Subject: Yes on OVO!
Date: Monday, October 25, 2021 2:35:37 PM
I’m writing to encourage council to adopt this proposed vehicle ordinance. I have been going by the various impacted areas—Delaware, a natural bridges, mission street extension, olive, Harvey west—for a couple of years and the “campers” have not only grown in numbers but become more emboldened with the lack of enforcement. The blight has grown, the trash has grown etc etc despite being near a senior park, highly rated school, an vulnerable habitats.

However, like many Santa Cruz city ordinances regarding homeless folks with no means, they don’t get enforced effectively—it’s in the city’s DNA. I own property in Las Vegas and I received a code enforcement complaint about four homeless folks that set up a large encampment. Just this morning, I arranged a hauling crew and the Community Oriented Police (COP) division and they were there within 30 minutes and cleared everyone out so my crew could clean (see pics).

I get it, we don’t don’t work this way. So why not charge the “campers” a fee for parking on the streets so they pay the costs they incur for the community? Three hundred per month to park in limited areas for three days max and they rotate locations ? Current reg, insurance required.

We as a city don’t have the backbone to enforce rules so let’s charge for the “service” provided.

Just a thought…but I’d rather see them park elsewhere or not at all.

Dear City Council,
I'm a resident of the city of Santa Cruz and I support the Oversized Vehicle Ordinance currently under consideration. Specifically, I would like to see more strict permitting for temporary parking of recreational vehicles on city streets and in public spaces, as well as provisions for the police to effectively enforce this ordinance. I also support continuing and/or expanding safe parking programs.

I am adding my voice to those deeply concerned about the number of motor homes and other large vehicles used as homes that occupy some of our city streets, causing a wide range of problems.

Please vote yes on the proposed Oversized Vehicle Ordinance currently under consideration by the Council and city staff. While it may not be ideal, the introduction of more strict permitting for temporary parking of such vehicles on city streets and public spaces, along with effective SCPD enforcement provisions, appears to be a fair and enforceable shot at returning these streets to the community.

As I walk my dog daily all over the neighborhood I see more and more parked vehicles that are obviously someone’s home.

Subject: Oversized Vehicles Ordinance
To All City Council Members,
Greetings, I am the proud owner of RV Service Center of Santa Cruz, 2525 Mission Street. The shop was opened in 1976, and I purchased the business May 2002. All cities are faced with this huge undertaking to manage the roaming population living in RV and tents. Part of the equation is being addressed via creating safe places for them to set up their RV with facilities. Thanks you. The Second step is to ban overnight stays on public roads in non‐RV approved areas.

First of all it is a fire hazard. If a RV resident has a Propane leak it can be ignited by a stove piolet or lighting a lighter. This RV will blow up and cause a fire as well as potentially harming anyone in the surrounding area. Almost all of the vehicles have non operating Propane detectors. So if one is to be incapacitated while being under the influence or sleeping they are POTIENYTIAL bomb ready to go off.

In front of my business it is designated no overnight parking. Despite this, numerous RV’s are here for days – weeks – months before being removed. A couple RV owners have portable propane tanks outside for use when their onboard Propane runs out. The tanks are placed on the roadside of the RV’s. If a car hits one of these BBQ tanks the block can blow up. Huge hazard.

There has been raw sewage dumped on the ground and trash piled everywhere. As a result many customers are reluctant to leave their RV’s and Trailers for repair.

In the past 2 months the RV’s and Trailers have had propane tanks and batteries and whatever is not bolted down stolen. It has cost me aprox. $3000 to replace stolen property. In addition, we now have to remove all propane tanks and batteries upon checking in for service. Loosing 30 to 45 minutes per unit to keep them safe.

We have a fence around the property and night security checks the lot periodically. Despite this, they cut holes in the fence and get in to steel property. The tents parked on the highway side have our propane tanks sitting outside their tents for heaters. In addition, they come onto the property and steal awning canvasses to cover their tents to prevent leaking.

We need your help to pass this ordinance so we can get back to focusing on our customers. We have a huge portfolio of companies we provide service.

Oversized Vehicles are only one of the many housing policy matters that we currently face.

They and their accompanying environmental damage, discarded waste, and increased crime in our neighborhoods now seem to have overcome our ability to manage their presence on our streets. I urge you to approve the Oversized Vehicle Ordinance currently under consideration by the Council and city staff.

In particular, I would like to see the elimination of permitting for temporary parking of Recreational Vehicles for habitation on city streets and in public spaces, except as may be provided off‐street in a closely‐regulated temporary parking program.

In addition, the Police Department needs to be given effective enforcement tools for carrying out the adopted ordinance. Thanks.

