DISCUSSION:
Health & Safety Code Section 33490 requires that California Redevelopment Agencies have an
ongoing Five-Year Implementation Plan for the life of each project area. Our current Plan expires
on June 30, 2004.
The Rosenow Spevacek Group (RSG) in Santa Ana has been our Redevelopment consultant for
many years and is very familiar with our increment base, financial statements and the activities of
the Agency. They complete the annual State Controller's Report of Financial Transactions, and
provide staff annually with gross tax increment and pass-through data.
RSG has proposed to meet with staff and prepare the Implementation Plan for the fiscal years
2004-05 through 2008-09. The cost of services is $11,040. A copy of their proposal is attached.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Agency Board approve The Rosenow Spevacek Group to prepare the new Five-Year
Implementation Plan, and that it appropriate$11,040 from Redevelopment funds.

4,Comprehensive Fee Schedules,Fines and Taxes,by Adding a New Chapter 4.105,
Recreational Vehicle Parking and Storage Fines
Assistant City Manager Berry, gave a brief report on the history of this item. He indicated
that staff is recommending that the City Council review the proposed RV/Utility Trailer
Parking Ordinance as recommended by the Planning Commission,accept public input,then
approve and/or adopt the or Staff is also recommending that the concept of permit
fees to cover Code Enforcement costs be omitted from the ordinance.
Mayor Garcia opened discussion to the public.
Steve Benart, 22711 Fairbum Drive, indicated that he supports the proposed ordinance.
Bill Warren, 11773 Holly Street, expressed his concern with the following items:
Item v. All non-motorized recreational vehicles must be attached to the tow vehicle ifparked
on a public street.
Item b. All recreational vehicles when parked or stored on residential properties must
display current vehicle registration tags. Those recreational vehicles not displaying current
registration tags will be considered in-operable and must be removed from the public view
which includes streets, sidewalks and adjacent properties.
Item i. If a recreational vehicle is parked or stored on a portion of a driveway leading to the
garage ofthe residence,the garage door must be fully operational which means it can be fully
opened at all time.
He has concerns with the 10.5 foot set-back.
Item q. No camper shells or cab-over-campers shall be stored in the front yard or side yard
other than on an operable and licensed pick-up truck parked in a lawful manner. Said camper
shells or cab-over-campers may be stored unmounted in the rear yard so long as they are
screened in conformance with Section 18.73.200 of the Municipal Code.
He has concerns with the fines. He requested that the Council consider added value of what
a task team could bring to the ordinance.
Vicki Doyle, 12035 Westwood Lane, expressed her concern with the pressure that is being
placed on the community. She expressed her concern with the 10 foot set-back. She
expressed her concern with the requirement of covers on the recreational vehicle. She feels
that this ordinance needs more community input.
Council Minutes
February 26,2004
Page 5
Chuck Collier, 22715 Kentfield Street, expressed his concerns with not being able to park
his recreational vehicle in his driveway,with the fine for a torn cover,and with the set-back.
He feels that if the quality of life is endangered because of not being able to park recreational
toys on personal property,people will move to communities that do allow this. He feels that
further research should be done before this ordinance is adopted.
Craig Stottlem�er, 23053 Sisken Court, expressed some concerns with the proposed
ordinance and feels that there needs to be a balance between a Home Owners Association
and what the City is doing.
Lenore Frost, 11987 Honey Hill Drive,stated that safety should always be a factor,however,
she also feels that we should allow flexibility with what people own and what people want
to do with their property and what happens on your own personal property should be your
business. She doesn't want Grand Terrace to become a community where everything has to
be perfect.
Rqy Donaldson, 22696 Arliss Drive, expressed his concern with the requirement of having
a cover on the RV. He questioned what benefit this ordinance will have on RV owners. He
feels that the ordinance is restrictive. He questioned if there will be a grandfather rule.
Ronald Martin,23019 Siskin Court,indicated that he personally doesn't like to see RV's in
driveways,however,he understands that people may have different circumstances that won't
allow them to park their RV's anywhere else. He feels that the issues are more than just
RV's,he feels that it is all of the junk that people have in their front yards. He feels that the
City should make people get rid of the junk in their yards not the RV's. He questioned if
there is a time limit on how long a RV can be out in the street while you are getting ready to
leave and when you come home to clean it up.
B.J. Barren, 12028 Arliss Drive, feels that safety is an issue and she agrees with that,
however, she feels that there are other vehicles that can be obstructive as well. She is
uncomfortable with the path that she feels we are going down.
