Ordinance - Second Reading - Amending Chapter 54 Waterways and Beaches Enacting a New Definition for Beach Kiosk and Regulations of Beach Kiosks - Daniel J. Smith, AICP, Director, Community Affairs/Growth Management Department
Body
DESCRIPTION:
The Beach & Coastal Resources Advisory Committee was directed by the City Council to review and recommend updates to the City's beach regulations. An initial workshop was held on November 19, 2025, where City staff presented concerns regarding unauthorized vendor structures on the beach that do not comply with existing code. In response, staff proposed establishing a permit process for temporary structures, allowing vendor kiosks to be reviewed by the Building and Zoning Departments.
The Committee discussed beach vendor operations, including the pre-setting of chairs and umbrellas, and received input from residents, vendors, and legal representatives. Additional discussions addressed the use and regulation of vehicles and trailers associated with vendor activities on the beach.
The City Council reviewed the first reading of Ordinance 26-03 during the April 20, 2026, meeting and voted 6-0 (one member absent) in favor of moving the Ordinance onto a second reading with the change underlined below:

2. The placement restrictions of the Beach kiosk must be consistent with Sec. 41 (d) 1-4 and 6.
