EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
For the interest of the community, staff recommends that the City Council temporarily waive the permit requirement and allow general public parking in the Vincent and Vincent 2 Preferential Parking Districts on July 26th from 10:00 am to 7:00 pm, to accommodate attendees of the Los Angeles County Police Canine Association (LACPCA) 24th Annual Police Canine Demonstration and Educational Public Safety Fair at Redondo Union High School.
BACKGROUND
The City Council established preferential parking districts near the Redondo Union High School (RUHS) campus, where parking permits are required. The “Vincent District,” which includes the 600 and 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,” which includes 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 24th Annual LACPCA Police Canine Demonstration and Educational Public Safety Fair will take place at the Sea Hawk Bowl on the RUHS campus on Saturday, July 26th, 2025, starting 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 over twenty years, many of these agencies have come together to stage a public police canine demonstration, which is frequently hosted at RUHS. 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 Redondo Beach Municipal Code, the City Council may revise the hours of preferential parking districts. In the interest of supporting community engagement and public safety education, staff respectfully recommends that the City Council temporarily suspend the permit parking restrictions in the Vincent and Vincent 2 Preferential Parking Districts on July 26, 2025 from 10:00 am to 7:00 pm. The temporary waiver would allow attendees to park freely in these areas to attend the event and has been approved by the City Council for the past several police canine demonstrations.
COORDINATION
The Police Department coordinated the preparation of this resolution with the City Attorney’s Office.
FISCAL IMPACT