Thelma Winkler, 12570 Mt. Vernon Avenue, expressed her concern with requiring a cover
on an RV.
Councilmember Hilkey,indicated that a cover is not required,the ordinance prohibits using
rocks,bottles and other weights to keep a cover in place that is the only reference to covers.
Mayor Garcia closed the public hearing and returned discussion to the Council.
CityAttomeyHarper,indicated that the base question is may cities adopt recreational vehicle
Council Minutes
February 26,2004
Page 6
ordinances that govern where you can park them and under what circumstances and the
answer is clearly yes. There are very few cities in California that don't some have some form
of ordinance including Grand Terrace. Are there constitutional issues concerning whether
or not a city has the ability to affect how private property is used,no. Clearly cities everyday
affect both before a house is built and after a house is built what happens on a piece of
property, every house is built for example with setbacks, those setbacks are imposed by
cities, there are building codes that are imposed by cities, there are all kinds of laws that
apply to what you may or may not do on private property. Penal Codes apply, city codes
apply, health' and safety codes apply so there really are no constitutional issues. The
question,however, is why you are here tonight and that is what Grand Terrace wants to do
specifically about its regulations concerning where RV's are parked.
Councilmember Larkin, questioned if we could continue this item so that some of the
residents that were unable to read the ordinance can have the opportunity to do so and speak
on it again.
City Attorney Harper,responded in the affirmative.
Assistant Ci jyManager Berry,introduced Barrie Owens,Code Enforcement Officer and John
Lampe from the Planning Department who will be assisting in answering some of the
questions. He pointed out that the Task Force decided that there wasn't going to be another
meeting of the Task Force, and the reason they decided that was because there were nine
volunteers on that Task Force and we repeatedly sent letters to them and personally called
each member,five showed up and they addressed issues and when the meeting was over they
discussed having another meeting and inviting those who didn't show up and they were
concerned that they may have to go back to square one and that is when they decided not to
have another meeting. As far as the garage door issue,we are recommending that the garage
door be required to be open,however, that is only if you have a garage door that opens that
way,most people have roll up garage doors. There is a constant concern about accidents,he
requested that Code Enforcement Officer Owens give a report on some recent accidents
related to RV's.
Code Enforcement Officer Owens,indicated that there was a recent incident where there was
a multiple offender that parked his motorhome on De Berry right up against the crosswalk,
a little girl was riding her bike and one of the residents driving down the street did not see
her and did strike her. There was an incident on Main Street on the Riverside County
property line, a fifth wheel parked right up against the street, a car traveling down the street
right along the street line struck the side of the RV and totaled it.
Assistant City Manager Berry,indicated that the fines can be set by Council,those are fines
that staff came up with. We are not to be punitive with fines, we feel that we have shown
that with Code Enforcement. We issue warnings,we work with people. Another issue,the
Council Minutes

cover, it is not required, all we ask is that the cover is securely fastened and that it looks
good. There was discussion regarding camper shells,we are requiring them to be behind the
fence. To a point they are dangerous,they attract trash around them and they can be pushed
or knocked over and quite frankly they don't look nice.
Qi1y Manager Schwab, stated that if a person has filed for a non-operation from the DMV,
then it is considered currently registered and can be stored.
Assistant City Manager Berry, added that you can contact your insurance company and tell
them that it is non-operable and the insurance rates will drop dramatically. When we had the
fires we had people bring their RV's home and live in them. Several people came in and
were issued permits to allow this. We are not here to be punitive we are here to work with
people. Emergency situations are obviously something that we would work with. He
mentioned that the photos were taken in one day. These were not an accumulation of the
worst of the worst. In fact he specifically deleted a couple that were horrendous. There are
a number of RV's and trailers that look horrible. He mentioned that we have a current code
in place that refers to RV's and recreational vehicles and defines them. We don't have to
pass this at all,however,if we don't anything to do with a travel trailer or a fifth wheel will
just not be allowed at all in the front yard and there are a number of travel trailers and fifth
wheels right now. He addressed the issue of parking on the street. In the State of California
you are allowed to park in the street for seventy two hours,we just asked that the trailers or
fifth wheel be attached as a safety issue. If you have family or friends that are visiting with
an RV you have 30 days. Unfortunately it is those people that are continuos violators that
will be targets.
