body
Statement of Issue:
The Huntington Beach Police Department has recognized a need to amend the Municipal Code to provide a more sustainable solution for individuals requiring a medical exemption for recreational vehicle use.
Financial Impact:
The proposed changes would not have a financial impact.
Recommended Action:
recommendation
Adopt 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.
end
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. Ordinance No. 4303 proposes a minor change that allows the Chief of Police or designee, on a case-by-case basis, to allow a long-term solution by issuing a permanent permit for people who have a disability. The Chief of Police would also have the ability to revoke such permits as he or she deems necessary.
Environmental Status:
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5), administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment do not constitute a project.
Strategic Plan Goal:
Financial Sustainability, Public Safety or Other
Attachment(s):
1. Ordinance 4304, “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”
