DESCRIPTION: On September 10, 2002, a letter dated August 30~ 2002, addressed to the Mayor and City Council Members, was received from a group of residents of the Willow Creek subdivision (page 3-4 of Attachment 1 to the June 17, 2003 City Council Agenda Statement, Attachment 1). The letter described the residents concerns regarding the parking of recreational vehicles and other oversized vehicles in the area of Shady Creek and Alamo Creek Park and requested that the City consider adopting an Ordinance to address these issues. At the October 15, 2002 City Council Meeting, Lieutenant Glenn Moon of Dublin Police Services presented a report to the City Council in response to the issues raised by the residents of Willow Creek (Attachment 1 to the June 17, 2003 City Council Agenda Statement, Attachment 1). The City Council directed Staff to form an advisory committee in order to evaluate the feasibility of adopting an Oversized Vehicle Ordinance (Attachment 2 to the June 17, 2003 City Council Agenda Statement, Attachment 1). Oversized Vehicle Committee At the Council's direction, Staff posted advertisements in the local newspaper seeking interested persons to serve on the advisory committee. The City received a total of eight applications by residents of Dublin. At the January 21, 2003 City Council Meeting, the Mayor and City Council appointed all eight residents who applied to serve on the Oversized Vehicle Committee. Staff met with the newly appointed Committee members on February 5, 2003 to review the purpose and intent of the Committee and to establish regular meeting dates and times. The Oversized Vehicle Committee held five meetings on alternating Wednesday's at 6pm in the City Manager's Conference Room. The Committee evaluated the current on-street vehicle storage Ordinance; identified issues that the existing Ordinance didn't address; identified issues within the community that needed to be addressed; and, proposed a new Ordinance to more effectively regulate on-street vehicle parking and/or storage. The proposed Ordinance underwent multiple revisions in order to address all the concerns raised by the Committee members. At the April 9th Oversized Vehicle Committee meeting, dates and locations for 3 Town Hall Meetings were established. The purpose for the Meetings was to receive community input. All of the Town Hall Meetings were held at 7pm. The first meeting was located at Dougherty Elementary on April 30th; the second meeting was at Nielson Elementary on May 7th; and the third meeting at City Hall on May 14th. The date, time, and location of the Town Hall Meetings were advertised in the local newspaper, posted on the City's website, and posted at City Hall, the Library, Shannon Center, and Senior Center. Staff prepared a PowerPoint presentation (Attachment 3 to the June 17, 2003 City Council Agenda Statement, Attachment 1) for the Town Hall Meetings and received public comment on the Committee's proposed Ordinance (Attachment 4 to the June 17, 2003 City Council Agenda Statement, Attachment 1). The Oversized Vehicle Committee met one last time on May 21st to review the outcome of the Town Hall Meetings. Ci~, Council Meeting of June 17~ 2003 On June 17, 2003 Staff returned to the City Council with four alternatives regarding on-street parking and/or storage of vehicles and the pros and cons of choosing each alternative (Attachment 1). The City Council directed Staff to proceed with the recommendation of the Oversized Vehicle Committee to adopt a new Ordinance restricting the parking and/or storage of certain commercial vehicles, oversized motor vehicles and non-motorized vehicles (Attachment 3). The Council also expressed its interest in having Staff proceed with the steps outlined in the June 17th Staff Report regarding, presenting the proposed Ordinance at a public hearing for City Council adoption; publishing and posting of a Public Hearing Notice at least 10 days prior to the hearing; developing a public education campaign if the proposed Ordinance is adopted; and, developing operating procedures for the issuance of a 24-hour resident permit and a 5-day visitor permit. Proposed Ordinance - DMC Section 6.04.430 The proposed Ordinance recommended by the Oversized Vehicle Committee (Attachment 3) would repeal in its entirety Dublin Municipal Code Section 6.04.430, On-Street Vehicle Storage Prohibited and replace it with Section 6.04.430, Use of Streets for Parking and/or Storage of Certain Vehicles Prohibited. The current Ordinance states, "No vehicle shall be parked or left standing on a street for seventy-two (72) or more consecutive hours." This regulation prevents on-street storage of vehicles for more than 72-hours and provides a mechanism for Police Services to tow abandoned vehicles. This regulation is being retained in the new Ordinance to regulate on-street storage of vehicles that do not fall within the new definition of being oversized. Additional regulations within the new Ordinance would further restrict certain commercial vehicles, oversized motor vehicles and non-motorized vehicles from being parked and/or stored on the street for more than 48 hours. One, 24-hour extension permit could be obtained from Police Services allowing an oversized vehicle to be parked on the street for a total of 72-hours. The new Ordinance would also restrict certain motorized or non-motorized vehicles from being parked within 45-feet of an intersection. Table 1 compares the existing Ordinance regarding on-street vehicle parking and/or storage with the proposed Ordinance recommended by the Committee.

