AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CARLSBAD,
CALIFORNIA, ADDING SECTION 10.40.302 OF THE CARLSBAD MUNICIPAL
CODE TO ESTABLISH NO PARKING ZONES ALONG BOTH SIDES OF SURFSIDE
LANE, NORTH OF ISLAND WAY AND BOTH SIDES OF ISLAND WAY, EAST OF
CARLSBAD BOULEVARD BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 11 P.M. AND 5 A.M.
WHEREAS, the City of Carlsbad has received numerous reports of individuals parking
recreational and passenger vehicles overnight along Surfside Lane and Island Way for extended
periods; and
WHEREAS the Carlsbad Police Department received a letter from Grand Pacific Resorts, I
concerning the area of Surfside Lane in front of the business being utilized for long term parking; and
WHEREAS, Police Department staff has verified complaints that the street in front of the resort
is being used for long term, overnight parking by numerous passenger vehicles, recreational vehicles,
buses, and camper vans; and
WHEREAS, the Carlsbad Police Department distributed flyers to all homes in the residential
neighborhood of Surfside Lane, south of Island Way and all residences on Franciscan Road and solicited
feedback to determine the impact of overnight parking restrictions in the affected areas; and
WHEREAS, residents agreed that the area immediately surrounding Seapointe Resort warrants
some form of restricted parking to better regulate the problems in the area; and
WHEREAS, the use of city streets for long term and overnight parking of vehicles often increases
the calls for police services to address noise complaints, littering, public urination and concerns of
suspicious or unwanted activity in the adjacent areas; and
WHEREAS, the overnight parking restriction would not decrease access to the coast because
beach activities do not commonly occur during the 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. time period, beach activity is
generally limited to daytime and early dusk use, and the beach areas in the vicinity of the proposed
parking restriction lack lighting to allow safe access at night; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Carlsbad has determined that it is in the interest of
public safety that a parking restriction be implemented along both sides of Surfside Lane, north of
Island Way and both sides of Island Way, east of Carlsbad Boulevard between the hours of 11 p.m. and
5 a.m.; and
WHEREAS, the City Planner has determined that the project is categorically exempt from the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per state CEQA Guidelines section 15301 (c) and that no
exception to the exemption as set forth in CEQA Guidelines section 15300.2 applies;
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Carlsbad, California, ordains as follows that:
1.The above recitations are true and correct.
2.That Title 10, Chapter 10.40, of the Carlsbad Municipal Code is amended by the addition
of Section 10.40.302 to read as follows:

Parking of vehicles is prohibited between 11:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. on both sides of Surfside Lane,
north of Island Way and both sides of Island Way, east of Carlsbad Boulevard.
EFFECTIVE DATE: This ordinance shall be effective thirty days after its adoption; and the City
