RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council approve the suggested revisions to the Subchapters 9.10.005, et seq. through 9.10.600, et seq. of Culver City Municipal Code (CCMC) Chapter 9.10 Parks, Public Buildings and Property.
BACKGROUND
On August 7, 2018, the Parks, Recreation and Community Services (PRCS) Commission formed the Parks and Facilities Sections of the Culver City Municipal Code Review (CCMC Review) Ad Hoc Subcommittee to review and provide potential recommended updates to the Culver City Municipal Code related to parks and facilities under the purview of the PRCS Department. The members of the CCMC Review Ad Hoc Subcommittee, Chair Mohammed and Commissioner Rickards have been working with staff to update the Parks and Facilities sections of the Culver City Municipal Code. As part of the update process, the Ad Hoc Subcommittee and staff reviewed Parks regulations from Anaheim, Beverly Hills, Cerritos, El Segundo, Huntington Beach, Inglewood, Manhattan Beach, Newport Beach, Santa Monica, and Torrance.
In consultation with the Ad Hoc Subcommittee, staff and the City Attorney’s Office prepared draft revisions to Chapter 9.10 Parks, Public Buildings and Property. The PRCS Commission reviewed the proposed revisions on September 5, 2023 and voted 4-0 to recommend the City Council approve the proposed revisions.
DISCUSSION
The Ordinance adopts a number of revisions to certain Subchapters of Chapter 9.10, including the following:
• Revising the definitions of Department, Director, and Park;
• Adding sections giving the Director and Department general administrative authority over the parks;
• Clarifying the procedures and authority for issuing permits and use agreements;
• Updating the list of prohibited activities to address current issues in parks and public buildings.
A redlined version of the proposed amendments to Subchapters 9.10.005, et seq. through 9.10.600, et seq. of Chapter 9.10 is attached as Attachment 2.