These changes to the Dublin Municipal Code would restrict the parking and/or storage of certain commercial vehicles, oversized motor vehicles, and non-motorized vehicles on the public street. The Public Hearing Notice was published in the local newspaper, with a larger advertisement than is typically used for Public Hearings, and was posted in various locations throughout the City including City Hall, the Library, Shannon Center, and Senior Center. Information regarding the proposed Ordinance was also posted on the City's website. In addition to advertising in the local newspaper, the four location postings, and the City website, Public Hearing Notices were mailed to residents who previously expressed interest in this item and whose names and addresses were made available to Staff. Staff also notified Dublin based E1 Monte RV and Dan Gamal's Dublin RV Center, the Dublin Chamber of Commerce, and all Dublin based storage facilities that were known to Staff to offer storage for vehicles. It was the intent of Staff to notify all possible affected or interested parties regarding the proposed Ordinance. Public Education Campaign At the June 17, 2003 City Council Meeting, the Council indicated its support of a public education campaign to inform residents of the new regulations proposed in Dublin Municipal Section 6.04.430, Use of Streets for Parking and/or Storage of Certain Vehicles Prohibited. Staff has prepared an educational pamphlet, "A Guide to Oversized Vehicle Parking Regulations" (Attachment 4) to distribute among the residents of Dublin. Staff proposes that Police Services and Code Enforcement would disseminate the pamphlet in the field to owners of commercial vehicles, oversized vehicles, and vehicles parked near intersections by leaving pamphlets on the vehicles and/or making contact with the owners. In addition, the pamphlet would be available and on display at the Dublin Police Department and Community Development Department. The pamphlet could also be added to the City's website. The purpose for the public education campaign is to inform the residents of Dublin of the new regulations prior to the effective date the Ordinance. Staff has recommended that, if passed, the Ordinance not take effect until January 1, 2004 in order to give ample time to conduct community outreach and education. Once effective, the Ordinance would be implemented by Dublin Police Services on a complaint basis or proactively enforced when a public safety issue is observed (i.e. when an oversized motor vehicle is parked in close proximity to an intersection and obstructs the visibility of motorists). The City Council also indicated at the June 17th City Council Meeting that the educational campaign should include the City's zoning regulations for off-street parking and/or storage of recreational vehicles. In response to this request, Staff has included the current zoning regulations in "A Guide to Oversized Vehicle Parking Regulations" (Attachment 4). Staff recognizes that the Planning Commission and City Council may be considering changes to the existing zoning regulations in the near future. If such changes were to take place, Staff would ensure that the new regulations were incorporated into the educational pamphlet and campaign. Operating Procedures for Issuance of Permits The proposed Ordinance allows residents to park an oversized motor vehicle on the public street for a period of 48-hours for the purpose of preparing for, or returning from, a trip. A resident may apply for a permit from Dublin Police Services to extend the time period for an additional 24-hours. The proposed Ordinance also allows for the parking of oversized vehicles on the public street for visitors of Dublin residents. A resident may apply for a permit to allow a visitor to park and/or store their oversized vehicle on the public street fronting the home for a period of 5-days. In order to obtain a 24-hour extension permit or a 5-day visitor permit, a resident would need to file an application (Attachment 5) with Dublin Police Services and provide the following information: 1. The name, address, and phone number of the registered owner and applicant of the designated oversized vehicle. 2. The license number, make and model of designated oversized vehicle. 3. The dates for which the permit is requested. 4. Additional information the police chief or designee may reasonably require. 5. The applicant must sign an application under penalty of perjury. If Dublin Police approves the application, a 24-hour extension permit or a 5-day visitor permit (Attachment 6) would be issued to the resident. The permit would be required to be displayed in the windshield of the vehicle it was issued for. Dublin Police could deny an application for a 24-hour extension permit or for a 5-day visitor permit if: 1. The applicant is not a bona fide City resident. 2. The proposed location in not a street fronting the applicant's residence. 3. The out of town visitor is not the applicant's guest. 4. Information submitted by the applicant is materially false. Dublin Police would maintain a log to track the permits issued and their expiration date (Attachment 7). RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council receive Staff's presentation; open the Public Hearing and receive comments from the Public; question Staff and the Public; close the Public Hearing; deliberate; waive the reading and introduce the Ordinance (Attachment 3) repealing and replacing Section 6.04.430, Use of streets for parking and/or storage of certain vehicles prohibited, and, continue the item to the August 15th City Council meeting to consider adoption of the Ordinance repealing and replacing Section 6.04.430, Use of streets for parking and/or storage of certain vehicles prohibited.

