The Galveston Department of Planning and Community Development has scheduled a special meeting of the Galveston Planning Commission for 4 p.m. on Tuesday, February 24, to discuss and consider approval of the Beach Access Plan. The commission will consider amendments related to beach access, beach user fees and free parking. In a memorandum to Planning Commission Chair John Unbehagen, Planning Director Wendy O'Donohoe notes that the proposed $8 fee the Park Board of Trustees is proposing to charge for parking in the Seawall Urban Park, as well as at Apffel Park, Stewart Beach and Dellanera Park, is included in the final draft of the plan. "The 90-day comment period expired with no formal comment from the GLO," O'Donohoe said of the Seawall parking fee. However, O'Donohoe added that the access plan has been fully discussed in a number of venues. "The final plan was developed collaboratively with recommendations and direction from the Texas General Land Office, direction from the Planning Commission, City Council, public comment and associated research. The memorandum and staff report is posted on the city's website at www.cityofgalveston.org.