Dear Santa Cruz city council and mayor, the oversize vehicles/RVs that are parked on the city streets especially in the natural Bridges area on Delaware near the homeless Garden and Swanton Boulevard are creating a well documented safety and environmental hazard for the community and the city. I do not believe that it is humane to allow folks who need help whether it be medical or mental health services to live in these types of conditions. Our neighborhoods in these areas have become a haven for these RVs and the problem created is only growing as enforcement of existing laws and ordinances does not occur. Please forgive me for saying this is classic enabling of inappropriate behavior. Not a help to those folks in my opinion. One need simply to ride their bicycle or walk adjacent to these multiple vehicles to witness firsthand the impact they are having relative to outside propane tanks, sewage leaking or being actively dumped with the ensuing hazards and odors. It’s time for our community to pull together in a compassionate way that addresses these problems and not politicize and virtue signal are way out of it. Many years ago there were transiency laws and a person without visible means of support a.k.a. job or a residence could be held or detained for up to 30 days. During that period of time these folks obtain the medical treatment and social services that they needed. Many did not return to detention after getting the help. Although it may sound like it was forced upon them sometimes people are so unwell but they need more help than they’re ready to accept or even realize that they need. I understand the legality issues in this, yet we cannot allow sewage being dumped, propane tanks, gasoline powered generators adjacent to highly flammable parks and drug affected behavior, mental illness behavior on our streets it’s just unsafe for our population at large. And again I believe it is really not compassionate or helping these people. Thank you for reading my email. Respectfully Catherine Brennan Sent from my iPhone

There is absolutely no reason that camping (in vehicles or otherwise) should be permitted on city streets.

Dear Council, The proposed Oversized Vehicles Ordinance (OVO) is unresearched, counterproductive, and unacceptable. At the September 21, 2021 council meeting, we learned that the goal of OVO is to give police enhanced tools to “move vehicles along”. According to the City Attorney, enforcing current environmental and nuisance laws is ineffectual. He said, “just writing a citation, even if it’s a misdemeanor, even if you could arrest someone and take them into custody, the way the court process works these days, they would be right back out on the street within an hour and go back to a parked RV and continue to engage in the conduct we’re trying to address”. It seems that instead of acknowledging that ticketing, towing, and writing misdemeanors are not an effective way of managing homelessness (as supported by decades of research), the city will double down and create a new tool to incarcerate people who cannot afford to comply with the OVO, all while not significantly providing resources that would help people to avoid engaging in so‐called “nuisance behaviors”. Many of these “nuisance behaviors” are acts of survival by our marginalized neighbors who have been abandoned by the city. The repeated reference to the need to address health and safety concerns, without acknowledging that the health and safety of people sleeping in vehicles for survival is severely impacted by removing their shelter is disgusting and clearly in opposition with Health In All Policies. The proposed solution, as outlined by Mills, is that OVO will allow the city to cite misdemeanor infractions, take an individual into custody, have the city attorney prosecute the individual, levy fines on a person living in poverty, and then tow their vehicle when they are unable to comply. Additionally, Andy Mills disclosed that towing is incredibly resource intensive and expensive and that the city has had to create a brand new tow‐yard in order to accommodate the RVs and vehicles seized during “Operation Westside Story”. Even more money and resources will be spent fighting lawsuits that challenge the constitutionality of OVO and appealing to the coastal commission, who called the last version of ordinance “onerous,” “drastic” and “draconian” I am outraged that city resources will be used to create more unsheltered homelessness and deepen cycles of poverty. Those very same city resources should be used for productive solutions that use city property for safe sleeping programs, help vehicles get registered, provide free sanitary methods for grey water disposal, and provide more refuse services (all services that would be of benefit to all community members). The bottom line is people have nowhere else to go. It is not enough to include vague mention of safe sleeping programs while prioritizing criminalization of our most vulnerable neighbors. The Affiliated Faith Community (AFC) has been operating its SafeSpaces Parking Program for years and it is currently the ONLY resource being offered when police force people to move their vehicles under threat of ticketing and misdemeanors. They are required by law to provide a safe place to sleep when they displace someone from their survival shelter; however, as program director, Reverend Joseph Jacobs, shared at the city council meeting a month ago: Despite this reliance on referral to AFC (who operates 41 overnight parking spaces), the city has *never* funded their services and, recently, even refused to financially support expansion. Instead, these programs have been mentioned only as an afterthought, despite being proven to provide stability and bolster the ability to transition to housing, in addition to offering a more dignified survival option to being unsheltered. The city continues to be disingenuous about their support of existing programs and there are simply not enough alternative shelters and housing available. We need action that prioritizes listening to and coordinating with experts: our houseless community, community

Subject: Is Cruelty the Point? In opposition to the Oversize Vehicle Ordinance Dear Council Members,
I am writing to oppose the current version of the Oversized Vehicle Ordinance.

As written, the ordinance will simply put more people on the streets just as severe weather is here.

I support the establishment of additional capacity for safe parking programs within the city, and programs to help people repair and register their vehicles and provide vouchers for sewage dumping. These programs will help improve the quality of life for everyone in our community.

In contrast, the “enforcement first” approach in this ordinance will cause needless suffering, further stress homeless services, and will further erode stability for area residents who have borne the brunt of the ongoing multiple crises: insane rent burdens, global pandemic, and CZU Complex fires.

The punitive approach in this ordinance may fool some people into thinking that you are “doing something” to address the issue, but it will only make things worse. Stand up for what is right, demand real solutions, and reject this ordinance.

I work in the area of Natural Bridges Dr. and walk on personal time to the State Park.

