RV Parking Restrictions - Santa Cruz, CA

The problem I see is that they are blocking RV parking in most lots (by limiting length), but not providing an alternative parking area. They are, in effect saying that RV's are not welcome along the ocean front. I'm curious about the length issue. If I back in so that my overhang extends over a lawn, grass strip, etc. I can fit in most spaces. Under the new regulations I do not fit within the space, but I am not taking more than one spot I wonder if that is still OK.

In addition to illegal discharges, staff identified other issues related to RV parking including inhabitant criminal activities, unregulated parking in critical areas during the daytime and under-enforced regulation overnight..................complaints from neighbors about refuse accumulating around RVs, bicycles being stolen, private water connections being used, gasoline thefts, and waste water leaking onto the pavement in close proximity to parked RVs.

.....at least 400 notices were placed on RVs and makeshift RVs from July 2013 to July 2014 for various municipal code infractions

What do you expect a city to do?

So long, Santa Cruz! You lose.

Down here in the States it would be called corruption for the police to play favorites and allow people to break the law based on their status as a tourist.

Looks reasonable to me.
