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
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.
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”