Subject: Do not allow RV parking in our coastal community Hello,
I support your efforts to ban overnight parking in our coastal community. As a marine scientist, it is painful to observe the abuse and neglect of our coastal treasures in this community. Santa Cruz is blessed with incredible coastal and marine biodiversity which is being actively degraded by stormwater pollution, human waste, plastic pollution and hazardous materials disposal from RV and large vehicles who live on our streets.

We should protect our coastal watersheds as they are critical to climate change resilience and adaptation in the near term. Santa Cruz professes to care about its environment, and yet current policies prioritize ineffective strategies to address homelessness with little regard to wildlife and social well being. Protecting our coastal community while finding solutions to our surging homeless issue is not mutually exclusive, but it does mean identifying critical areas and habitats, such as our rivers, low lying areas, and coastal zone which demand immediate attention and protection. Please I urge you to put neighborhood, community and environmental well being at the top of your list when deciding among solutions.

Subject: I support the Oversized Vehicle Ordinance
Council Members,
I am concerned about the growing number of Oversized Vehicles and the accompanying environmental damage, discarded waste on our streets, and the increased crime in our neighborhoods and businesses.

I support your efforts on the Oversized Vehicle Ordinance currently under consideration by the Council and city staff.

Sincerely,
Carol Shulman-Mora

Subject: In favor of the Oversized Vehicle Ordinance
Importance: High
Dear Mayor Meyers and City Council,
As a person that has been involved in advocating in neighborhoods, I decided to have a walk around the streets where there have been concentrated parking problems on the Westside. I thought it would be a good idea to check‐in with as many businesses as possible. Boy, did I get an earful of all the issues that these businesses have been dealing with for years because of the transient population living in these vehicles parking and the camping, disrupting their businesses. I heard of a nude prostitute getting in cars over and over, losses from their properties including most recently propane tanks and auto batteries, the accumulation of trash and furniture left on the sidewalks and roads, the sewage leakage, the arguments and people yelling, trespassing using water and electricity, trespassing to search garbage containers and contaminating their recycle containers, some fear for their own personal safety, observations of drug use and generally the unruliness and not following laws. What they have been subject to has been unacceptable. It was 6 hours of time well spent on Mission St, Natural Bridges, Delaware Ave, Ingalls St and McPherson St.

They also pointed out and I agree there is a small group that keep moving their vehicles, clean up and they don’t have problems with.

I believe and hope that this Oversized Vehicle Ordinance can be the beginning of some assemblance of order. Not only helping the businesses but those who are living on the streets, to give them a better chance at bettering their lives and accountability to our community. Please pass this first reading of this ordinance.

Date: Tuesday, January 4, 2022 10:43:46 AM
To the Zoning Administrator
Re: Item #2 on the January 5, 2022 Agenda
HUFF (Homeless United for Friendship & Freedom) opposes the staff’s recommendation supporting approval of Coastal Development and Design Permits for the City Council’s Regulation of oversize vehicles and “safe parking” program.

It fails to identify or provide for resources that would abate or mitigate even the alleged impacts outlined as justifying the law such as dump stations and actual real-time parking facilities.

Its description of “concerns” amount to a “heckler’s veto” that moves to criminalize all vehicles over 20’ without evidence of criminality or even problems. The “impacts” described are an inevitable part of the growing housing and shelter crisis where the “cure” of criminalizing vehicular presence to discourage low-income “homes on wheels” is worse than the disease.

It limits public access unnecessarily to the Coastal Zone generally and not just for the low-income.

It discriminates against poor people (and indeed anyone) who live in or drive RV's by denying them coastal access.

It puts a particular burden on those whose only affordable housing is a vehicle by making it illegal to park them at night.

It discriminates against homeless people and those who own or rent property in Santa Cruz by denying them a permit process.

31.784 1.703
It was done with no determination of its impact on those living in their vehicles in the City and threatens their health and safety.

It is especially cruel and abusive considering the acknowledged health and shelter crisis.

The Safe Parking spaces at night have not been set up as described in spite of the availability of massive amounts of funding.

It prejudices the right to travel, by eliminating the right to park an RV in Santa Cruz for those visiting.

It was passed without meaningful police documentation of the alleged problems justifying the unusual exclusionary policy. Actual citations and convictions are different from “complaints” which often involve aesthetic and property-value considerations ignoring more basic human rights and needs.

It is being done without a procedure for consulting the neighborhoods involved as is the accepted practice for requiring permits to park in other cities (as well as in Santa Cruz for vehicles generally).

Highly limited public input at City Council involving one minute presentations made the public process inadequate.

It lacks any meaningful input from service organizations, homeless advocates, and unhoused people themselves,
The proposal does not address or rectify the concerns of the 2016 full Coastal Commission decision finding numerous problems with the staff report (even the Commission’s own staff report) when it went for a full hearing in August 2016.

In addition given the infirmities in the proposed law (even as amended to limit the time of the parking bans), it will--when rejected by the Coastal Commission--put an undue burden on those whose homes and

31.785 1.704
property is in the Coastal zone if the city chooses to authorize enforcement of the non-Coastal areas of the City as may be likely.

