This solution addresses both the long-term and short-term parking needs of the local businesses. WHEREAS, in order to implement changes to the parking time restrictions on the east side of California Drive between Carmelita Avenue and 300 feet from Carmelita Avenue with 10 two-hour parking spaces and eight dedicated for daytime parking, Section 13.36.040 of the BMC needs to be revised.
