THEY'RE BAAAAACK...

Yeah, sure, temporary parklets are long gone, but permanent parklets are rearing their ugly heads.

The city's Zoning Administrator is now holding hearings to grant Local Coastal Development Permits (LCDP), a key part of the parklet process.

Belmont Brewing Company and Legends have their hearings on Monday, May 8. 

It is vital that residents make their opposition clear. So, ACT NOW:

1. Write the Zoning Administrator.

   1. The LCDP is focused on beach accessibility, beach visibility and beach impacts. Your emailed comments should emphasize how giving up dozens of public parking spaces for bars and restaurants will harm residents' and visitors' ability to reach and enjoy the beach areas. (Think: more bar patrons, more staff, more cars!) Send your email by 10 am hearing day.

2. Join the Zoning Administrator hearing via Zoom. 

   1. Public comments can be up to 3 minutes in length; your input should focus on issues specific to the particular applicants. (Think: sidewalk obstructions, drunken patron hazards, delivery trucks blocking parking and LB Transit.) BBC and Legends will be heard on Monday, May 8 at 2 pm.