Please send this law back to the appropriate Commission or City Council committee with a refusal to agree that it accords with the Local Coastal Development Plan. It requires more public input from the individuals seriously affected (poor people who live in their vans, homeless service providers, tourists who visit the city). It also needs serious consideration of the Coastal Commission’s near-unanimous rejection of a rubberstamping of the previous nighttime RV ban in 2016.

Please request specific documentation on the abuses real and alleged that supposedly motivate this law to examine their exact extent in the last year to determine specific remedies rather than this overly broad attack that hurts poor and homeless people particularly. And shames our community generally.

HUFF Robert Norse, 309 Cedar 14B, Santa Cruz CA 95060

ADDITIONAL CONCERNS ABOUT SOME OF THE FINDINGS

1. Maintain views between the sea and the first public roadway parallel to the sea.

This ordinance revision eliminates any nighttime viewed for anyone in any oversized vehicle without provision for parking areas in the Coastal zone (or the City generally).

2. Protect vegetation, natural habitats and natural resources consistent with the Local Coastal Land Use Plan.

The new law provides no new facilities for dealing with toxic runoff, nor any evidence that “oversized” vehicles are more likely than other RVs to create such a problem.

3. Be consistent with any applicable design plans and/or area plans incorporated into the Local Coastal Land Use Plan, in that it implements policies therein.

31.786 1.705
Existing criminal ordinances create adequate penalties and safeguards to address toxic runoff. Again, were the City seriously interested in assisting RVs with this problem, they’d have created helpful facilities long ago.

4. Maintain public access to the coast along any coastline as set forth in the Local Coastal Land Use Plan.

Clearly, this law not merely limits, but bans, vehicular access to the coast from midnight to 5 AM for “oversized” vehicles, unless they are owned by or connected to a resident or paid for by a hotel, and then only for a limited period.

There is no “Safe Parking” for the majority of those who live in their vehicles in Santa Cruz, even in the midst of the pandemic. Optimistically predicting “a minimum of 30 spaces” does not create them, nor at any of the parking areas itemized within the City and the Coastal Zone impacted.

5. Be consistent with the Local Coastal Land Use Plan goal of providing visitor-serving needs as appropriate.

Again, there are currently no such adequate local facilities— as was the case in 2015. In fact, the City police department has reportedly had to establish its own tow yard, so enthusiastic has it been in towing away vehicles, often for aesthetic or technical reasons (as distinguished from real public safety concerns).

6. Be consistent with the Local Coastal Land Use Plan goal of encouraging coastal development uses as appropriate.

Suggesting the removal of lower income vehicles will make the area “cleaner and safer” is to endorse a kind of invidious discrimination which is both counterfactual and a form of bigotry antipathetic to the inclusive purposes of the Coastal Act.

10. The project maintains public view corridors between the sea and the first public roadway parallel to the sea and maintain natural views of the coastline.

31.787 1.706
For those still allowed to park in the Coastal Zone, public view will be maintained, but only for that group.

12. The project protects and enhances free public access to or along the beach, and sign such access when necessary.

In removing five hours of time per day, 35 hours per week, the nighttime ban obviously does the exact opposite of
“enhancing free public access”.

13. The project includes mitigation measures prescribed in any applicable environmental document.

As previously mentioned, the failure to actually establish facilities rather than write about them has severely impacted both the general public and RV owners and dwellers in making bathroom, trash disposal, and waste disposal more difficult.

16. The project is consistent with the policies of the Local Coastal Program, the General Plan, and the California Coastal Act.

The Coastal Commission’s August 2016 11-1 decision
striking down its staff’s recommendation to approve the prior nighttime RV ban gave clear indication as to how and why that ordinance (and this one) raises “significant questions” and needs a full hearing. The CC then clearly indicated that discrimination against the poor shall not be validated. The City’s claim of “crime” and “adequate alternative shelter” were not proven then, and they’re not proven now.

17. The site plan shall be consistent with physical development policies of the GeneralPlan, any required or optional element of the General Plan, any area plan or specific plan or other city policy for physical development. If located in the Coastal Zone, a site plan shall also be consistent with policies of the Local CoastalProgram.

Whether or not this law can be shoehorned into or fasttracked past the Local Coastal Program requirements raised serious questions when I spoke with the Local Coastal
Commission staff. Certainly City staff have not tried to raise

31.788 1.707
the issue of the prior law again with the broader Coastal Commission for the past five years in order to remedy the defects the CC point out. The Local CC staff also indicated their displeasure about inappropriate “enforcement” actions undertaken by the City and County during that period .

22. The site plan shall be situated and designed to protect views along the ocean andof scenic coastal areas.

Same concerns: it unnecessarily restricts those able to view the ocean and scenic coastal areas.

Please send this law back to the appropriate
Commission or City Council committee with a refusal to
agree that it accords with the Local Coastal
Development Plan. It requires more public input from
the individuals seriously affected (poor people who live in their vans, homeless service providers, tourists who visit the city). It also needs serious consideration of the Coastal Commission’s near-unanimous rejection of a
rubber-stamping of the previous nighttime RV ban in
2016.

