Re: San Diego RV parking ban

Sounds like this ordinance would not allow an owner to pack and get the rig ready to hit the road? I wouldn't have a problem with 3-4 day limit in front of the house, but no parking at all seems to be a little extreme. You can, but you'll need a permit and I believe that buys you 72 hours before it has to be back in off street parking. I'm not sure if the permit exempts you from the 50 foot ban - I'll look into it. Hopefully they had to sense to exempt them during the permit period or RV owners living in corner residences (or close to it) would be out of luck.480Views0likes0CommentsRe: San Diego RV parking ban

Makes sure he knows about the 50 foot parking limit. Hope we don't lose him as a visitor over this.480Views0likes0CommentsRe: San Diego RV parking ban
Not expressing an opinion - just wanted to give everyone a heads up that the town is going to be a lot less RV friendly soon, irrespective of whether you're homeless and living in one, or coming to pay us a visit. I'd hate to have someone come from out of town and leave with a bad taste after being ticketed.285Views0likes0CommentsSan Diego RV parking ban
Not sure if this is being talked about outside of San Diego, but the City Council just gave initial approval to a new ordinance that claims to be directed at the problem of the homeless living in RVs, but will effectively ban the overnight street parking of all "oversized vehicles" (at least 27 feet long and 7 feet high), RVs (including motorhomes of any kind, campers, travel trailers, dune buggys, ATVs, jet skis and off road vehicles), and any size trailer irrespective of it's intended use. It will also impose a ban on parking within 50 feet of an intersection on all three groups. Overnight parking will be allowed if a 24 hour permit is obtained beforehand with limits of three issued consecutively, so long stays without campground access will no longer be possible. A $100 fine will be levied for either offense. It's such a shame because the beaches, mountains and deserts here are prime examples of why people own or visit with their RVs. Just to let you know that when this passes it's second vote on July 22nd (and it will almost certainly be railroaded through despite considerable opposition) and pending a final decision by the Coastal Commission, if you still want to visit you should make sure you're familiar with the permitting process and new parking restrictions or have your trip ruined with $100 tickets. Parking enforcement officers will each be given a quota of 25 a day for this ordinance alone, so they will be writing tickets and lots of them. To bring in the estimated revenue of $2.8 million, almost 28,000 citations will need to be issued annually within San Diego city limits. Be warned. http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2013/Jul/08/sd-bans-overnight-rv-street-parking/5.3KViews0likes25Comments
