CHAPTER 9.84

RECREATIONAL VEHICLE

PARKING REGULATIONS

The regulations enacted by this chapter are intended to ensure there is adequate parking for residents of the city, maintain the esthetics of our residential communities, and to regulate the parking of vehicles actively used as sleeping accommodations.

Notwithstanding section 9.84 of this Code, a recreational vehicle, trailer, or camper may be parked in the city if a 72-hour parking pass is issued pursuant to this section. The purpose of a parking pass is to allow users of recreational vehicles, utility trailers, and campers to park adjacent to their residences or businesses to allow out-of-town visitors to park in front of the residence which they are visiting for a limited time period.

The parking permit is free of charge $0.00.

Fines and penalties start at $150 up to $500 including being subject to towing per California vehicle code 22651(k).

Requestors are allowed two permits during a 30 day period.
