Financial Impact: The proposed changes would not have a financial impact. The revision allows for a permanent solution to a recurring problem. Recommended Action: Approve the introduction of Ordinance No. 4303, "An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach Amending Chapter 10.44 of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code Relating to Parking - Time Limits" to address special permits regarding parking time limits for recreational vehicles. Alternative Action(s): Do not approve, and direct staff accordingly. Analysis: The current law requires individuals to renew a medical exemption every three months for a recreational vehicle parking permit. Some individuals have permanent and stationary medical disabilities requiring them to have a recreational vehicle parked on a city street.