BACKGROUND: A letter dated August 30, 2002, addressed to the Mayor and City Council Members, was received from a group of residents of the Willow Creek subdivision (page 3-4 of Attachment 1) on September 10, 2002. The letter described the residents concerns regarding the parking of recreational vehicles and other COPIES TO: Oversized Vehicle Committee " 'ATTACHMENT I oversized vehicles in the area of Shady Creek and Alamo Creek Park, and requested that the City conmder adopting an Ordinance to address these issues. At the October 15, 2002 City Council Meeting a report was presented to the City Council in response to the issues raised by the residents of ~Villow Creek (Attachment 1). The City Council directed Staff to form an advisory committee in order to evaluate the feasibility of adopting an Oversized Vehicle Ordinance (Attachment 2). DESCRIPTION: Oversized Vehicle Committee At the Council's direction, Staff posted advertisements in the local newspaper and the City's website seeking interested persons to serve on the advisory committee. The City received a total of eight applicatiens. At the January 21, 2003 City Council meeting, the City Council confn'rned the Mayor's recommendation to appoint all eight volunteers who applied by the deadhne to serve on the Oversized Vehicle Committee. Staff met with the newly appointed Committee members on February 5, 2003 to review the purpose and intent of the Committee, which was to look at the safety issues associated with parking of recreational and other oversized vehicles on City Streets and to establish regular meeting dates and times. The Oversized Vehicle Committee held five meetings on alternating Wednesday's at 6 p.m. in the City Manager's Conference Room located at 100 Civic Plaza. These meetings were open to the public. The Committee evaluated the current on-street vehicle storage ordinance; identified issues that the existing ordinance did not address; identified issues within the community that needed to be addressed; and proposed a new ordinance to more effectively regulate on-street vehicle parking/storage. The proposed ordinance underwent multiple revisions in order to address all the concerns raised by the Committee members. Another key element that the Committee wanted to see accompany the proposed ordinance was an outreach and education campaign. At the April 9, 2003, Oversized Vehicle Committee meeting, dates and locations for three Town Hall meetings were established. All of the Town Hall meetings were held at 7pm. The first meeting was located at Dougherty Elementary on April 30, and approximately 20 citizens, excluding Staff, attended this meeting. The second meeting was at Nielsen Elementary on May 7th, and approximately 8 citizens, excluding Staff, attended this meeting. The third and final Town Hall meeting was held at City Hall on May 14m, and was attended by approximately 15 citizens, excluding Staff. The dates, times, and locations of the Town Hall meetings were advertised in a local newspaper, posted on the City's website, and posted at City Hall, the Library, Shannon Center, and Senior Center. Staff prepared a PowerPoint presentation (Attachment 3) for the Town Hall meetings and received public comment on the Committee's proposed Ordinance (Attachment 4). The Oversized Vehicle Committee met one last time on May 21st to review the outcome of the Town Hall meetings, and incorporated a new section, which addressed that in a declared State of Emergency that the prohibitions of this proposed ordinance would not apply. Alternatives Staff has provided the Council with four alternatives regarding on-street parking/storage of vehicles. Each alternative weighs the pros and cons of choosing that alternative. The fn:st alternative is to consider adopting the proposed ordinance as recommended by the Oversized Vehicle Committee (Attachment 5). The second alternative is to amend the existing ordinance to address vehicle parking/storage near intersections. The third alternative is to maintain the existing ordinance, but conduct community outreach and education regarding responsible ownership of large vehicles. Lastly, the fourth alternative is to simply maintain the existing ordinance. Alternative 1 -Adopt the Proposed Ordinance At the conclusion of the Oversized Vehicle Committee Meetings and the three Town Hall meetings, the Committee is recommending that the City Council adopt the new proposed ordinance to regulate on-street parking/storage of large or oversized vehicles (Attachment 5). Table 1 compares the existing ordinance regarding on-street vehicle storage with the proposed ordinance recommended by the Committee. Highlight most critical aspects of the proposed ordinance.

Would allow on-saeet par~g State of Emergency Claus~ Excludes None of Overs~ed Ve~cles d~g Emergency Vehicles declared state of emergency Pros · Proposed ordinance would require the movement of identified oversized vehicles from the City streets for a minimum of 48 hours. This would eliminate the circumventing of the existing ordinance by requiring the removal of the oversized vehicles from the roadway. · Increased sight distance and increased vehicular and pedestrian safety in those neighborhoods with existing on street oversized vehicle storage. · Ordinance would allow 48-hour preparation and cleanup period for oversized vehicles parked in front of owner's residence. · Proposed ordinance would allow 5-day guest parking for oversized vehicles. Cons · Possible increased congestion of passenger vehicle parking on roadways based on the removal of oversized vehicles onto driveways and side access. · Difficulty of compliance for some oversized vehicle owners based on lack of availability at local storage sites. · In a residential neighborhood, this alternative may displace some on street parking near intersections to other on-street locations mid-block. While this would make the intersection safer, it could create visual obstructions mid-block for residents who are backing out of their driveways. · This alternative would prevent resident's who live on a comer lot and own a vehicle over 7- feet in height from parking their vehicle on the street in front of or to the side of their home. This restricts on-street parking for residents of comer lots and may result in displacing these vehicles to other on-street locations in front of an adjacent residence. · Lastly, this alternative may result in an increase in parking in the front yard of a residence, impacting the aesthetics of the neighborhood and potentially creating zoning violations. If is City Conncil's direction is to proceed with Alternative 1, the following identifies the next step(s): I. Staff to publish/post Public Hearing Notice introducing the proposed Ordinance for minimum of 10 days. Staff to bring back the proposed Ordinance for City Council's consideration. Staffto develop a public education campaign if the proposed Ordinance is passed. IV. Staffto develop an operating procedure on the issuance of the 24-hour resident