Please request specific documentation on the abuses
real and alleged that supposedly motivate this law to
examine their exact extent in the last year to determine specific remedies rather than this overly broad attack
that hurts poor and homeless people particularly. And

31.789 1.708
shames our community generally.

I’ve already requested the developers application for this variance as well as the related applications mitigation’s and reports. I have not yet received any information.

Street parking for residents is already impacted. Any parking exceptions granted should exclude the street parking in front of Villa mar vista and the multifamily property to the immediate right of villa mar vista, giving priority or “exclusive use” to those spaces for villa mar vista and the multifamily property to its immediate right. 1/3/2022 20:20 X X
Considering the past actions by the California Coastal Commision and the possible humans rights violations involved in the cities actions as well as precedent legally with other cases across california etc. There is no reason to consider wasting time on this to appease voters. You will to make an impact waste everyone's time and embarrass yourselves further. It seems so far you have been unable to achieve nearly anything because of lawsuits after the fact which frankly is concerning as a citizen. This council has not demonstrated any understanding of prior legallity and is clearly working from pure emotional and personal responses.

It's frankly something you all should be ashamed of yourselves for considering the progressive history of the city and the fact you all are democrats. Moreover you will be literally potentially killing people to make people FEEL better, that's the only reason to do it. If it's a public health issue then open a city parking lot with bathrooms and a way to dump sewage IMMEDIATELY instead of pretending it isn't possible. there are plenty of options and the city hasn't taken any of them my uncle is still out on the streets and even kicked out of a hotel program for being disruptive YET HE HAS BI POLAR DISORDER as if this wasn't a known issue. This city has failed to do anything reliable to take care of the issue and removing them by force does NOTHING to solve this problem and only makes it worse. I believe that this issue is also potentially illegal in a variety of ways and could easily be a human rights violation.

I’m writing in support of this project. Santa Cruz desperately needs denser housing developments to help reduce the cost of living for its citizens. This project will increase housing stock and aid in reducing the unaffordability of living in Santa Cruz. 1/4/2022 7:35 X X
The current moves by the city against RVs is particularly inhumane during this cold weather spell. The severe shortage of low priced housing makes a vehicle the best option for some people. The city needs to provide facilities including bathrooms and trash collectors, not punish people for being poor.

The OVO is a cruel ordinance that puts our most vulnerable population in more danger. We saw this during the recent flooding, a multi generational family with a minor had their vehicle towed and they ended up having to survive the flood in leaking tents.

Everyone should have access to our coast, even if wealthy homeowners think these folks are undesirable or impact their home values. Please vote no.

I write in opposition to the Oversized Vehicle Ordinance and recommending it for approval to the Coastal Commission. While our community needs more (or better coordinated) services, we do not need more penalizing "management" tools. OVO will restrict access to the coast while making life even more difficult for many people living in their vehicles. It won't solve the problems surrounding people living outside or in vehicles, it will just slightly shift those problems or expand enforced itinerancy.

There is a whole laundry list of expanded services and increasing housing options that we should be doing instead.

As a neighbor to the 314 Jessie Street project and a founder of the Friends of Jessie Street Marsh, I wholeheartedly support the construction of more 100% affordable units on this property. This is a much needed housing category in our neighborhood. My concerns, in order of importance:

1. My understanding is that this project is exempt from CEQA review. The building site/drainage currently does not handle severe storms or prolonged rainfall well and does flood surrounding streets and the detached street level manager's cottage Due to the lack of CEQA review, it is imperative on the city to thoroughly review the drainage plans and attach conditions as necessary. Water from storm surges should be safely retained on site and released slowly so as not to overwhelm the streets and capacity of the Jessie St. Marsh downstream of the building to absorb runoff. The city should also ensure that the channel to the marsh at the end of Barson Street is kept clear so that water does not back up in that area.

2. Parking/traffic: The city should look into attaching a condition that preference be given to residents who don't or cannot drive, and requiring that the Mid-Pen provide a shuttle for residents. The neighborhood is very walkable and our family and my immediate neighbors next door to 314 Jessie find a car-free existence quite feasible.

3. Lighting: ensure that lighting plans for the property be low-impact for wildlife.

1/4/2022 12:01 X X
I'm concerned that this ordinance will lead to confiscation of people's homes and contribute to the homeless problem in Santa Cruz.

Re: Appeal of OSV Ban Ordinance and Associated Coastal Permit To the Santa Cruz City Council and Planning Commission:

