Linda Mar beach parking

A surfer who just renewed his $80 parking pass said he can't find parking at 6 a.m. and worries about his 13-year-old daughter near unstable individuals; he fears displacement to Rockaway and Crespi lots.

A surfer since the 80s said she feels failed by the city, read a Coastal Commission email urging an emergency permit, and said RVs aren't getting waste serviced.

Said the encampment disrespects the environment, tourists, and the RV dwellers themselves, and criticized the months-long delay since November in getting the closure done.

A broker and developer said Pacifica is a community of big hearts but the lot degradation harms both the people living there and the beaches.

A 25-year resident cited hepatitis and unsanitary beach conditions, and volunteered her retired government experience to help coordinate with the Coastal Commission.

Coastside Faith in Action leader asked the ad hoc committee to continue and expand safe parking past September, and to fully research complaints while protecting RV residents' needs.

A former PB&R commissioner expressed extreme frustration, citing RVs taking multiple spots for months, a possible taxi business on public property, and squatters in handicapped spaces.

Urged shoring up safe parking and updating the oversized vehicle ordinance to no overnight parking, citing out-of-state RVs on Esplanade leaking fluids and waste.

Said the lot draws people because you can 'live beachfront' with a parking pass, questioned the 40 percent housing success rate, and said it's time to close the beach at night.

A surfer since 1989 asked why churches aren't opening their lots at night, said the beach has become an encampment, and reported finding a syringe on the sand.

An El Granada surfer and retired teacher said the goal is beach access, not pushing out the homeless — overnight lot closure is the first step and safe parking should be elsewhere.

A Coastal Cat Rescue volunteer told the story of a woman who lived in her car three years awaiting senior housing, urging solutions that restore parking while including vehicle dwellers' voices.
