ADOPT BY TITLE ONLY RESOLUTION NO. CC-2206-030, A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDONDO BEACH, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING THE SUSPENSION OF PREFERENTIAL PARKING HOURS IN THE VINCENT AND VINCENT 2 PREFERENTIAL PARKING DISTRICTS FOR LIMITED HOURS ON JUNE 8 AND JUNE 9, 2022 FOR REDONDO BEACH UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT COMMENCEMENT AND GRADUATION CEREMONIES
end
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff recommends that the City Council allow parking by the general public, for limited hours, in the Vincent and Vincent 2 preferential parking districts for the two days of the school district’s annual commencement ceremonies. This mitigation will allow for parking of guests and alumni that may attend the separate middle school commencement and high school graduation ceremonies.
BACKGROUND
The City Council has previously approved the suspension of preferential parking districts on the north and south sides of the Redondo Union High School campus for prior High School and Middle School Commencement Ceremonies. The Vincent districts restrict parking from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. daily. The Vincent 2 district restricts parking from 2:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. on Saturday.
The commencement ceremonies for both Parras Middle School and Adams Middle School will be held in the afternoon of Wednesday, June 08, 2022 at the Redondo Union High School campus football stadium. The High School graduation ceremony will be held in the stadium on the afternoon of Thursday, June 09, 2022.
The families of the graduates are informed to park on the north side of the high school in the parking lots adjacent to Diamond St. However, due to the size of past crowds, staff members are concerned that additional parking areas may be utilized as the extended families, friends, school alumni and individuals with disabilities will park on the south side of the school in the Vincent and Vincent 2 preferential parking districts.
The City Council may revise the hours of a preferential parking district pursuant to section 3-7.1701 of the Redondo Beach Municipal Code. Staff requests that City Council suspend the parking restrictions in the Vincent and Vincent 2 preferential parking districts on June 8th and June 9th, 2022, as issuance of citations during the ceremonies would not be in the best interest of the community.
COORDINATION
The Police Department coordinated this resolution with the City Attorney’s Office.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to the City.