Code Enforcement Officer Ownes, reported that there are several violators in town where
people will take household items,paper, trash, etc. and store it in their truck with a camper
shell on it or even in their RV and sometimes it is visible from other properties. Dirt and
dust accumulates around them. Recently we had one parked on the street they happened to
throw a mattress on it and we received four complaints in one day. We have had others that
have tried to live in the street run an electrical cord across the side-walk over the curb into
the unit itself. Almost always she will go out there and ask them to remove it and they will
be cited and she will work in a community friendly basis come back the next day and it is
back. She has gone out and cited someone for 72 hour violation a week later it is back.
Assistant City Manager Berry, stated that you can park your RV in your driveway as long as
it is on concrete or some type of paver and as long as it is at least 10.5 feet from the edge of
the curb. There is a number of RV's in the community that are within our limits. Storage
space is an issue. There are two storage spaces in Grand Terrace and they are full. The Press
Enterprise recently did an article on Storage Spaces in the Inland Empire, he looked at the
list and there are approximately 10 that are within a five mile radius with an average price
for a twenty foot unit of$32 - $41 twenty-five to thirty feet is $64 and thirty foot space is
Council Minutes
February 26,2004
Page 8
$95.
John Lampe,Planning Department Staff, gave a brief explanation of the 10.5 foot set-back.
Assistant City Manager Berry, gave an explanation of line of sight. He stated that RV's are
a lot larger than a typical SUV. We have a major problem with regular vehicles blocking
sidewalks and the City works with the Sheriff's Department on that issue. Since this process
has begun, the City has not ticketed one person with an RV. We have been waiting until the
Council decides which way we are going to go. With regards to having a grandfather clause,
it was not included because it would be very difficult to track and feel that it would not be
feasible for a community our size with limited resources. He feels that staff has worked very
hard on this involving many people and he feels that they are proposing an ordinance that is
a compromise.
City Attorney John Harper,indicated that RV's are not subj ect to a grandfather clause instead
he suggested that they create some type of variance.
City Manager Schwab, requested clarification for temporary storage for loading and
unloading.
Assistant City Manager Berry, responded that they can have seventy-two hours in front of
your home for loading and unloading, however, if you have a travel trailer it needs to be
connected.
Code Enforcement Officer Owens, indicated that you are allowed forty-eight consecutive
hours to charge a battery. If they park their RV on their property continuously then they have
forever to load and unload it.
City Manager Schwab, confirmed that Mr. Collier owns a fifth wheel and indicated that
under the current law he would not be able to park his unit in his driveway. This proposed
ordinance will make his fifth-wheel legal as long as he can get it within 10.5 feet of the face
of the curb. This ordinance is more lenient and more permissive than the current ordinance
that we have.
Councilmember Larkin, questioned under the current law,how many recreational vehicles
can be parked in the front or side yard.
Code Enforcement Officer Owens, responded that it doesn't define how many.
Councilmember Larkin, questioned if they have to be parked on some type of improved
surface.
Council Minutes
February 26,2004
Page 9
Code Enforcement Officer Owens, responded in the affirmative in the front yard.
Councilmember Larkin, questioned if it needs to be an improved surface in the back yard.
Code Enforcement Officer Owens, responded that it is not clearly defined.
Councilmember Larkin,indicated that the proposed ordinance is more lenient in some ways.
He questioned if there is a limit to the number of vehicles allowed on a property.
Code Enforcement Officer Owens, responded that it is covered under the current code no
City that she is aware of has a limit to the number of vehicles per household.
Councilmember Larkin, questioned if there are some type of zoning requirements as far as
what color houses can be painted.
Community and Economic Development Director Koontz, responded that the Site and
Architectural Review Committee/Planning Commission would review the landscaping and
paint color if someone was planning to build a new home. Historically he has never seen the
planning commission change the house color.
Councilmember Cortes, expressed her concerns with being lenient during emergency and
other circumstances that people may not have control over. She questioned if they could add
a variance clause.
City Attorney Harper, responded that it is not in the current proposed ordinance, however,
it could be added.
Councilmember Larkin, questioned if it would be okay if another type of vehicle were
blocking the garage.
Assistant City Manager Bevy, indicated that it would not be allowed it is a fire hazard.
Councilmember Larkin, expressed his concerns with the fines. He feels that it would be
more appropriate to have a fee of$75 for the safety violations as opposed to a torn RV cover.