and 5-day visitor permits. Alternative 2 - Amend the Existing Ordinance This alternative would amend the Dublin Municipal Code Title 6, Article VII, Chapter 6.04.430, On-street vehicle storage prohibited, to include a provision that would prohibit the parking of any vehicle, motorized or non-motorized, which is 6-feet or more in height, within 45-feet of any intersection within the City of Dublin. This provision was recommended by the Oversized Vehicle Committee in response to concerns about the safety of intersections where the parking of large vehicles creates visual obstructions to motorists. Currently, Chapter 6.04.430 prohibits the parking of vehicles on a public street for more than seventy-two (72) hours (Attachment 6). This alternative proposes to add language to this Chapter that would prohibit parking within 45-feet of an intersection if a vehicle is over 6-feet in height. This provision would apply to all intersections City-wide. Pros · By adding language to the existing regulations, visual obstructions at intersections would be reduced and the safety of intersections within Dublin would be improved. Cons · This alternative does not address existing problems with the "72 hour law". Currently, a vehicle is prohibited from being parked on the street for more than 72 hours. Because the existing ordinance does not specify a time period for which a vehicle must be removed from the street, a vehicle can be shifted just a few feet and the 72-hour time limit starts over. This effectively allows the storage of vehicles on the street. · In a residential neighborhood, this alternative may displace some on street parking near intersections to other on-street locations mid-block. While this would make the intersection safer, it could create visual obstructions mid-block for residents who are backing out of their driveways. · This alternative would prevent resident's who live on a comer lot and own a vehicle over 7- feet in height from parking their vehicle on the street in front of or to the side of their home. This restricts on-street parking for residents of comer lots and may result in displacing these vehicles to other on-street locations in front of an adjacent residence. · Lastly, this alternative may result in an increase in parking in the front yard of a residence, impacting the aesthetics of the neighborhood and potentially creating zoning violations. If is City Council's direction is to proceed with Alternative 2, the following identifies the next step(s): I. Staff to publish/post Public Heating Notice introducing the amended Ordinance for minimum of 10 days. II. Staffto bring back the amended Ordinance for City Council's consideration. Alternative 3 - Community Education There would be no change to the existing city ordinance regarding on-street storage of vehicles. Staff would create an educational pamphlet concerning responsible ownership of large vehicles. The educational pamphlet would include, but would not be limited to, information on the safety hazards that on-street parking of large vehicles creates for both vehicular and pedestrian traffic. The pamphlet would also include options for on-site storage based on the current Dublin Zoning Ordinance and a list of local off-site storage facilities (Attachment 7). /CC ~;:~-,~::: The police would utilize the informational pamphlet during those times when complaints are recel-0ed regarding violations of the current 72-hour on-street vehicle storage ordinance. Pros · This alternative would provide education concerning the hazards surrounding the parking/storage of large vehicles on the public roadways. It would kindly request compliance and provides other options for vehicle storage. Cons · This option would provide no further enhanced enforcement during those occasions when an indiv/dual circumvents the current ordinance by moving a vehicle a few feet every 72-hours. The vehicle would be in compliance with the current ordinance even though the vehicle remains basically in the same location. In these cases, the police continue to receive complaints from the community. If is City Council's direction is to proceed with Alternative 3, the following identifies the next step(s): Staff to develop information pamphlet and distribute them when complaints are received regarding the violations of the current 72-hour on-street vehicle storage. Alternative 4 - Maintain the Existing Regulations This alternative would maintain the existing regulations (Chapter 6.04.430) that prohibits the parking of any vehicle on a street for more than 72-hours. Pros · None could be identified. Cons · Maintaining the existing regulations would not address the safety issues that have been identified as a result of on-street parking/storage of large vehicles. It also does not address existing problems with the "72-hour law" as mentioned previously in this staff report. If is City Council's direction is to proceed with Alternative 4 the following identifies the next steps: None required. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council, receive the Staff presentation and provide Staffwith direction on the proposed alternatives or supply additional direction to Staff. CITY CLERK AGENDA STATEMENT CiTY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: October 15, 2002 SUBJECT: Oversized Vehicle Parking on Residential Streets Report Prepared by: Glenn Moon, Lieutenant - Police Services ATTACHMENTS: Letter of Complaint From Residents Of Willow Creek Subdivision ~ Receive Staff'report and provide direction to Staff regarding RECOMMENDATION: additional action or study on this issue FINANCIAL STATEMENT: None DESCRIPTION: On September 10, 2002 a letter addressed to the Mayor and City Council Members was received from a group of residents of the Willow Creek Subdivision in Dublin. The letter described their concerns attributed to the parking of' recreational vehicles and other oversized vehicles in the area of Shady Creek and Alamo Creek Park. The letter requested that the City adopt a City Ordinance that would address the issue of recreational vehicle and oversized vehicle parking in the City of Dublin. The current Dublin City Ordinance, Traffic Code, and Zoning Ordinances do not address the specific issue of on street parking of recreational vehicles or oversized vehicles. The only existing enforcement statute that pertains to this or similar situations is Dublin Municipal Code §6.04.430a "On-street Vehicle Storage Prohibited." This allows the "tagging" of the vehicle and towing the vehicle afmr seventy-two (72) hours. Unfortunately, it does not address how far the vehicle has to be moved, to meet the 72-hour restriction, nor does it place any limits on how many total days a vehicle can be on the roadway in a specific period of time. Police Services visited the neighborhood of Shady Creek on at least three separate occasions since the date of the letten Staff observed three recreational vehicles parked in the surrounding neighborhood. One recreational vehicle could be