Pismo Beach added Airstream trailers in 2018 as part of the Pier Plaza Upgrade project, this one cost the city $151,458
in 2019 the city put out a request for proposals to lease a handful of Airstream trailers lining the pier for visitor-serving vendors, that's when Sunsets at Pismo opened
According to the staff report, over the past five years, Pismo Beach has collected more than $217,000 from the business from licensing fees, along with 2% of gross sales revenue paid to the city as part of the lease agreement.
However, an unnoticed clerical error by the city dating back more than 20 years has led to the unexpected end of Sunsets’ business.
But here's the raw deal: the piece of beach that the Airstream sits above on the pier was zoned as open space in 2003, meaning a business is not allowed to operate there.
