Santa Cruz Municipal Code §10.40.120 prohibits parking any oversized vehicle on a public street, alley, or city parking lot between midnight and 5:00 a.m. unless a city manager permit allows it.
The prohibition covers RVs, motorhomes, large trailers, and similar oversized vehicles. Utility connections (extension cords, hoses) running from property to vehicles are barred. Surrounding areas must be kept free of litter, gray/black water, and debris. Resident and out-of-town visitor permits are available through the city manager's office. Hotels may also receive permits for guest oversized vehicles. Unattached trailers are categorically banned from city streets and alleys unless being loaded/unloaded.
Open fires near oversized vehicles are misdemeanors. Unsanitary surrounding-area violations are misdemeanors subject to towing under CVC §22651(h)(1).