Assistant City Manager Berry,indicated that the fees can be changed,it is up to the Council.
City Attorney Harper, stated that the current ordinance has a fine of$100 for any violation
of the code.
Councilmember Larkin, questioned if those visiting family in a RV can stay in the RV.
Council Minutes
February 26,2004
Page 10
Assistant City Manager Berrv,responded in the negative.
Mayor Pro Tem Ferre, she expressed her concern with the fines and questioned if there is
some way that they can be revised.
Assistant City Manager Bem,responded that it is at the discretion of the City Council.
Mayor Pro Tem Ferre, stated that she didn't want to necessarily sit here and say what the
fines should be but perhaps that portion of the ordinance can be re-visited.
City Attorney Harper, stated that if you eliminate this section entirely, you go back to the
general penalty provision of the municipal code and the way we "assess fines" is we file a
criminal complaint and prove the case and the court says that you have to fix it and what the
fine will be.
Councilmember Hilkev, stated that the only thing he sees a conflict with is the 10.5 foot
clearance and the fees. He questioned item in. Why do we care if they are parking their
recreational vehicles on an improved surface.
Mr.Lampe,indicated that the Planning Commission debated this issue. He believes that the
original recommendation was that all of the RV's had to be parked on-an impervious surface
whether they were motorized or non-motorized. The Commission felt that it would be
appropriate to allow for people to park their RV's in the back yard as long as it was parked
on some kind of improved surface.
City Attorney Harper, stated that the NPDES answer would be that vehicles do not always
retain all of their fluids and when they are parked on the bare dirt it can potentially go into
the ground water. Gravel has the potential to absorb some of the fluids.
Councilmember Hilkev, questioned why a cab-over can not be on the side of the house.
Mr. Lampe,indicated that a cab-over can be on the side of the house as long as it is properly
mounted on a truck,however,you can't store it where it can be seen from the street it has to
be screened out of sight.
Councilmember Hilkev,requested clarification of item s.
Assistant City Manager Berry,responded that he believes that they want to only be able to
see two RV's on a large lot and one RV on a small lot.
Councilmember Hilkev,indicated that with regards to the fees,there seems to be four safety
related and two that are cosmetic. He really feels that if it is a safety issue it needs to be
Council Minutes
February 26,2004
Page 11
addressed more quickly and if it is cosmetic it needs to be less expensive. He indicated that
he is supportive of this ordinance that it allows residents to park their nice looking RV's in
their front yard. He feels that an RV is a sign of a successful prosperous community. He
would like to see some changes.
Mayor Garcia, indicated that she is very much in favor of the variance being added to this
process. She thanked all of the residents for coming out, she feels that it has helped in the
process of ensuring that we make this as comprehensive and flexible as possible. She would
like to possibly continue this item to allow staff to deal with some of the concerns of the
Council,however,if Council feels that they can resolve it together tonight then we can move
forward.
Assistant City Manager Berry, requested that the Mayor define variance.
City Attorney Harper, responded that potentially the Planning Commission could consider
to grant a variance to the storage requirements based upon lot size, lot configuration,house
location, or previously constructed improvements,which is discretionary.
Community and Economic Development Director Koontz, indicated that he would like to
do the variances administratively.
City Attorney Harper, stated that he would like to see the variance in the Ordinance as
opposed to amending the zoning code.
Councilmember Larkin, would like the ordinance to allow for a variance and establish a
criteria list with an administrative component and the ability to take it to the Planning
Commission,look at the fine schedule where the safety issues will have a fine of$75 and the
others be changed to $25.
It was the consensus of the Council to direct staff to make the recommended changes made
by Councilmember Larkin.
Councilmember Hilkey,would like staff to remove impervious surface required for parking
in the side or back yard under item in.
City Attorney Harper, stated that removing it may be an environmental issue by NPDES and
the City will be fined.
City Manager Schwab, indicated that the gravel is a compromise.
Councilmember Hilkev, withdrew that recommendation. He clarified that item k was
removed. He referred to item q and indicated that the feels campers should be allowed to be
Council Minutes
February 26,2004
Page 12
stored in the side yard or back yard behind the fence.
There was not a consensus of the council to change item q.
Councilmember Larkin,feels that someone could possibly get a variance if they want to park
their camper shell in their side yard or back yard.
Councilmember Hilkev,referred to item s and doesn't feel we have to tell people where to
place their RV's if they own a big lot, he feels they should be able to place them anywhere
they want.