deemed as a traffic hazard, as it blocked the view of oncoming traffic, This was a large motor home with an attached cargo trailer. The vehicle was marked for tow if not moved within 72 hours. This same motor home was given an advisement warning andmarked for tow on three additional occasions during the past three weeks. The owner moves the vehicle several feet every 72 hours, which prevents any further enforcement action. The motor home remains parked generally in the same location. The registered owners of the remaining two recreational vehicles complied with the existing statutory requirement when requested to do so by Police Services and moved their vehicles from the area. COPIES TO: Joseph & Pat Banche=o for the Willow Creek 'Residents " H/cc-forms/agdastmt. doc _ ATTACHMENT 1 In the majority of eases, the "tagging" of a vehicle will gain compliance in moving ~ vehicle from the roadway. There are those cases in which the owner of the vehicle moves the vekiele from one side of the road or a few feet down the road. This starts the 72-hour clock again and prohibits the enforcement of the ordinance. The current ordinance does nothing to help address the issues of traffic hazards that oversized vehicles cause in residential areas. In 1986, the City of Dublin adopted its current Recreational Vehicle Ordinance, which regulates off-street parking of recreational vehicles. This ordinance was adopted after intense debate over a proposed ordinance that would have restricted the parking of recreational vehicles in driveways and side yards throughout the City of Dublin. The ordinance did not address the issue of the parking of commercial, oversized and non-motorized vehicles on city streets; but it relied on the 72-hour ordinance to address the problem of long-term parking. A review was conducted of several City Ordinances from jurisdictions throughout California who have been successful in adopting specific Oversize Vehicle and Non-Motorized Vehicle Ordhaances, The City of Costa Mesa has recently adopted an ordinance that covers the parking of commercial, oversized and non- motorized vehicles on all city streets. Their ordinance was adopted aRer considerable input from both city staffand the recreational vehicle owners of their city. Costa Mesa's ordinance contains the following: · No parking of commercial vehicles over 5 tons over 3 hours except for loading and unloading. · No parking of non-motorized and recreational vehicles/campers in residential areas for more than 48 hours. An additional 24 hours is allowed on a permit basis from the police department. · No parking of oversized vehicle within forty-five (45) feet of an intersection. · Vehicles parked on the s'creet for the 48-72 hour permitted period must then be moved from the City limits for period of at least 48 hours. Adopting a similar ordinance could eliminate owners of oversized and non-motorized vehicles from evading the intent of the current law by moving their vehicle(s) a few feet every couple of days to avoid enforcement efforts. An advisory committee could be created in order to evaluate the feasibility of adopting an oversized vehicle ordinance for the City of Dublin. If approved, the committee should be made up of representatives from Police Services, the Planning Department, the Traffic Safety Cornmittee, and community members. Staff recommends the City Council receive the report and provide direction to Staff regarding additional a~ion or study on this issue. Mayor, City of Dublin Dublin City Council Dublin Blvd. Dublin, CA August, 2002 Dear Mayor and City Council Members: We are residents of the Willow Creek Subdivision and are'writing to express our ~ regarding an increasingly Serious problem we are experiencing related to vehicles, including motor homes and boats and oommemial yetiS, parked for extended periocls of time on the streets of our neigh .b0rhood. Of particular concern is the area on ~[y Creek acrtes and in front of the Alamo Creek Over the weeks residents have experienced numerous such problems. Recently, for a week Or kroger, a large motor home and frailer with for saJe sign parked there extending into the street. On this date a second motor home was parked On the opposite side of the street in the area. This cause~ a near collision between anti resident driving into the area between the two vehicles and another exiting and approaching the same ama from a curve. The on coming vehicte was barely able to stop in time to prevent a collision. We requested an ~ to come out and chedc on the ~ehicles and were informed that t~e only thing he could do was to mark the tires and, if the vehicle remained in the same spot for 72 houm it could then be towed. However, since some residents called the owner Of one of ttte vehicles to complain, it is now bei~g moved from one side to the street to the other side. Therefore, we feel that the existing City Ordinance needs to be changed. The ordinance need to revised to state that both motor, homes and non motorized vehicles such as boats and traile~s not; be allowed to park on city streets, without permits, ~ the hours of 2:00 AM and 6:00 AM. There are ordinances in surrounding c,~es that enable the police ~0 cite and i or tow such vehicles.

OVERSIZED VEHICLE PARKING ON RESIDI~ITIAL STREETS 7:29 p.m. 5. I (570-20) Lt. Glenn Moon, Police Services, presented the Staff Report, indicating that a letter to the Mayor and City Council was received on September I0, 2002, from a group of residents of the Willow Creek Subdivision in Dublin. The letter described their safety concerns attributed to tke parking of recreational vehicles and other oversized vehicles in the area of Shady Creek and Alamo Creek Parle The letter requested that the City adopt an Ordinance'that would address the issue of recreational vehicle and oversized vehicle parking in the City of Dublin. In 1986, the City of Dublin adopted its current Recreational Vehicle Ordinance, which regulates off-street parking of recreational vehicles. This ordinance does not address the issue of the parking of commercial, oversized and nonzmotorized vehicles on City streets; but relied on the 7Z-hour ordinance to address the problem of long~term parking. A review was conducted of several City ordinances from jurisdictions throughout California who have been successful in adopting specific Oversize Vehicle and Non~ Motorized Vehicle Ordinances. The City of Costa Mesa's recently adopted ordinance covered the parking of commercial, oversize and non-motorized vehicles on all city streets~ and contains the following restrictions: No parking of commercial vehicles over 5 tons over 3 hours except for loading and mxloading; No parking of non-motorized and recreational vehicles/campers/n residential areas for more than 48 hours, with an additional 24 hours is allowed on a permit basis from the police deparkneng No parking of oversized vehicles within 45 feet of an intersection; and Vehicles parked on the street for the 45~7Z hour permitted period must f~ten be moved from the City limits for a period of at least 48 hours. Slaff recommended that an advisory committee be created in order to evaluate the feasibility of adopting an Oversized Vehicle Ordinance if Council so desired, and asked for Council direction regarding this matter. Cm. McCormick asked for the definition o£ "oversized vehicle.