Title
CONDUCT PUBLIC HEARING AND ADOPT AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SAN DIEGO UNIFIED PORT DISTRICT CODE ARTICLE 8, SECTION 8.14 PARKING METERS - TIME OF OPERATION, REVISING THE LISTED PARKING METER HOLIDAYS TO ADD PRESIDENT'S DAY AND CESAR CHAVEZ DAY AND REMOVE COLUMBUS DAY TO ALIGN WITH THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO'S PARKING METER HOLIDAYS
Body
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The San Diego Unified Port District (District) currently manages approximately 1,200 meter and pay station parking spaces along tidelands within the City of San Diego. The District currently observes nine parking meter holidays and the City of San Diego observes ten parking meter holidays. On these holidays, the public can park at parking meters and pay stations for free all day. In some locations, such as along the North Embarcadero and Shelter Island Drive, the District's parking meters are near the City of San Diego's parking meters. Due to the proximity of the District's and the City of San Diego's parking meters and the difference in the regulations related to holidays between the two jurisdictions, public confusion and frustration has occurred when the City of San Diego recognizes a holiday with free parking and the District does not (and vice versa).
To minimize public confusion and improve the customer experience along the waterfront, staff recommends that the Board of Port Commissioners (Board) adopt an Ordinance amending San Diego Unified Port District (SDUPD) Code Article 8, Section 8.14 Parking Meters - Time of Operation, by adding President's Day and Cesar Chavez Day, and removing Columbus Day to align with the City of San Diego's parking meter holidays.
