NOTICE OF PROPOSED CHANGES TO METERED PARKING HOURS OF OPERATION
On April 21, 2020, the San Clemente City Council will discuss a Coastal Development Permit application the City submitted to pursue the following changes to parking metered areas:
- Eliminate metered parking on Camino Capistrano and Avenida Calafia. On-street parking would become free on these City street sections. The City proposes to limit parking to four hours.
- Change metered hours of operation for all other areas to 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. This will make metered hours consistent in the four remaining metered parking areas. These hours are consistent with and similar to other nearby State Parks and coastal cities.
The City currently operates six metered parking areas during the operating hours shown in the table below. The current hourly parking charge of $1.50 would not change. Annual City parking permits will not be affected, and will remain valid for the expanded metered hours of operation. To adopt the proposed changes, the City must first receive approval from the California Coastal Commission, and a permit application has been submitted. If approved by the Coastal Commission, then the City Council would consider a proposed change to the Municipal Code at a subsequent regularly-scheduled meeting.
| Parking Area | Current Metered Hours | Proposed Metered Hours |
| Camino Capistrano | 9 am – 6 pm | None. Free parking. 4-hour time limit. |
| North Beach | 9 am – 6 pm | 9 am – 10 pm |
| Linda Lane | 10 am – 5 pm | 9 am – 10 pm |
| Pier Bowl | 10 am – 5 pm | 9 am – 10 pm |
| Esplanade (T-Street Beach) | 9 am – 7 pm | 9 am – 10 pm |
| Avenida Calafia | 9 am – 6 pm | None. Free parking. 4-hour time limit. |