~ CITY COUNCIL MINUTES VOLUME 21 REGULAR MEETING October 15, 2002 PAGE 51 9 ATTACHMENT 2 Lt. Moon advised that an oversized vehicle would be 27. feet in length or 7 feet in width or 7 feet in height. .Mayor Locldaart asked about commercial vehicles. It. Moon indicated that Dublin's present Commercial Vehicle Ordinance does not allow commercial vehicles in resident/al areas unless loading or unloading, with a 5~ton or 10,000 lb. limit.' Most recreational vehicles don't reach the 5~ton limit. The adoption of an ordinance for oversized vehicles needs to be adopted to cover a/1City streets, not just the residential area. Otherwise, people will move their oversized vehicle out of the. residential area into the commercial area, and then move it loaclc Staff suggests the vehicles be moved from City limits for a period of 48 hours. Mayor Lockhart asked how the ordin~ce would be monitored? Lt. Moon indicated that the Traffic Division of Dublin Polices Services is in ttme to these vehicles already through citizen complaints. An ordinance would establish procedures, including a warning placard on the vehiei% and vehicle tracking. Cm. Zilra aslmd if Dublin already had a Commercial Vehicle Ordinance? . Lt. Moon in,cared yes, an ordimmce was adopted several years ago regarding major commercial vehicles (semi-trucks with trailers) on certain commercial streets, as well as restrictions on residential streets. These vehicles have a three-hour parking limit in restricted areas and cannot be parked overnight. Cm. Zika stated that Police Services is not doing good job of enforcing that ordinance now. Two dump trucks have been parking on Village Parkway for the past two weekends. City Manager Richard Ambrose asked where on V'fllase Parkway the dump trucks were parked. The Commercial Vehicle Ordinance prohibits parking in residential districts, and certain restricted commercial areas. Some commercial areas allow for commercial vehicle parking. Cm. Zika indicated that the proposed ord/nance amendment should exclude parking commercial vehicles alo~ag all of Village Parkway. Lt. Moon recommended that the ordinance encompass both commercial and oversize vehicles. CITY COUNCIL MINUTI~S VOLUM~ ZI REG~ MEETING October 15, 2002 PAGE 520 Mayor Lockhart advised that she always receives complaints about people bringing home work vehicles with trailers attached, and asked if the proposed ordinance would cover commercial vehicles parked in front of an employee own home? It. Moon indicated yes, if it fails under tonnage limit. This ordinance would allow for vehicles under IO7000 lbs and moved daily, so it wouldn't apply to that situation. Cm. Oravetz asked what happened to the camper on Shady Creek Road that instigated the neighborhood letter? Lt. Moon indicated that the vehicle stayed in place over 7Z hours and was towed; however, it took several weeks to achieve that. Cm. Oravetz asked ff the whole curb area on Shady Creek where this vehicle was parked could be painted red? Lt. Moon advised against that suggestion; it would take away too much parking for the park. Although an oversized vehicle on fl~at portion of the road would cause sa/ety concerns, regular vehicles would not. Mayor Lockhart read a letter submitted by 10 residents on Burnham Way and Frederiksen Lane, encouraging the Council to form a taskforce to coasider amendiag the current ordinance. Mayor Lockhart read a speaker slip submitted by Jefrey watts, Frederiksen Lane, who supported the concept of an ordinance against ove~ vehicles parking on residential streets. Mayor Lockhart read a speaker slip submitted by Yvonne Nickles, Burnham Way, who supported the formation of a committee to discuss an ordinance amendment. Kathleen Robinson~ Frederiksen Lane~ encouraged the Council to review the Municipal Code section regarding parking motor homes on private property, and alleged that a motor home was parked in the driveway of a neigltbor's house to provide housing for transient workers for a local fast-food restaurant. She distributed photos to the Council of the motor home. Cm. Sbranti recommended that, for safety and aesthetic reasons, the Council establish a committee to look at m-street and off-street parking for all ovez~ized commercial and recreational vehicles. CITY COUNCIL MINDTES VOLUME £ 1 REGULAR MEETING October 15, 2002 PAGE 521 Mr. Ambrose reviewed the current ordinance, which proh/bits commercial vehicles in residential district, and those in excess of $ tons on any street, with several exceptions including delivery tracks,.passenger buses, public utility vehicles, school buses, and garbage/recycling tracks. Currently, the Commercial Vehicle Ordinance in residential districts does not have a size limitation, but has a weight limitation of $ tons. Commercial districts are affected by other sections of the code~ depending on how the stx-eets are posted, the weight of the vehicle, etc. In terms of residential areas, Council has discussed the issue before and has prohibited vehicles based on weight. Mayor Lockhart asked the size of the motor home shown in the photo? Lt. Moon advised that the majority of motor homes are built light for fuel economy, and offered to look into the weight capacity of the vehicle in photo. Mr. Ambrose indicated that the current ordinance was precipitated by owner-operators of trac~ businesses parking their rig on the residential street in front of their homes. The Council initiated and adopted the ordinance to preclude those types of commercial vehicles in residential disWicts. Cm. Sbranti asked if Council could direct a committee to review the existing ordinance and the new issue about oversized vehicles parking on residential streets? The Council and Staff discussed the scope of the committee, and how the meetings · would be held. It was suggested that community input be derived from a series of town hall meetings, with an advisory committee with representatives from both sides of the issue, discussing and making recommendations. Cm. McCormick expressed a desire to really define the scope of the committee. The commercial area may not need to be looked at right now. Cm. Sbranti suggested that the committee look at the issue of oversized vehicle parking on residential streets. As a separate issue~ the Council could review and consider the issue of commercial vehicle parking in commercial districts at a future Council meeting. Cm. Zika felt that the Council still needed ~o consider off-street oversized vehicle parking in residential areas, as well as on-street parking. Lt. Moon indicated that Dublin's current Recreational Vehicle Parking Ordinance is part of the Zoning Ordinance~ which dealt with designated