REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBMITTED TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY: Oliver Chi, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Travis K. Hopkins, Assistant City Manager
Subject:
Adopt Ordinance No. 4223 amending Chapter 10.44 of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code
regarding Recreational Vehicles
Approved for introduction November 16, 2020 - Vote: 7-0
Statement of Issue:
Ordinance No. 4223 approved for introduction on November 16, 2020, requires adoption.
Recently, it was requested that staff assess the feasibility of allowing Huntington Beach residents to
obtain a permit to lawfully park recreational vehicles (RVs) under 20 feet in length in front of their
homes. Given that proposal, a draft ordinance was developed that if approved, would provide
homeowners the ability to obtain a permit from the Police Department to park RVs under 20 feet in
length in front of their home.
Financial Impact:
Not applicable.
Recommended Action:
Adopt Ordinance No. 4223, "An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach
Amending Chapter 10.44 of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code Regarding Recreational Vehicles."
Alternative Action(s):
Do not approve the proposed ordinance and direct staff accordingly.
Analysis:
Currently, the City of Huntington Beach requires a permit to park an RV of any size, a vehicle over 22
feet, or a trailer (as defined in section 10.44.060a HBMC) on a public street. The City has
established a permit system which allows residents to obtain permits for the purpose of loading and
unloading oversized vehicles. Permits are granted for no more than 12 days in a calendar month,
and no more than 144 days in a calendar year. Similar temporary exemptions exist under the
exception clause when existing medical conditions limit the off-street parking of an RV or when City

File #: 20-2042 MEETING DATE: 12/7/2020
permitted construction work requires the use of an RV.
The proposed ordinance would amend the Huntington Beach Municipal Code by removing the time
and number of occurrence restrictions for parking recreational vehicles under 20 feet in length in front
of an individual's home. Per the proposed regulation, residents would be required to obtain a parking
permit from the Police Department, which would allow the smaller RVs to be parked in front of or
adjacent to their residence. The Police Department will have the authority to make and enforce rules
and regulations for or regarding administration and enforcement of the permit.
Environmental Status:
The amendment to the Oversized Vehicle Parking Regulations is subject to the "common sense"
environmental review exemption of CEQA Guideline Section 15-61(b)(3), which provides that it can
be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the parking in question may have a significant
effect on the environment.
Strategic Plan Goal:
Enhance and maintain high quality City services
Enhance and modernize public safety service delivery
