RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt an Ordinance amending Subchapters 9.10.005, et seq. through 9.10.600, et seq. of Culver City Municipal Code (CCMC) Chapter 9.10 (Parks, Public Buildings and Property).
BACKGROUND
On August 7, 2018, the Parks, Recreation and Community Services (PRCS) Commission formed the Parks and Facilities Sections of the Culver City Municipal Code Review (CCMC Review) Ad Hoc Subcommittee to review and provide potential recommended updates to the Culver City Municipal Code (CCMC) related to parks and facilities under the purview of the PRCS Department. The members of the CCMC Review Ad Hoc Subcommittee, Chair Mohammed and Commissioner Rickards worked with staff to update the Parks and Facilities sections of the CCMC. As part of the update process, the Ad Hoc Subcommittee and staff reviewed Parks regulations from Anaheim, Beverly Hills, Cerritos, El Segundo, Huntington Beach, Inglewood, Manhattan Beach, Newport Beach, Santa Monica, and Torrance.
In consultation with the Ad Hoc Subcommittee, PRCS staff and the City Attorney’s Office prepared draft revisions to Chapter 9.10 Parks, Public Buildings and Property. The PRCS Commission reviewed the proposed revisions on September 5, 2023, and voted 4-0 to recommend the City Council approve the proposed revisions.
At the January 22, 2024, City Council meeting, City Council reviewed the proposed revisions and specifically discussed the following proposed language in subsection 9.10.200.F. The City Council directed staff to take subsection 9.10.200.F to the Equity and Human Relations Advisory Committee (EHRAC) in order to provide comments on subsection 9.10.200.F and to hear thoughts on the next approach to notify the public of such changes.
At its special meeting on February 27, 2024, EHRAC recommended changes to subsection 9.10.200.F and the addition of a new Section 9.10.205 - Restroom, Shower, Changing Room, and Locker Room Facilities
At the City Council Meeting on March 11, 2024, City Council reviewed the changes proposed by EHRAC and unanimously voted to introduce the ordinance to amend the CCMC Subchapters 9.10.005, et seq. through 9.10.600, et seq.
DISCUSSION
The proposed Ordinance is presented for adoption.
Adoption of the proposed Ordinance will permit a number of revisions to certain Subchapters of Chapter 9.10, including the following:
• Revising the definitions of Department, Director, and Park;
• Adding sections giving the Director and Department general administrative authority over the parks;
• Clarifying the procedures and authority for issuing permits and use agreements;
• Updating the list of prohibited activities to address current issues in parks and public buildings.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
There is no fiscal impact associated with the adoption of the proposed Ordinance.
