DNREC Bay Beach Nourishment public parking lots at Kitts Hummock and Pickering beaches
Summary
The state wants to build small 8-space public parking lots on residential streets near Kitts Hummock and Pickering beaches, and needs variances from setback, landscaping, ADA-parking, and lot-size rules to do it. Neighbors could see more beach traffic and visitors parking near their homes, while beach-goers gain better public access to the Delaware Bay.