It was the consensus of the Council that item s read as follows:
No more than one recreational vehicle shall be parked in the front yard or side yard for any
lot or parcel less than 20,000 square feet in size. For parcels 20,000 square feet or larger,two
recreational vehicles may be parked in the front yard or side yard, additional recreational
vehicles may be parked in the rear yard, excluding the side yard.
Councilmember Hilkev, indicted that he would like to eliminate Section 5B.
Mr. Lampe, explained why that section was included.

Staff Report
MEETING DATE: March 11, 2004
SUBJECT: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) PROGRAM
YEAR 2004-05
FUNDING AUTHORIZATION REQUIRED:
BACKGROUND:
The City of Grand Terrace is under contract with County of San Bernardino Department of Economic and
Community Development(ECD)who is responsible for the review and compliance of programs
conducted within Grand Terrace. This includes not only the conducting of the grant process, but also the
administration of project implementation and compliance.
The County has a process which follows the guidelines of HUD in requiring public hearings and input into
the grant allocation process for these funds. For Grand Terrace, this includes a public hearing, submittal
of recommended projects to ECD who qualifies for the eligible programs, then returns those to the City
for prioritization and funding. Additionally, during the grant process, outside agencies may submit
projects directly to the County, however, the final determination of the spending of the City allocation is
with the purview of the City Council.
The City has been notified by the County to expect a total of$67,000 for FY 2004-05, this is a 2%
decrease over last year. This decrease is due to a decreased Congressional appropriation for the CDBG
program nationally, coupled with an increased number of entitlement jurisdictions qualifying to share in
the national CDBG program.
There is a 15% funding limit for public service activities. Accordingly, the maximum CDBG funding
total that the City may allocate to its priority public service project is $10,050. This is 15% of the
$67,000 allocation available to the City. Attached is a list of eligible CDBG project proposals identifying
benefits to the City and a copy of each project proposal
DISCUSSION
The County has completed its application process and submitted a listing of eligible projects which have
requested funding from the Grand Terrace Allocation. The City Council is now responsible for
determining funding and sending the information to the County for adoption.
Staff is recommending funding as follows:
1. San Bernardino County Library, continuation of Literacy Education at the Grand Terrace Library
Branch. Total request is for$10,000, staff recommends full funding for$10,000.
COUNCIL AGENDA of®i��
2. Phase I Environmental Study at 21750 Main Street. The funds would be used for financing
of environ mental studies, demolition of blighted buildings, and cleanup of contaminated soil
on a former plating company site. This site poses a potential health risk to students and
faculty of the proposed new public high school as well as residential neighborhoods
surrounding the site. Staff recommends funding of$57,000 out of the $120,000 requested.
At the February 12, 2004 council meeting, council approved$63,000 in unprogrammed
funding to be used for this project. The total amount to be funded will be $120,000.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council:
1. Conduct a Public Hearing on the recommended allocation of CDBG Funds for the 2004-05
Program Year: and
2. Authorize Staff to submit the Funding List to the County.of San Bernardino Department of
Economic and Community Development.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The action will authorize the expenditure of 2004-05 CDBG Funds and potentially the Unprogrammed
Funds on account with the County of San Bernardino.

not considered an improved surface.
-Must not be parked in the public right of way.
All non-motorized travel trailers (including 5th wheels) and utilities trailers must be in
working condition, currently registered,parked behind a screened 6 ft. fence. Such
vehicles are prohibited from being stored in the front yards of any residential property
(per zoning code 18.73.200).
Any motorized vehicle or non motorized vehicle (travel trailer or utility trailer--attached
or detached) is allowed to be parked on city streets for a maximum of 72 consecutive
hours before it has to be moved.
1 COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO.I �
Review of Public Meetings on the RV/Utility Trailer Ordinance:
-At the September 26, 2002 council meeting,the City Council reviewed the Grand
Terrace Municipal Code concerning Motorized and Non Motorized Recreational
Vehicles, Boats, and Trailers. Council action directed staff to convene a Community RV
Task Force meeting and work together to amend the ordinance.
-The RV Task Force meeting was held December 4, 2002 with five of the nine volunteer
members present. Three task force members owned RVs and two did not. The task force
reviewed the current ordinance and made several recommendations for council to review.
-At the January 23, 2003 City Council Meeting, Council instructed staff to modify the
Grand Terrace Municipal Code to include the recommendations from the Community RV
Task Force.
