Overnight RV parking ban inches ahead
By Jessica A. York
jyork [at] santacruzsentinel.com
SANTACRUZ; The city’s new large vehicle overnight parking ban all but passed its latest hurdle on the road toward implementation this week.
After hearing comments from three speakers and written correspondence from a handful of people Wednesday, city Zoning Administrator Samantha Haschert approved a coastal and design permit on what has otherwise been a contentious public debate. This week’s approval was one of several steps needed before city officials are able to enforce the new limited parking hours and to implement a pending new safeparking program citywide.
The permit approval retroactively was delayed a week, however, after a community member pointed out that the city had published an incorrect link to the online meeting in one location. The discussion, along with other agenda items from the meeting, will undergo a second public hearing during a special meeting Wednesday.
Members of the public are able to appeal the city permit approval directly to the California
Coastal Commission, a step that was taken after the Santa Cruz City Council in 2015 approved a previous iteration of the recreational vehicle ban.
In August 2016, the Coastal Commission opted not to throw out the appeal, filed at the time by activist Robert Norse. The commission sided with Norse’s concerns that the parking ban targeted homeless people and restricted coastal access, with members calling for the city to provide more complete plans for alternative parking options. Instead, the nullified ordinance was kept on the books, unenforceable, until the recent council vote to revamp the law. Norse, threatening to appeal the permits’ approval during Wednesday’s meeting, once again said he believed the ordinance did not meet the requirements of the local coastal development plan.
According to Haschert, the Coastal Commission’s 10-day appeal period opens once the agency receives a final permit approval from the city. First, the city will need to hold its next meeting, approve the permit and then wait another 10 days — to Jan. 24, a period during which a community member may appeal the permit to the city Planning Commission or City Council, both bodies that already green-lighted the ordinance.
RN Note: I understand it was Linda Hatcher who acted as Hearing officer.
