- Implementation of Short-Term Rental Program - The City of Pacifica implemented the Short Term Rental (STR) Program this week. The STR program regulates the rental of existing residential units to occupants on a short-term basis, generally less than 30 days. The program requires STR hosts (or operators) located within the City of Pacifica to obtain a STR permit, a City of Pacifica Business License, and sign a STR Safety Declaration before offering accommodations. Additionally, once STR accommodations are provided, the host/operator is required to collect and remit Transient Occupancy Taxes as required by the City. See the Press Release for more information.
- San Jose Avenue Pedestrian Bridge to Close January 7 - At 5:00 AM, Monday, January 7, 2019 Caltrans will close the San Jose Avenue pedestrian overcrossing that spans Highway 1 and connects the Eureka Square Shopping Center on the freeway’s eastside to Pacifica’s civic center on the westside. The closure will allow workers to connect the landing of a newly-built replacement pedestrian overcrossing to the landing of the old overcrossing. The new overcrossing is scheduled to open in mid-to-late February 2019. Shuttle Service will ferry pedestrians until new pedestrian bridge opens. See the CalTrans News Release for more information.
- Sewer Collection System Projects on Oddstad and Terra Nova - Starting January 7, 2019, the City of Pacifica’s contractor, Pacific Trenchless, will begin construction on the Collection System Project at Oddstad and Terra Nova Blvd. This project will remove the existing clay pipe and replace it with high-density polyethylene, referred to as HDPE, and will install 2,337 linear feet of sewer mainlines in the Park Pacifica neighborhood, including increasing the existing pipe sizes. The project is tentatively set to be completed in April 2019. See the full Press Release for more information about this City of Pacifica project.

Pacifica Public Works Offers Pet Waste Bag Dispensers to Clean Up After Your Pet for a Healthy Environment
|
Rain is forecast in Pacifica and we need your help. Pet waste left on sidewalks, streets, yards and other open areas can be washed away by rains and irrigation systems, making its way into storm drains leading into local creeks and the ocean. Pollution from the pet waste can harm the water quality and habitat. Carry disposable bags when you walk your pet and pick up and dispose of pet waste in a garbage can. Offer extra bags to other pet owners who are without. Clean up after your dog every single time.
FREE Dog Bag Dispenser and Waste Bags are available to Pacifica residents from the City of Pacifica while supplies last. Pick yours up at the Pacifica Department of Public Works office at 151 Milagra Drive.