At the September 4, 2003 Planning Commission Meeting, the proposed RV/Utility
Trailer Parking Ordinance was brought before the commission. Staff requested that the
Planning Commission review this ordinance in a public workshop, accept public input,
and provide direction to Staff.
-At the November 20, 2003 Planning Commission workshop, the Planning Commission
reviewed the Grand Terrace Municipal Code concerning Motorized and Non Motorized
Recreational Vehicles, Boats, and Trailers along with the recommendations from Staff
for changes or amendments. The Planning Commission suggested the several items be
reviewed/considered by Staff and recommendations presented at a Public Hearing
scheduled for January 15, 2004.
-At the January 15, 2004 Planning Commission public hearing, the Planning Commission
reviewed the Grand Terrace Municipal Code concerning Motorized and Non Motorized
Recreational Vehicles, Boats, and Trailers. The Planning Commission approved the
proposed RV Ordinance and recommended its approval to the city council.
-At the February 26, 2004 City Council Meeting, Council opened the public hearing,
heard the staff report, received public testimony and instructed staff to make the
following changes to the proposed RV/Utility Trailer Ordinance:
10.5 ft. Set back (item "f')
Council requested a variance procedure to allow residents to apply for a parking variance.
This variance process is available to all RV/Utility Trailer owners in the proposed
ordinance under item "w" and Section 6.
2
3-foot set back (item"k")
Staff deleted item"k" and any reference to a required 3-foot set back in the interior side
and/or rear property line.
Cab-over camper/shell storage in the side-yard (item"p")
The current ordinance prohibits the storage of camper shells in the front or side-yard
other than on a licensed pick-up truck. Staff changed the ordinance to allow un-mounted
camper shells in the side yard and rear yard as long as they are screened in-conformance
with Section 18.73.200 of the Municipal Code.
r
The number of RV/Utility Trailers allowed on the parcel (item "r")
Lots under 2 0,000 sq.ft.
Council and staff agreed that only one RV/Utility Trailer be allowed to be parked in the
front of lots under 20,000 sq. ft. Council recommended language changes that gave
property owners the ability to park an unlimited number of RV/Utility Trailers in the side
or rear of the property. Staff recommends that only one additional RV/Utility Trailer be
allowed to park in the rear or side yard with lots under 20,000 sq.ft.
Lots over 20,000 sq-ft
Council and staff agreed that only two RV/Utility Trailer be allowed to be parked in the
front of lots over 20,000 sq. ft. Council recommended language changes that gave
property owners the ability to park an unlimited number of RV/Utility Trailers in the side
or rear of the property. Staff recommends that only two additional RV/Utility Trailers be
allowed to park in the rear or side yard with lots over 20,000 sq.ft.
Allowance for Variance (item"w")
The City Council at the February 26, 2004 requested staff to draft a variance in the
RV/Utility Trailer Ordinance. See item "w" and Section 6 for description and fees.
Fines
Council requested that fines related to safety issues be greater than non-safety issues.
Staff has changed the following fines:
Parking over the 10.5 ft setback from $25 to $75
Parking within 50 feet of a crosswalk from $25 to $75
Parking within 50 feet of any intersection from $25 to $75
Accumulation of dirt, debris, litter under
3
and around the RV/Utility Trailer from $75 to $25
Torn RV/Utility Trailer cover including
Any and all tarps or other materials and
improper use of articles to secure tarp (not
limited to but including rocks, bricks, and other
heavy objects

Use of an RV/Utility Trailer for storage
Purposes, from $75 to $25
Blocking or overhanging the sidewalk
within the public right-of-way from $25 to $75
Blocking a door with
an RV/Utility Trailer from$25 to $75
DISCUSSION
The proposed updated ordinance will allow non-motorized Recreational Vehicles/Utility
Trailers many of the same privileges as a motorized RV. It addresses line of sight issues
and visual/operational conditions of the vehicles/trailers. Grand Terrace residents are
currently required to screen their non-motorized RVs and utility trailers from public
view. The proposed ordinance will allow residents to park/store their RV/Utility Trailers
on their property without screening from public view as directed by City Council.
The administrative variance will allow flexibility on a case-by-case basis where the
RV/Utility Trailer owner has a challenge with the proposed ordinance.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff is requesting that the City Council review the proposed RV/Utility Trailer Parking
Ordinance, accept public input, then approve and adopt the ordinance.
