Coastal Commission Turns Down Parking Permits
June 11, 2009. 12:51PM---Longtime Venice-business owner Pat Hamilton tells us that the California Coastal Commission just turned down the City of Los Angeles' application that would have allowed permit parking districts in Venice. The vote was 9 - 1 with one abstention.
According to Hamilton, who watched all of this mornings proceedings via the webcast posted on the Commission's site, the Commission originally discussed delaying a decision--the sentiment being that they were being asked to adjudicate a social issue rather than a beach access issue. But evidently time limits on the application were at hand, preventing a continuance.
