4,Comprehensive Fee Schedules,Fines and Taxes,by Adding a New Chapter 4.105,
Recreational Vehicle Parking and Storage Fines
Assistant Citv Manager Berrv, 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 ordinance. 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 Fairburn 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 if parked
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 of the 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 Dovle. 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.
Cram Stottlemver, 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.
Rav 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 Hilkev,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.
CitvAttornevHarper,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 every day
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.
Citv Attornev Hamer,responded in the affirmative.
Assistant CitvManaRer Berrv,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 Citv Manager Berrv.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

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.
City 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 Citv Manager Berrv, 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 Citv Manager Berrv,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

$95.
John LamDe.Planning Department Staff,gave a brief explanation of the 10.5 foot set-back.
Assistant Citv 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 Attornev John Hamer.indicated that RV's are not subject to a grandfather clause instead
he suggested that they create some type of variance.
Citv Manager Schwab, requested clarification for temporary storage for loading and
unloading.
Assistant Citv Manager Berm 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.
Citv 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.
Communitv 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 Attornev Hamer.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 Citv Manager Berrv, 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 Citv Manaaer Berrv.indicated that the fees can be changed,it is up to the Council.
Citv Attorney Hamer. 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 Citv Manager Berrv,responded in the negative.
Mavor Pro Tem Ferr6, she expressed her concern with the fines and questioned if there is
some way that they can be revised.
Assistant Citv Manager Berrv, responded that it is at the discretion of the City Council.
Mavor Pro Tem Ferr6, 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.
Citv Attornev Hamer, 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.
Citv Attornev Hamer, 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 Citv Manager Berrv,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.
Mavor 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 Citv Manager Berrv, requested that the Mayor define variance.
Citv Attornev Hamer,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.
Communitv and Economic Development Director Koontz, indicated that he would like to
do the variances administratively.
Citv Attornev Hamer, 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 Hilkev,would like staff to remove impervious surface required for parking
in the side or back yard under item in.
City Attornev Hamer,stated that removing it may be an environmental issue by NPDES and
the City will be fined.
Citv 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

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.
