By Tim FangThe City of Pacifica has banned overnight vehicle parking at Linda Mar Beach, after receiving approval from the California Coastal Commission. According to officials, vehicles that were continuously in the parking lot effectively functioned as long-term residences. City officials began notifying vehicle owners about the closure and included referrals to social service resources. Under the emergency permit, overnight parking in the lots will be closed for 90 days. City officials said they are processing a full coastal development permit to end overnight parking permanently.