By this letter, the American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California (“ACLU”), Disability Rights Advocates (“DRA”), Abbi Samuels, Peter Gelblum, and Veronica Crow (together, “Appellants”) demand the City of Santa Cruz (“City” or “Santa Cruz”) rescind Ordinance 2021- 20 (the “OSV Ban Ordinance” or “Ordinance”), which effectively prohibits people from residing in “oversized vehicles (“OSVs”) within the City. Pursuant to Santa Cruz Municipal Code (“SCMC”) Sections 24.04.182-183, this letter also serves as a notice of appeal of the coastal permit issued by the Zoning Administrator on January 12, 2022 in support of the OSV Ban Ordinance (“Permit”).
1 The Ordinance and the Permit violate the California Coastal Act and 1 With this notice of appeal, Appellants submit the demanded $699 fee under protest. Under the unambiguous terms of the Municipal Code, such a fee is not to be charged with respect to “developments project which are appealable to the Coastal Commission.” See SCMC § 24.04.182 (“A written notice of appeal, together with the appropriate fee, except development projects which are appealable to the Coastal Commission where no fee will be charged, must be received by the secretary to the zoning board or the city clerk…”) (emphasis added). The City’s Planning Commission website provides the same. See Planning Commission, CITY OF SANTA CRUZ, https://www.legalbluebook.com/bluebook/v21/rules/18-the-internet-electronic-media-and-othernonprint-resources/18-2-the-internet#b-320180 (last accessed Jan. 24, 2022). Further, the January 12, 2022 Zoning Administrator Agenda states “an appeal must be accompanied by a six hundred ninety-nine dollar ($699) filing fee, unless the item involves a Coastal Permit that is appealable to the Coastal Commission, in which case there is no fee.” CITY OF SANTA CRUZ, January 12, 2022 Special Meeting Zoning Administrator Agenda (Jan. 12, 2022), https://ecm.cityofsantacruz.com/OnBaseAgendaOnline/Meetings/ViewMeeting?id=1845&docty pe=1. Although OSV Ban, Project No. CP21-0174, also included a design permit, it principally involves a coastal permit, and therefore no fee should be charged. Appellants demand that the City

related environmental justice policies, and Santa Cruz’s local plans (including its General Plan, Housing Element, Local Coastal Program, and Municipal Code). The Ordinance and Permit also violate the Federal and California Constitutions and Federal and State disability laws. If enforced, the OSV Ban and associated Coastal Permit would have a disproportionate impact on marginalized groups, driving people of color, people with disabilities, and low-income people out of the City.

I. Interests of the Appealing Parties
The ACLU and DRA are civil rights organizations that have repeatedly written to the City to inquire about its treatment of unhoused people, including vehicularly housed people. The ACLU and DRA submit this appeal both as organizations and on behalf of all people whose rights would be harmed if the OSV Ban Ordinance and Permit were allowed to go into effect.

Abbi Samuels and Peter Gelblum are members of the Santa Cruz ACLU Chapter who have individually contested the City’s OSV Ban. Ms. Samuels lives on the Westside and is a neighbor of many vehicularly housed people in the area. Mr. Gelblum owns an OSV and has parked within the Coastal Zone, including when evacuated due to recent wildfires.

Veronica Crow is a 70-year-old woman who lives in a recreational vehicle (“RV”) next to the ocean in west Santa Cruz. Ms. Crow resides in her RV because she cannot afford housing rents in Santa Cruz on her fixed income. She has several disabilities, including chronic brain cancer and arthritis in her hands and knees. Due to her disabilities, she cannot stay in congregate-type shelters (which are full) as the increased noise and stimulus cause her headaches to be even more unbearable. Congregate shelters also fail to provide sufficient safety for her as a trans woman. She has attempted to secure “safe parking” with the Association of Faith Communities (“AFC”) Safe Parking Program without success. She always strives to be a good neighbor, but she is harassed and ticketed by the City.

If the OSV Ban is allowed to go into effect, Ms. Crow fears it will be aggressively and repeatedly enforced against her. She would be unable to park her RV on any of the designated spots along West Cliff Drive because it will be too big, too close to an intersection, or in a prohibited overnight area. Thus, if she were unable to park her RV in the coastal zone due to the ordinance she would effectively be driven out of Santa Cruz and the coast, and would have to drive miles to get to the ocean every day. However, she would be unable to afford that because of prohibitive gas costs— driving her RV is very expensive as it gets just five miles per gallon. Furthermore, if she were in a safe parking program an unknown distance away from the beach, she would be dependent on it to be close enough to walk to the beach every day, notwithstanding her disabilities. Being fined for parking her RV would make it even more difficult for Ms. Crow to afford food and other necessities, and make the possibility of returning to fixed housing even farther out of reach. Being towed for accumulating multiple infractions under the OSV Ban would deprive her of all her possessions and leave her with no place to live, leaving her in the precarious prospect of living on refund the fee provided herewith, and similarly refund the fee to any other party who has paid it in connection with an appeal of this project.

the streets. If she were forced to leave Santa Cruz, she would lose her hometown of eighteen years, access to support groups and friends, access to her doctors, and access to the coast.

Ms. Crow deliberately parks within a half-mile from the ocean. She walks along the beach and along the cliffs every day. She loves the water and used to surf. Her dog Eric also loves it— especially playing with other dogs at the dog beach. She has said that “the ocean is the only thing that keeps me sane.” She has always lived relatively close to the beach, claiming “the peace and tranquility are in [her] blood, giving [her] a sense of calm.” She used to take her daughter to the seashore frequently and said that it has always been part of her life. She says that once one has lived so close to the ocean and had it in one’s life, it is hard not to feel that way. She would not know what to do without access to it.

Ms. Crow is respectful of people who live in homes with coastal views, avoiding parking in front of their houses. However, she feels that she also has the right to coastal access, having lived next to the coast her whole life, having contributed to the community for over 70 years, and—most importantly—because the ocean is there for the public. She finds the RV Ban and homeowners’ complaints especially galling because coastal access is supposed to be a public right in California, and complaints from wealthy homeowners about RVs ruining their nice views and expensive homes overlooks the fact that one should not be able to buy up the coast in California.

