Auto Auctions at Pacific Grove Municipal Golf Course

Auto Auctions at Pacific Grove Municipal Golf Course

The proposed project is a concession agreement for a series of five annual collector car auctions (one per year) to be conducted at the Pacific Grove Municipal Golf Course as well as minor improvements to pathways, and leveling and resodding of the project area. The agreement would allow a total of five events during 2018-2022 with the first event occurring in August 2018. Each event would be a 1-day auction with viewing of the vehicles for approx two days prior to each auction. Event set up and tear down would occur immediately prior to and after the events. Approx. 500 guests would be expected to attend each event, with approx 80 vehicles and/or motorcycles offered for auction. The auctions would occur inside two tents placed along Asilomar Ave near the intersections with Surf Ave and Shell Ave. Complimentary valley parking would be provided for event attendees at the Pacific Grove Municipal Golf Links Clubhouse and the 16th fairway, on-street parking along Asilomar Avenue near the Golf Clubs, as well as the Point Pinos Lightouts parking area. Parking spaces on Asilomar Avenue would be marked off as reserve for the event. Additionally, the Chamber of Commerce would provide shuttle busses during the day of the event between the auction site and downtown hotels and parking garages. Signage and temporary barriers are proposed to inform attendees that event parking is not permitted in the coastal pull-outs, along Ocean View Blvd., or in residential areas. City Police Dept. staff would provide traffic and parking control on event days. Temproary nighttime lighting would be provided for safety in the event area and positioned so as not to shine directly toward the residences to the east of Asilomar Ave. or toward Crespi Pond on the golf course property to the west.
