Recommended Action
Recommend that the City Council consider the Planning Commission’s recommendations
to amend Sections 11.24.130 (72-hour parking limit), Section 11.24.200 (removal of
vehicles), Section 11.28.010 (definition of oversized vehicles), and Section 11.28.020
(vehicle parking regulations) of the Municipal Code, to enhance the current prohibition

Background:
On June 24, 2025, the Planning Commission recommended to the City Council to adopt
an Ordinance with the following considerations:
1. Annual resident oversized vehicle parking permit issued at no charge
One permit per household
Allow resident to park one oversized vehicle in the City right-of-way for 72 hours, then
vehicle must be moved 1,500 feet and remain away for 72 hours. The resident may park
the oversized vehicle for unlimited 72-hour blocks of time in the City right-of-way.
2. Nonresidents may obtain five 72-hour parking permits per year to park an oversized
vehicle in the City right-of-way, but may not park within 1,500 feet of a commercial
district. Staff to determine permit fee.
3. Otherwise, parking oversized vehicles in the City right-of-way is prohibited, except
that an oversized vehicle may park in the City right-of-way for 3 consecutive hours
from 6 am to 8pm (day) and one hour from 8 pm to 6 am (night).
4. The City should install signage at Alves and Bandley and other problem areas.

5. The City should evaluate the program after one year.
This Supplemental Report clarifies that the recommendation for the proposed
Ordinance for oversized vehicle parking does not impact in any way regulations
regarding parking generally.
Currently, Municipal Code section 11.24.130 (below) already limits parking of all
vehicles to 72 hours. The proposed Ordinance clarifies that oversized vehicles must be
moved 1500 feet and stay away for 72 hours before returning. It applies only to
oversized vehicles.
11.24.130 Prohibited for More than Seventy-Two Hours.
No person who owns or has in his possession, custody, or control any vehicle or trailer
shall park such vehicle or trailer upon any public street or alley for more than a
consecutive period of seventy-two hours.
(Ord. 843, § 6, 1977)
