(Ord. 892 § 2, 2004)
A. 
Purpose. The purpose of this section is to reduce the adverse impacts associated with oversized vehicle parking. Such impacts include, but are not limited to, the following:
1. 
Oversized vehicle parking raises unique public safety concerns, including the obstruction of access to rights-of-way, reduced sight distance, and reduced visibility at intersections.
2. 
Oversized vehicles are typically heavier vehicles or trailers and thus have the potential to cause excessive wear and tear on roadways.
3. 
Oversized vehicles have been the source of environmental hazards in the city by discharging waste into the street. Such waste includes gas, oil, and human waste. These discharges create unsanitary conditions for members of the public and also result in downstream impacts as such waste flows into the city's storm drains. The discharge of waste has also caused damage to city streets by staining portions thereof.
4. 
Some oversized vehicles accumulate and discharge trash and debris in and around areas where vehicles are parked. The accumulation and storage of trash, debris, and other personal items in and around areas where oversized vehicles are parked has caused accessibility hazards by obstructing and/or blocking sidewalks and preventing safe passage thereon.
5. 
Oversized vehicle parking exacerbates the city's parking issues by further reducing the number of available parking spaces on the street. Given their size, oversized vehicles utilize limited space that could accommodate a number of smaller vehicles. Parking scarcity negatively impacts the city's residents and visitors by, among other things, making the city a less attractive destination and adding trip time for drivers who are searching for parking.
B. 
Definitions. The following words and terms as used in this section shall have the following meanings:
"Loading and unloading"
shall mean loading or unloading passengers or materials to or from an Oversized Vehicle including the activities required to prepare the vehicle for travel or storage.

shall mean any of the following:
a. 
Any motorized vehicle as defined in Section 670 of the California Vehicle Code or combination of motorized vehicle(s) and/or nonmotorized vehicle(s), including any attached trailers, vehicles or loads thereon, which exceeds ten thousand pounds in weight, twenty-two feet in length or seven feet in width and seven feet in height. To determine the height, width or length of a vehicle defined in this section, any extension to the vehicle caused by mirrors, air conditioners, or similar attachments allowed by Section 35109, 35110 or 35111 of the Vehicle Code, as the same may be amended from time to time, shall not be included.
b. 
Any camp trailer, camper, fifth wheel travel trailer, house car, mobile home, trailer, trailer coach, as defined in Vehicle Code Sections 242, 243, 324, 362, 396, 630, 635, or successor statutes, or any recreational vehicle, as defined by California Health and Safety Code Section 18010 or successor statute.

3.

Oversized vehicles actively engaging in loading and unloading shall park at the street curb immediately adjacent to the residence or building, or within four hundred feet of the residence if this area is not available for parking due to curb configuration or codified parking restrictions.
4. 
Oversized vehicles that are parked while the operator is actively engaged in performing a service to or on a property in the block in which such oversized vehicle is parked.
5.

The city manager or designee shall review and approve or deny all applications. The city council shall by resolution set the amount of any fee charged for such oversized vehicle parking permits. Oversized vehicle parking permits will only be issued to residents of the city of Stanton. Over the course of a calendar year, a resident may obtain a maximum of twelve oversized vehicle parking permits (inclusive of permits for guests and the resident's vehicle(s)).
2. 
Residents may obtain oversized vehicle parking permits on behalf of out-of-town guests traveling with an oversized vehicle. Residents must apply for an obtain such permits on behalf of their guests. A separate permit is required for each oversized vehicle (e.g., a separate permit would be required for each of the resident's own oversized vehicles as well as any out-of-town guest's oversized vehicle).
3.

This prohibition includes, but is not limited to, electrical cords, extension cords, hoses, or cables.
G. 
Impact on Residential Permit Parking. Notwithstanding any other provision of this code, an oversized vehicle with a permit issued under this section is not required to obtain a residential parking permit under Section 10.08.060.
