Council hears $1 million estimate for Addie Street prefab restroom; staff must get state park sign‑off and update lease
Summary
City engineer told council the proposed Addie Street restroom expansion requires plan review by state parks and state architects; early quotes for a prefab restroom were about $1 million and the project will remove and reconfigure some parking. Staff will circulate revised site plans to state parks and return with lease and design next steps.
PISMO BEACH — The city’s planned restroom at the end of Addie Street will require additional design work and coordination with state parks, city engineers told the council on Feb. 6, after staff selected a larger prefab building that expanded the footprint and affected parking circulation.
Eric Eldridge, introduced by staff as the city’s engineering representative, told council that the parking lot where the restroom is planned is owned by the state parks, and that staff selected a restroom layout with individual doors, lifeguard space, shower and storage. The larger footprint means a new driveway and circulation plan will be needed and the city must submit plans to the state fire marshal and the state architect for review.
“We are going to remove those bollards,” Eldridge said, referring to the barricade at the street end. “Now that street then has to have a circulation because now it’ll come to the end at the sand.”
Eldridge said the city had quotes for the prefab restroom and that the current estimate is roughly $1 million. He also said a long‑term lease with state parks has expired and will need updating before construction can proceed.
Council members asked whether the state would continue to maintain the parking lot under a revised lease; Eldridge said he had not yet reviewed the lease terms and would report back. Staff said the project remains in the schematic and permitting stage and promised to circulate the revised site plan and the building layout to state parks for their accessibility, fire marshal and architect reviews.
What happens next: Staff will finalize the revised site plan showing the rotated building and revised circulation, submit the package to state reviewers, and report back to council with lease options and schedule updates. If the project moves forward, staff said the city will need to reconcile parking impacts and the lease terms before procurement and installation.
