AB~+WL- TITLE CITIZENS’ REQUEST TO INSTALL DEPT.
CITY 1 ~~~~ic-15 -?/ TIME LOCK GATES AT THE
BEECH STREET AND GRAND CITY I DEPT.J~&- AVENUE BEACH ACCESSWAY
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
If the City Council concurs with the Parks and Recreation Commissior
recommendation to allow for the installation of time lock gates at the Beech Street a1
Grand Avenue accessways, your action would be to adopt Resolution No. 9/-9d
authorizing City staff to prepare the appropriate documents necessary to obtain a coast:
development permit for the installation of time lock gates from the Coastal Commissioi
ITEM EXPLANATION:
During the August Parks and Recreation Commission meeting, a citizens’ request t
install a time lock gate at the Beech Street coastal accessway was addressed (Exhibit 2,
After Commission discussion, their action was to defer any recommendation on this issu
until additional citizen input from area property owners could be considered, an1
information relative to enforcement issues could be provided from the Polic
Department.
This subject was once again presented to the Parks and Recreation Commission durin)
their September meeting. At that time, an additional request from property owner;
adjacent to the Grand Avenue coastal accessway was also presented for Commissioi
consideration. Although the initial motion to deny the request for time lock gates wa
defeated by a vote of 3-2, a secondary motion was made to approve the installation o
time lock gates if the installation were funded by the adjacent property owners. Tha
motion was approved by the Commission by a vote of 3-2. Accordingly, staff wa:
directed to present this issue for City Council consideration and to proceed with a
development permit through the Coastal Commission, if Council concurs.
The principal reason the installation of time lock gates was presented for the
Commission consideration was to alleviate concerns by area residents related primarilq
to unruly behavior which was occurring during late night and early morning hours on the
beach and within the stairways themselves.
Council may recall that several years ago, a request to provide for a time lock gate at
the Christiansen Way beach access was presented for consideration. The request was
made by area residents for many of the same reasons this request for gates at Beech
Street and Grand Avenue are also being made. Council’s action at that time was to
allow for the installation of the gates at the expense of the adjacent property owner.
Because the accessway was owned by the City of Carlsbad, a development permit
approved by the Coastal Commission under the City’s name was necessary prior to
installation. Both the Grand Avenue and Beech Street accessways are owned and
maintained by the City of Carlsbad, and any subsequent approval for installation of gates
at these sites must also follow the same processing conditions.
Although staff‘s initial recommendation to the Parks and Recreation Commission was
to deny this request (Exhibit 2), if Council concurs with the installation of time lock gates
at the Beech Street and Grand Avenue coastal accessways, staff will prepare the
appropriate development permits for Coastal Commission Consideration.

FISCAL IMPACT:
It is estimated the cost to install time lock gates (at the top and bottom of eacl
accessway) would be in excess of $10,000. It is recommended that whatever the cost 01
installation, that it be absorbed by the adjoining property owners.
The annual maintenance and operation cost of the gates (other than electric) would be
minimal excluding any vandalism which may occur.
