Full Breakdown
Chapter 10.64, Oversize Vehicle Parking, targets overnight street storage of recreational vehicles rather than ordinary passenger cars. Section 10.64.010 defines an 'oversize vehicle' as any vehicle, motorized or not, that exceeds 25 feet in length, seven feet in width, or seven feet in height, expressly naming buses, truck tractors, semitrailers, motor trucks, trailers, campers, camp trailers, house cars and trailer coaches. Section 10.64.030 sets the overnight limit: it is unlawful to park or store any recreational vehicle, trailer, camp trailer, trailer coach, camper or boat on a public street, highway or alley for longer than one hour between 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. on any day.
Section 10.64.040 extends liability to the vehicle's owner, making it separately unlawful for an owner to allow the same vehicle to be parked or stored on a public street during that overnight window beyond the one-hour limit, so both the driver at the time and the registered owner can be cited. The chapter works alongside the citywide 72-hour rule in § 10.44.130, which bars any vehicle from sitting on a public street without moving at least two-tenths of a mile for more than 72 consecutive hours regardless of time of day; a vehicle that both sits overnight past 6:00 a.m. and fails to move for 72 hours can be cited and towed under Vehicle Code § 22651 as referenced in § 10.44.130(B). Section 10.64.050 sets the penalty for the overnight rule itself.
Violations & Fines
A violation of the 2:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. overnight limit is an infraction under § 10.64.050, punishable by a fine set by the county's uniform countywide bail schedule rather than a fixed municipal dollar amount. Both the person who parked the vehicle and, separately, its registered owner who allowed the overnight parking can each be cited under §§ 10.64.030 and 10.64.040.
