INFORMATIONAL REPORT ON THE COMMUNITY SAFETY AND WELFARE COMMITTEE’S RECOMMENDATION REGARDING 72-HOUR PARKING REGULATIONS, AND CONSIDERATION OF FURTHER ACTION ..body
Summary:
The Community Safety and Welfare Committee (CSWC) has formulated a recommendation for consideration by the City Council in relation to the City’s existing 72-hour parking restriction on public streets. The issue was initially raised by a resident in attendance at the City Council meeting on October 21, 2025. The primary concern raised by the resident was the potential ability to circumvent the long-term parking of vehicles on public streets by minimally moving vehicles.
The City Council directed the matter to the CSWC for further review and recommendation.
Following review, the CSWC considered the issue at two committee meetings and ultimately recommended that the City Council not pursue amendments to the existing 72-hour parking regulations. Staff has placed the item on the City Council meeting agenda to consider the CSWC’s recommendation and determine whether to maintain the current regulations or direct staff to take additional action, which could include initiating potential Ordinance amendments.
Background:
San Clemente Municipal Code Section 10.28.050 prohibits the use of public streets for the storage of vehicles and establishes a maximum parking duration of 72 consecutive hours and reads as follows:
“No person who owns or has possession, custody, or control of any vehicle shall park such vehicle upon any street or alley for more than a consecutive period of seventy-two (72) hours.”
On October 21, 2025, during the Oral Communications portion of the City Council meeting, a member of the public raised concerns regarding enforcement of this provision, specifically noting that vehicles may remain in substantially the same location for extended periods by being moved only minimally, thereby resetting the 72-hour clock without meaningfully changing their location.
In response, the City Council directed staff to refer the matter to the CSWC for evaluation and recommendations.
The CSWC first considered the item on December 16, 2025, at which time the CSWC directed its Vehicle and E-Bike Safety Programs Subcommittee to further evaluate the issue. The item returned to the full CSWC on February 24, 2026, where the CSWC discussed the existing 1 910 Calle Negocio

regulations, enforcement considerations, and potential alternatives. Following the discussion, the CSWC voted to recommend that the City Council not pursue amendments to the current 72-hour parking restriction. During deliberations, the CSWC also noted that improvements to street sweeping signage and related parking management tools may help address some of the concerns raised by the public, particularly regarding long-term vehicle storage on public streets.
Subsequently, at the March 3, 2026, City Council meeting, the City Council requested that this item be brought forward for formal consideration.
Discussion:
The core issue raised through public comment and reviewed by the CSWC relates to whether the City’s existing 72-hour parking restriction adequately addresses long-term vehicle storage on public streets, and whether additional requirements, such as requiring a vehicle to be moved a minimum distance, should be considered.
Existing Regulatory Framework
The current regulations establish a time-based limitation but do not define what constitutes sufficient “movement” of a vehicle to reset the 72-hour period. As a result, enforcement is based on whether a vehicle has remained in the same location for more than 72 consecutive hours, typically verified through marking a vehicle’s location (chalking the ground around tires) and observation.
Potential Amendment Concepts
One concept discussed by the public and considered by the CSWC is to require that, after 72 hours, a vehicle must be moved a minimum distance (e.g., 100 feet or one-eighth mile) to be considered compliant.
While this concept is intended to prevent circumvention of the regulations, it presents several practical and potential legal challenges:
Enforcement Limitations:
Determining whether a vehicle has been moved a specified distance is difficult to verify in the field. Law enforcement personnel would have limited tools to measure or confirm compliance. Technological Constraints:
Modern vehicle odometers are electronic and not readily accessible or verifiable by enforcement personnel, making it impractical to rely on mileage-based standards. Ambiguity in Application:
It is unclear how such a requirement would apply in situations where a vehicle is moved offstreet (e.g., onto private property) or relocated, with or without driving it the requisite distance, within close proximity but outside the originally marked location. Additionally, it would be unclear when the vehicle would be allowed to return to the same location (immediately after moving, an hour, the next day).
Administrative Complexity:
2 Meeting Date: April 21, 2026 Agenda Item: 10F.
CITY OF SAN CLEMENTE
Introducing a distance-based requirement could increase the complexity of enforcement and may result in inconsistent application or disputes regarding compliance. Legal Defensibility:
Any amendment would need to be carefully crafted to ensure it is clear, objective, and enforceable, and does not create ambiguity that could undermine citations or enforcement actions.
CSWC Recommendation
After considering these factors, the CSWC determined that the current ordinance remains appropriate and enforceable, and that the challenges associated with implementing a distancebased requirement outweigh the potential benefits. Accordingly, the CSWC recommends that no changes be made at this time.
Considerations Identified by Staff:
In considering whether to pursue amendments to the 72-hour parking regulations, the City Council may wish to evaluate the effectiveness of the existing regulatory framework, which provides a clear, time-based standard that is relatively straightforward to enforce. While the current regulations may not eliminate all instances of long-term parking, it establishes a legally defensible and administratively workable approach to addressing the use of public streets for vehicle storage, especially for inoperable or abandoned vehicles.
Any potential amendments should prioritize clarity and enforceability. Concepts such as requiring a vehicle to be moved a minimum distance may present practical challenges in the field, including difficulty in verifying compliance and potential ambiguity in how such standards would be applied.
Standards that are difficult to measure or interpret may reduce overall enforcement effectiveness and increase the likelihood of disputes.
The Council may also wish to consider the underlying policy objective of balancing the prevention of long-term vehicle storage on public streets with the allowance of reasonable short-term parking for residents and visitors. In this context, it is important to evaluate whether proposed changes would meaningfully advance that objective or introduce additional complexity without a corresponding benefit.
In addition to regulatory changes, alternative approaches such as enhanced signage, targeted enforcement (street sweeping, storm drainage), or public education may help address some of the concerns raised by the public without necessitating amendments to the Municipal Code.
Finally, the issue reflects broader community expectations regarding neighborhood parking availability and the use of public right-of-way, and any changes should be considered within that broader context to ensure a balanced and practical outcome. If the City Council chooses to strengthen the 72-hour parking regulations, some potential strategies could include:
Installation of street sweeping signs with posted times for sweeping activities and strict enforcement of the parking restrictions for street sweeping. Establish a minimum distance a vehicle must be moved in a 72-hour period and provide the necessary equipment (GPS) to verify vehicular movement. 3 Meeting Date: April 21, 2026 Agenda Item: 10F.

Council Options:
Receive and file the CSWC recommendation and direct staff to maintain the current 72-hour parking regulations without modification.
Direct staff to initiate an amendment to modify the 72-hour parking regulations, with specific direction regarding the nature and scope of potential changes. Continue the item and provide additional direction to staff or the CSWC for further analysis.
Environmental Review/Analysis:
This item involves policy direction and does not constitute a “project” under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5), as it involves organizational or administrative activities that will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable physical change in the environment.
Fiscal Impact:
None associated with the receipt of the CSWC recommendation. Any future ordinance amendments or changes to enforcement practices are likely to result in staff time and administrative costs, which would be evaluated if directed by the City Council.
