The City Council has identified the need to implement a paid parking system at the Ocean Mall.   On March 19, 2014, the City and GSF Florida Retail, LLC (GSF) entered into a Third Amendment of the Ocean Mall Lease which amended Section 4(d) of the Ocean Mall Lease by granting to the City all rights to parking revenue.   Under the Fourth Amendment, approved on March 2, 2016, GSF agreed to install, at its cost, a parking system for the city. All revenue will go to the City. The Agreement gave the City 60 days to recommend a parking system.

DESMAN, Inc. was engaged to review parking control options at the Ocean Mall.  The report from Desman provides two options for consideration. After reviewing the options with GSF's representatives, the City Manager has selected Option A for implementation. Option A provides for maintaining both a north and south parking lot with a fully automated gated and kiosk system. On-street parking will also be handled through the use kiosks.
