Subject:

Adoption of a Resolution establishing and amending the parking citation schedule to include monetary penalties for RV parking violations.  (Action Item)

Date:10/10/2017

OBJECTIVE

For the City Council to hold a Public Hearing, and to consider the adoption of the attached Resolution establishing monetary penalties for violations of recreational vehicle parking regulations.

BACKGROUND

On August 22, 2017, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2885 adding Section 10.56.115 to Chapter 10.56 of Title 10 of the Garden Grove Municipal Code establishing parking restrictions applicable to recreational vehicles. Currently, the City has no monetary penalties for violations of recreational vehicles parking without valid City-issued permits.

DISCUSSION

Garden Grove Municipal Code Section 10.100.020(A) requires the City Council to adopt parking violation fines by resolution. The proposed resolution will establish a monetary penalty in the amount of $108 for the first violation, $208 for the second violation within one year, and $508 for the third and each subsequent violation within one year of the first violation of the recreational vehicle parking restrictions of Section 10.56.115 of the Garden Grove Municipal Code adopted by Ordinance No. 2885.  The recommended parking fines are set at a level consistent with other recreational and commercial vehicle parking fines already established.  

 

A Public Hearing Notice was published on September 22, 2017. The proposed fines and documentation were made available for a ten day public review period at the City Clerk’s Office.  If approved, the new fines will become effective immediately.

FINANCIAL IMPACT

There is no financial impact to the City.

RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended that the City Council:

 

  • Conduct a Public Hearing; and

 

  • Adopt the attached Resolution establishing monetary penalties for violations of recreational vehicle parking regulations.