With rising rents, the influx of new homeowners from Silicon Valley have brought in what Ms.

Crow calls a “gated community ethos” that is anti-Californian and that takes away her one of her rights as a Californian—access to the coast. She feels she is being told, “You don’t deserve to be on the beach because you are poor,” an idea she sees as biased, prejudiced, and trying “to privatize the ocean.” She said that coastal access should not just be for people with money.

II. Santa Cruz’ Homelessness Crisis
According to the 2019 Santa Cruz County Homeless Point-in-Time Count (“Count”), there are 2,167 unhoused people in Santa Cruz County (“County”), including those who live in their vehicles.
2 78% of all unhoused people in the County are unsheltered, with 69% of chronically homeless people in the County unsheltered. 44% of unhoused people in the County live on the streets or in an encampment; 15% live in a car, van, camper, or RV. Approximately half of the unhoused population in the County is in the City of Santa Cruz. In the City, the Count found 1,197 unhoused residents, 865 of whom were unsheltered (72%). The majority of unhoused people in the County were housed residents in the County for five or more years prior to their houseless status.

In terms of racial demographics, the County’s unhoused population is disproportionately Black and Native American. 33% of unhoused people in the County are Hispanic/Latinx, 8% are Black, 2 Applied Survey Research, 2019 Santa Cruz County Homeless Point-In-Time Survey, SANTA CRUZ CNTY. 14 (2019), https://housingmatterssc.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/2019-PITCount-Full-Report.pdf.

and 10% are Native, as compared to 34%, 1%, and 1% of the general population in the County, respectively. 67% of unhoused people in the County are men and 33% are women.

In terms of disability, 39% of unhoused people in the County reported at least one disabling condition, with 32% reporting a history of mental illness, 30% reporting post-traumatic stress disorder, 26% reporting a physical disability, and 21% reporting chronic health conditions. 31% were employed. In comparison, 7.5% of the City’s general population under 65 reported a disability.

In is undisputed that Santa Cruz lacks sufficient housing, shelter, and parking for its unhoused residents. The City has failed to set up any safe parking on its own nor has it identified the exact number or location of safe parking by nonprofits.

III. The Ordinance and Permit
Unable to alleviate its affordable housing shortage, the City has, for many years, sought to expel unhoused persons from the City by attempting to make it so difficult and dangerous for them to survive that they will decide to move elsewhere to live. The City’s efforts have included issuing repeated citations for alleged violations of unconstitutional laws prohibiting sitting or lying down in public places, or being in public places during prohibited hours;severely limiting the availability of “sanctioned” campground space to areas that are prone to winter flooding, and preventing encampment in other parts of the city; aggressive enforcement of parking and other motor vehicle ordinances targeted at people living in recreational vehicles; and verbally and physically harassing unhoused persons.

Most recently on November 9, 2021, the City Council adopted Ordinance 2021-20, which amended various provisions of the SCMC relating to the parking of oversized vehicles, like RVs.

The Ordinance prohibits the overnight (i.e., between 12:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m.) parking of OSVs anywhere in the City, with narrow exceptions for OSVs owned by individuals who already own or rent real property and wish to park their OSVs adjacent to their homes. SCMC §10.40.120(a), (g). It also prohibits the parking of OSVs at any time in many locations that are open to parking for other vehicles, such as within 100 feet of a crosswalk, intersection, stop sign, traffic signal, or on any arterial street. SCMC §10.40.120(f). These “prohibited zones” of 100 feet—or one-third the length of a football field—occur multiple times on any given street segment, and are each five times as long as the 20-foot zones “prohibited zones” pertaining to the parking of other vehicles near the same street features. See SCMC §10.40.040. Moreover, the prohibition of parking “at any place within 100 feet of a…boulevard” appears to prohibit parking along the entire length of all “boulevards.” Elsewhere in the SCMC, “boulevard” is defined as “[a]n arterial street or parkway.” See SCMC 23.24.030.7. Thus, the Ordinance appears to prohibit OSV parking at any time along the entire length of many of the major thoroughfares in the City.3 3 Although the SCMC does not define “arterial street,” according to a City planning document, arterial streets “carry the City’s heaviest traffic flows and provide regional and inter-community access. Arterial streets within the City include Ocean Street, Mission Street, Water Street, Soquel

In addition, the Ordinance requires that a person living in an OSV may not “permit the area surrounding the oversized vehicle to be maintained in an unsafe, untidy, and/or unsanitary/unhygienic fashion.” “Surrounding areas” must be “kept free from litter, debris, waste, discarded food products…discarded property…unleashed animals, and garbage.” §10.40.120(d).

This subsection of the Ordinance does not define “unsafe” or “untidy;” does not delimit by any kind of measurement what is the “surrounding area;” and imposes on an OSV resident an obligation to clean up after anyone else who may choose to dump trash or debris in the vicinity of their vehicle. A violation of this provision is a criminal misdemeanor, which subjects the person living in the vehicle to arrest4 and is punishable by a fine of up to $1,000 and imprisonment for up to 6 months. SCMC §4.04.010(5). A single violation also subjects the vehicle to towing under Cal.

