HMB City Council Votes 4-1 to Maintain Half Moon Bay’s Existing “No Dogs on Poplar (City) Beach” Policy

VIDEO. From the City of Half Moon Bay City Council meeting on Tuesday, May 3rd, 2022 at 7:00pm by Zoom.

HMB Public Works Director, John Doughty, presents some ideas: No Dogs North? Off Leash South? All Leash?

From the Agenda and Staff Report 5/3/2022

Emerging Issue(s) Off-Leash Dog Area–In 2020, the City Council adopted an ordinance revising various chapters of the Half Moon Bay Municipal Code related to parks, beaches and permissible activities in those areas. As part of that action, the City Council revised Section 8.04.040 Prohibited conduct, subsection F. to allow the City Council to designate off-leash areas in parks and on beaches.

A number of residents have asked the City to consider designating a portion of Poplar Beach as an “off-leash” area.

Designating a portion of Poplar Beach as an off-leash area would legalize what is current practice by many beach users while allowing visitors without dogs to enjoy the remainder of Poplar Beach.

While staff has thoughts on how this could be achieved, tonight we are only seeking direction as to whether we return to City Council and the community with a more detailed discussion.
