RV parking ordinance

Said the RV ordinance is 20 years outdated, the council agreed months ago to update it, and RV owners just want the promised workshop scheduled and no fines in the meantime.

Echoed the request for a workshop date, saying RV owners want a win-win with the city and just need to know when and how the process moves forward.

Asked the council to follow through on August's promises: schedule the public workshops, pause citations until the issue is resolved, and give residents a clear timeline.

Asked the council to amend the RV ordinance to let homeowners keep one licensed, working RV or trailer in their driveway, with setbacks for sidewalks and corner sight lines, since off-site storage runs about $200 a month.

Called the 2004 ordinance outdated and asked the council to adopt an approach like Fillmore, Oxnard, Ventura or Camarillo that allows RV parking in driveways.

Received a removal letter despite a prior Yard of the Month award; asked the council to focus on street-blocking vehicles and to put the ordinance on a future agenda.

Served on the 2007 city-appointed RV committee whose recommendations were never acted on; asked the council to revisit the ordinance.

Said RVs are allowed in driveways in Ventura, Oxnard and Camarillo, and argued city resources would be better spent on potholes and street racing than RV citations.

Asked the council to allow storage of legally registered, operational vehicles on private driveways when they don't block access, citing storage costs for working and retired families.
