Commission to hold downtown parking workshop

The Laguna Beach Planning Commission will hold the third of three workshops on the Downtown Parking Management Plan at 6:30 p.m. March 20 in Council Chambers, 505 Forest Ave. The workshop will build on previous studies to evaluate the existing parking plan, according to the city’s website.

The public will be able to comment on parking opportunities, constraints and current policies. A consultant will update commissioners on the plan. Residents, employees and business owners are encouraged to attend.

Planning Commission Chairman Norm Grossman apologized that two colleagues were not consulted prior to scheduling the March 20 meeting, according to a recap of the commission’s regular meeting Feb. 13, also available on the city’s website. Any future meetings will be scheduled by the entire commission.

A joint meeting with Planning Commission and City Council will be held March 16. Commissioners were asked to provide ideas for agenda items and present them at the next Planning Commission meeting Feb. 27.