off-street parking areas (driveway, paved area next to the roadway~ rear yards, etc.) in private residences. He reconuuended any established committees dealing with on-street parking~ and CIT~' COUNCIL MINUTES VOLUME g 1 REGULAR MEETING October 15, 2002 PAGE 522 commercial parking, should be handled separately.from parking on private property because it would be too cumbersome. One is a private property zoning issue; lite other is a traffic and a street issue. Cm. Oravetz made a motion to form an advisory committee in order to evaluate the feas~ility of trolling an Oversized Vehicle Ordinance. The Committee should be made up of representatives from Police Services, Planning Department, Traffic Safety Committee, and community members appointed by Mayor Lockhart. Cm. McCormick seconded the motion for diSCUssion. ¢ o · Cm. McCormick clarified that a committee would be created to look at one item: residential on-street parking. The other two issues, commercial vehicles parked in commercial districts and on-site RV Parking, are problems that should be dealt with by the Council. The Council concurred and indicated a desire for the issues to come back to Council in a timely manner. Mr. Ambrose advised that most of the complaints received by Staff were regarding . inoperative vehicles on private property or on the public street, few complaints are received with respect to commercial vehicles parked on commercial streets. He asked CounciPs permission to look specifically into Cm. Zika's complaints to ascertain whether. or not it's in compli~uce with our current ordinance. Cm. Zika agreed. Mayor Lockhart stated that it might resolve ~hat particular issue; however, it is obvious that the oversized vehicles on private proper~ zonirt$ issue needs to be considered by The Council concurred and directed Staff to prepare a Staff Report for a Council meeting in the near future regarding oversized vehicle parking on private property. On motion of Cm. Oravetz, seconded by Cm. McCormick, and by unanimous vote, the Council accepted Staff's recommendation to establish a Committee., which would be advertised to the public, and set up a series of town hall meetings to discuss the issue of on-street parking of oversized vehicles in residential areas.

Cm. Sbranti added Staff should look at a potential process for CUP - under what guidelines could someone apply for CUP - if we limit the size. He felt it important that there is an opportunity for exceptions. People could register their vehicle and if we change the rules, this could be problematic. Grandfathering could be looked at to determine how to deal with specific cases. Other issue is ffwe do look at height and s/ze limitations, look at what a CUP process would be in order to get a CUP. The City Counc/1 stated they were not ready to recommend changes to the ordinance at this point. Mr. Ambrose asked if staff should go to the Planning Commission with these issues, or come back directly to the City Council? Vm. McCormick stated she felt it would be good to get comments from the Planning Commission. Mr. Ambrose asked if staff should go with a report or with an ordinance? Mayor Lockhart stated she felt we should ask them if they feel a change in the ordinance would be warranted. They could make recommendations to the City Council. Mark Cooley (no speaker siip) stated he has lived here since 1967. He commented the survey may be wrong, since two of the pictures shown were wrong. ~ RECESS 9:21 p.m. Mayor Lockhart called for short recess. At 9:28 p.m., the Council meeting reconvened with all Counciimembers present. ON~STREET PARKING OF OVERSIZED VEHICLE ALTERNATIVES 9:28 p.m. 7.2 (570~20) Assistant City Manager Joni Pattillo presented the Staff Report, which was additionally prepared Lieutenant Glenn Moon, Dublin Police Serv/ces, and Marnie Waffle, Assistant Planner. C~TY COUNCIL MINUTES ~ ©~JME 22 Jane 1.7, 2~03 ATTACHMENT Ms. Patfillo discussed the Oversized Vehicte Committee appointments and meetings and recognized Committee members: Bob Abbey, Robert Branaugh, Lisa Trujillo, Sam Wills, Chris Moiler, Bill Burnham, Gaylene Burkett and Beth Howard. She also recognized Lt. Glenn Moon and Marnie Waffle. Several alternatives were presented, along with the pros and cons of each, including: Alternative 1 - Adopt the Proposed New Ordinance (as recommended by the Oversized Vehicle Committee). The provisions of a new Ordinance were discussed, which would require the movement of identified oversized vehicles from the City streets for a minimum of 48 hours. The ordinance would allow 48-hour preparation and cleanup period for oversized vehicles parked in front of owner's residence, and ordinance would allow 5-day guest parking for oversized vehicles. If the City Council direction is to proceed with Alternative 1, the following identifies the next steps: 1) Staff to publish/post Public Hearing Notice introducing the proposed Ordinance for minimum of 10 days; 2) Staff to bring back the proposed Ordinance for City Councii consideration; 3) Staff to develop a public education campaign if the proposed Ordinance is passed; and 4) Staff to develop an operating procedure on the issuance of the 24~hour resident and 5-day visitor permits. Alternative 2 - Amend the Existing Ordinance (to include a provision that would prohibit the park/rig of any vehicle2 motorized or non-motorized, which is 6~ or more in height, within 45' of any intersection within the City of Dublin). If the City Council direction is to proceed with Alternative 2, the following identifies the next steps: 1) Staff to publish/post Public Hearing Notice introducing the antended Ordinance for minimum of 10 days; and 2) Staff to bring back the amended Ordinance for City Council consideration. Alternative 3 - Community Education (no change to the existing Ordinance). If the City Council direction is to'proceed with Alternative 3, the next step would be for Staff to develop information pamphlet and distribute them when complaints are received regarding the violations of the current 72-hour on-street vehicle storage. Alternative 4 - Maintain the Existing Regulations. If the City Council direction is to proceed with Alternative 4, there would be no further steps required. Vm. McCormick asked about the 5 day guest pass. Would they be allowed to occupy the motor home? Ms. Pattillo replied no, this is against the law. It is a health and safety issue. CITY C©UNCiL MINUTES VOLUME 22 REGULAR MEETING. J-,~e !77 20,03 PAGE 406 Cm. Sbranti asked what is done to discern the weight of the vehicle? Lt. Moon stated currently~ commercial weight is 6,000 lbs., and most agencies look at 5 tons as being the maximum allowed in a residential area. You can usually average it by the manufactures. Commercial weight limit and RVs are two separate issues. Cm. Zika asked if the 5-day v/sitor permit would be per month or per year or what? Lt. Moon replied it could be once in a 30 day period and they have to live outside the City limits of Dublin, at least 50 miles away.

