(Ord. 1312 § 10, 5/23/16)
A. For
purposes of this section, a recreational vehicle, or RV, means any
self-propelled motor home, truck camper, or similar vehicle designed
for human habitation. "Human habitation" is the use of a vehicle for
dwelling. Evidence of human habitation includes activities such as
sleeping, setting up housekeeping or cooking, and any other activity
where it reasonably appears, in light of all the circumstances, that
one or more persons are using the vehicle as a living accommodation.
B. For
purposes of this section, a recreational trailer is any non-motorized
vehicle that does not exceed 28 feet in overall length, and is either
fully enclosed and designed for temporary human habitation, or is
used to transport equines (horses), boats, or motorized vehicles designed
for recreational use. A recreational trailer is attached to a recreational
vehicle when it is securely connected to the RV by two separate means
of attachment, such as a hitch or safety chains, designed so that
the failure of one means of attachment would not cause the recreational
trailer to separate from the RV.
C. It
is unlawful for any person to park a recreational vehicle or recreational
trailer on the street between the hours of 12:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m.
without a permit. Permits must be displayed in the windshield of a
recreational vehicle or the rear of a recreational trailer.
D. A resident
may obtain a permit to park a recreational vehicle, a recreational
vehicle with a recreational trailer attached, or an unattached recreational
trailer, for a period of one to three days. Residents may obtain these
permits for a maximum of six days per month, and a maximum of 50 days
per year. Permit costs will be established by City Council resolution.
E. When
parked overnight pursuant to a permit, a recreational vehicle or recreational
trailer must be parked within 300 feet of the permittee's address.
A recreational vehicle or recreational trailer must comply with street
sweeping and other applicable parking regulations at all times. No
utilities, such as electrical cords, which are used by the recreational
vehicle or recreational trailer may cross the public right-of-way
while the recreational vehicle or recreational trailer is parked.
F. A permittee
may park a recreational vehicle or recreational trailer for residential
purposes such as sleeping, provided that the permittee complies with
all permit restrictions, including limitations on the number of days
a recreational vehicle or recreational trailer may be parked overnight.
(Ord. 1312 § 11, 5/23/16; Ord. 1335 § 1, 3/27/17)
A. For
purposes of this section:
1. "Trailer" means a non-motorized vehicle. However, the definition of "trailer" does not include recreational vehicles or recreational trailers as defined in Section
10.12.070 of this Code.
2. A
"moving trailer" means a fully enclosed trailer that is validly registered
with the California Department of Motor Vehicles and is either: (a)
owned by a certified moving company that is providing moving services
to the occupants of real property adjacent the location of the trailer;
or (b) is owned or rented by an occupant of real property immediately
adjacent the location of the trailer and is being or will be used
for moving purposes by that occupant.
B. It
is unlawful for any person to park any trailer at any time on any
street unless that trailer is attached to a motorized vehicle.
C. It
is unlawful for any person to park any trailer on any street between
the hours of 12:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m., unless the trailer is a moving
trailer, and:
1. The
trailer is actually and continuously being loaded or unloaded;
2. The
trailer is parked because its presence is related to, and assisting
with, the performance of a service to, or on, property located in
the block where the trailer is parked. However, the moving trailer
may only remain parked for the period of time reasonably necessary
to complete the service; or
3. The
City Manager, or designee, issued a permit in accordance with this
section for overnight onstreet parking and the parked trailer is fully
complying with that permit. A moving trailer must comply with any
parking regulations that affect public safety, including restrictions
on parking on a red curb or adjacent to a fire hydrant. However, a
moving trailer with a proper permit need not comply with parking regulations
related to street sweeping, or other regulations which are unrelated
to public safety.
D. The
City Manager may issue a permit to any resident or owner of land within
the City for overnight onstreet parking of a moving trailer within
300 feet of that person's residence or land, for a period not exceeding
72 consecutive hours at any one time. The permit must be prominently
displayed on the moving trailer at all times when the moving trailer
is being parked on a street.
1. The
applicant for an overnight on-street parking permit must provide all
information that the City Manager determines is necessary to effect
the provisions of this section, including, without limitation, the
purpose for which the moving trailer is designed, the proposed location
of the trailer, the requested time period for the permit, the status
of the applicant as a resident or owner of land within the City, and
the license plate number of the trailer, and any other information
sufficient to identify the trailer for which the permit will be issued.
2. No
person may receive a permit for overnight parking of a moving trailer
on more than four occasions within any 24 month period.
E. The
City Manager may prohibit or restrict the issuance of any permit for
the on-street parking of moving trailers on any particular street
or any portion thereof, or may designate a specific location for the
permitted overnight parking of a trailer more than 300 feet from an
applicant's residence or land. In order to make such a prohibition,
restriction, or designation, the City Manager must determine that
it is required for the public health, safety or welfare.
(Ord. 1312 § 12, 5/23/16; Ord. 1335 § 2, 3/27/17)
A. It
is found and declared that the privately owned and maintained roads

C. Additional
roads may be identified by City Council resolution as being required
to comply with this section.
