Burbank, Calif., on-street parking

Burbank City Council directed the Traffic and Transpiration Committee to continue to study the on-street parking issue and make recommendations to council within six months.

The RV parking issue is on the Burbank City Council agenda for Dec. 5.

According to Margarita Campos, city clerk,  the council will consider placing an advisory measure on the city's April 2007 election ballot.

The staff report and ordinance will be prepared by the City Attorney.

Nov. 11, 2006 — update

Public talks about whether to implement on-street parking restrictions for RVs continued at the Nov. 9. Traffic and Transpiration Committee meeting.

The committee also held public meetings on this issue in May and July.

Residents have complained that large RVs are unsightly in residential neighborhoods and, when parked near intersections, create safety hazards for drivers.

Existing code permits RVs to park in residential zones for 72 hours. The changes under discussion include prohibiting parking between 2 and 6 a.m. unless the owner has a 24-hour permit.

The Burbank Traffic and Transportation Committee met May 11 to discuss a proposal that — if enacted as proposed — would restrict the time RVs are allowed to park on city streets.

Existing code allows RVs to park on residential-zoned streets for 72 hours.

The new regulations would ban parking between 2 and 6 a.m. unless the RV owner obtains a 24-hour permit. The permit would prevent extended parking and curtail owners from moving their RVs a short distance every 72 hours.

The Traffic and Transportation Committee, a legally constituted advisory committee to Burbank City Council, will welcome public comments at its July 13 meeting.

City Council will have final say on the matter.
