FORT LAUDERDALE - Fort Lauderdale commissioners have given tentative approval to expanding parking hours and changing the rates for the popular South Beach parking lot a few blocks south of Las Olas Boulevard at 700 Seabreeze Blvd.

Beachgoers enjoy public restrooms, playground equipment and picnic tables there.

The city plans to eliminate the $10 fee and installing parking meters.

The proposed new hours are 5 a.m. to 2 a.m..

City residents who buy a $5 resident parking card would park there for free. Others would pay $1.75 an hour.

A final vote will come at the commission's Jan. 6 meeting.