Mayor Lockhart read a statement submitted by Denise Watts, Frederiksen Lane: I support the new orob'nance."

' CiTY COUNCIL MINUTES .,june 17~ 2003 PAGE ~97 Mayor Lockhart read an unsigned statement which was submitted with two pictures of an RV, one captioned 'Please note proximity to fire hydranf¢ and one captioned "Please note dangerous visibility blockage out of driveway iR front of gV':' "I called three RV storage places today~ all in Dublin. All three had available R Vstorage. Dublin Security Storage had 1Z various sized spaces from ZZ feet long to 30 feet long. Dublin U-haul had $ spaces available 10 x SO, 13 x 30 and 13 x 40. Dublin Self Storase has 3 10 x 30 spaces and their sister company in Zivermore has a dedicated K V storase facility with many spaces available. T~ose were lhe only three I checked w~th, there maybe more storage available in Publin, but they aIl had vacancies. Roxanne Mohandro was called on to speak, but had apparently left the meeting. John T. Collins, stated alternative 4 says maintain existing regulations but not address the safety issues of on-street parking. Imagine his surprise when he learned there were less accidents than where the view was clear. A bad current ordinance is worse than a worse new one. The ordinance itself got state of emergency added to it. This misses the point entirely. If we have a huge earthquake, he could probably not get to it so the food he could provide to many people wouldn't be there, because his RV isn't there. In the event of a serious emergency involving terrorists, the RV might not even be there. Philtip Brenlee, Tamarack Drive, admitted he has an illegally parked vehicle. The proposal of alternative 1 seems to be unenforceable. He is concerned about safety. His vehicle is 52' long and 1:3 V2' tall. He parks in front of his house even though this is illegal. He doesn't get complaints from his neighbor. Alternative 2 is much better. Alternative $ is fine with him, which seems to be a do nothing thing. He stated he doesn't like Alternative 4. People that wrote the original letter deserve resolution. He has a satellite broadcast truck and provides news. If for some reason he is no longer able to park his vehicle at his house, he w/Il have no employment. He urged the Council just don't do nothing. Dan Rodrigues stated some of the people who visit may have rental motor homes and also 10i000 lbs is not very much weight. Cm. Zika commented on wanting to get the RVs off the public street. Cm. Sbranti commended the Committee. He agreed with Cm. Zika. We are loolcLng at ways to allow for off~street parking of these vehicles, but from aesthetic and safety issues of neighborhood, the guidelines are reasonable. He stated he would also like to see community education. When we get our off-street regulations, the education should include both. Go forward with education program. C~T¥ COL!NC~L MtN'UTES ¥OLUME 22 REGULAR MEETING June I :~ PAGE Cm. Oravetz concurred with Cm. Sbranti and Cm. Zika and stated he likes the new ordinance. The '72-hours rule always bothered him. Vm. McCormick stated she also supports alternative 1 and likes it that the Corrumittee drafted it. She also likes the idea of including community education with it. Mayor Lockhart thanked the Committee. They did an exceptional job. There were a variety of opinions and they came together with various opinions. She stated she likes seeing the visitor provision. She will also support Alternative 1 with a public education aspect. Cm. Sbranti would also like to see off-street education as part of this. On motion of Cm. Zika, seconded by Cm. Oravetz, and by unanimous vote, the Council accepted Alternative 1, with steps outlined in Staff Report. (Staff to publish/post Public Hearing Notice introducing the proposed Ordinance minimum of 10 days; Staff to bring back the proposed Ordinance for City Council's consideration; Staff to develop a public education campaign ff the proposed Ordinance is passed; and Staff to develop an operating procedure on the issuance of the 24-hour resident and 5~day visitor permits) FAIRWAY RANCH AFFORDABLE PROIECT 9:59 p.m. 7.3 (430-80) City Attorney Elizabeth Silver presented the Staff Report. This agenda item was to update the City Council on discussions Staff has had with the Lin Family's representatives and representatives of potential lenders related to the issue of subordination. The informational Staff Report addressed: Proposed Multi-Family, Senior and Condominium Housing Projects; City's Inclusionary Zoning Regulations and Density Bonus Ordinance; Proposed Financing; What is Subordination and what would its impact be on the proposed Fairway Ranch project; and Status o£ Discussions between Lin Family and Staff.
