Ordinance authorizing the Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) to set parking rates at the Kezar Stadium Parking Lot, and Golden Gate Park Underground Parking Facility in accordance with Park Code provisions that authorize SFMTA rate-setting on park property and subject to Board of Supervisors approval, and making conforming edits to the Park Code; increasing parking rates for berth-holders at the Marina Small Craft Harbor; clarifying that the fines for certain violations of the Transportation Code apply to similar violations occurring on park property; clarifying the authority of Park Patrol to enforce the Park Code and issue parking citations; and affirming the Planning Department’s determination under the California Environmental Quality Act.

The Mayor introduced an ordinance (File No. 210654) to authorize the SFMTA to set parking rates at the Kezar Stadium Parking Lot, Golden Gate Park Underground Parking Facility, and Marina Small Craft Harbor.

The Planning Department determined that the proposed ordinance complies with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

The Budget and Finance Committee amended and duplicated the ordinance, now under File No. 211022, to further refine the provisions regarding parking rates.

The committee reviewed and amended the ordinance to clarify the authority of the Park Patrol and the application of fines for violations on park property.

The Board of Supervisors passed the ordinance on first reading, allowing for the SFMTA to set parking rates at designated park facilities.

The ordinance was finally passed by the Board of Supervisors and sent to the Mayor for approval.

The Mayor approved the ordinance, officially allowing the SFMTA to implement the new parking rates.
