Summary
The city is planning a second off-leash dog beach east of the Junipero Beach parking lot, modeled on Rosie's Dog Beach, to give downtown residents closer access. Commissioners pressed on safety near the playground, parking, and enforcement of dog rules. Environmental review and Coastal Commission permitting come next, with opening roughly a year or more away.
