parking from 8:00 am to 10:00 pm daily. The Vincent 2 District (including the 800 through 1100 blocks of Vincent St. and the 200 blocks of N. Lucia, N. Juanita, and N. Irena Avenues) restricts parking from 2:00 pm to 10:00 pm Monday through Friday and from 8:00 am to 10:00 pm on Saturday.
The LACPCA 23rd Annual Police Canine Demonstration and Educational Public Safety Fair will take place at the Sea Hawk Bowl on the Redondo Union High School campus on Saturday, July 27th 2024, at 1:00 pm. The LACPCA is comprised of over forty law enforcement agencies in Los Angeles County that utilize canine resources in police work. For the past twenty years, many of these agencies have come together to stage a public police canine demonstration. The Police Department anticipates hundreds of attendees, many of whom will park on the south side of the school in the Vincent and Vincent 2 preferential parking districts.
Pursuant to section 3-7.1701 of the Municipal Code, the City Council may revise the hours of preferential parking districts. Staff requests City Council suspend the parking restrictions in the Vincent and Vincent 2 Preferential Parking Districts from 11:00 am to 7:00 pm on July 27, 2024 to allow attendees to park in these areas freely to attend the LACPCA 23rd Annual Police Canine Demonstration and Educational Public Safety Fair. Staff believes that the issuance of citations during this event would not be in the best interest of the community.