Vehicle Code § 22651(h)(i).5 In addition, under the Vehicle Code, an accumulation of as few as five parking citations can subject a vehicle to towing. Cal. Vehicle Code § 22651. Given the history of the City’s enforcement of other parking ordinances against RV residents, this section is a powerful weapon that is likely to be used aggressively as a means to unlawfully threaten and harass OSV residents.6
The Ordinance provides that any person who parks an oversized vehicle such as an RV anywhere in the City between the hours of 12:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. is subject to punitive and excessive fines and towing, regardless of the unavailability of alternative shelter or a “safe parking” alternative within the City.

While the Ordinance makes passing reference to the possibility that the City “may” operate or sponsor a “safe parking” program to enable people living in RVs to park their vehicles safely on City-owned property, it neither requires the City to develop such a program nor makes the ability of the City to ticket and tow the homes of vehicularly housed persons conditional on the availability of any “safe parking” spaces or alternative shelter.

CITY OF SANTA CRUZ, General Plan 2030 Draft EIR at 4.4-7, https://www.cityofsantacruz.com/home/showdocument?id=22462. 4 SCMC § 4.02.050 provides that “City enforcement officials are authorized to arrest” a person “whenever the enforcement official has reasonable cause to believe that the person has committed a violation of the municipal code…in his or her presence.” 5 Cal. Vehicle Code § 22651(h)(i) provides that a peace officer “may remove a vehicle…if [the] officer arrests a person driving or in control of a vehicle for an alleged offense and the officer is…required or permitted to take, and does take, the person into custody.” 6By contrast, with respect to other violations of the municipal code, the City appears to encourage enforcement by administrative citations. See SCMC § 4.14.010.

IV. The Ordinance and Permit Unlawfully Limit Access to the Coast and are Contrary to California Environmental Justice Principles
This is not the first time the City has attempted, by the enactment of an ordinance, to expel persons living in RVs. In 2016, the City passed a similar OSV ordinance and approved a coastal permit, which never went into effect following a finding by the Coastal Commission of the existence of a “substantial issue.” Like the prior iteration presented to the Coastal Commission in August 2016, the OSV Ban Ordinance and associated Permit unlawfully limit access to the coast, particularly for low-income people, people of color, and those with disabilities. And given the amendment of relevant legislation in 2016 authorizing both the “issuing agency” and the Coastal Commission to consider environmental justice principles, the Ordinance and Permit must be reconsidered. Pub.

Res. Code § 30604(h). The City has not cured the deficiencies identified by the Coastal Commission. The Ordinance and Permit create an absolute overnight OSV ban city-wide, severely curtail daytime OSV parking, treat RV inhabitants differently than persons who dwell in fixed housing, and uniquely subject OSV residents to criminal liability for their undefined “surrounding area[s].” The repackaged OSV Ban and associated Coastal Permit are still supported by scant evidence of the link between purported harms and RV residents. Instead, there is a perpetuation of stereotypes about poor people. Nor is the ban narrowly tailored to address those harms. Similarly, there is little data or analysis on the number of OSV residents and the availability of alternative parking. The City still has no publicly-provided safe parking alternative and relies on vague aspirational expansion of privately run safe parking programs. Condoning the OSV Ban and associated Coastal Permit will only encourage the proliferation of these exclusionary policies across the state.

Article X of the California Constitution guarantees the right of access to navigable waters for all people. The California Coastal Act Section 30210 mandates that “maximum access…and recreational opportunities shall be provided for all the people…” Additionally, Section 30312.5 provides that “public facilities, including parking areas or facilities, shall be distributed throughout an area.” Further, Section 30223 protects “upland areas necessary to support coastal recreational uses,” including parking areas. It is undisputed that the OSV Ban Ordinance and Permit would severely limit street parking opportunities for OSV residents without any guaranteed alternatives.

The Coastal Commission’s 2016 questions and observations remain equally unanswered and applicable to the current OSV Ban and Coastal Permit application.7 Commissioners Howell and Turnbull-Sanders asked how the City could blame OSV residents with any increase of crime. The City provides the same vague conclusory response. One of the few specific statistics provided is a reference to a mere three of thirty-eight recent fire incidents being related to an OSV.8 7 Cal. Coastal Comm’n, August 10, 2016 Meeting, https://cal-span.org/unipage/?site=calspan&owner=CCC&date=2016-08-10. 8 City of Santa Cruz, Jan. 12, 2022 Zoning Administrator Agenda Report at 1.3, https://ecm.cityofsantacruz.com/OnBaseAgendaOnline/Documents/Downloadfile/Zoning_Admi nistrator_-

Conspicuously absent is any evidence of a “specific nexus,” as Commissioners Turnbull-Sanders descried, that increased debris, water discharges, or thefts are causally connected to OSV residents.

Instead, the Ordinance and Permit wrongly “identif[ies] anyone [who] is homeless as a chronic drug user or thief” in the words of Commissioner McClure. The City has therefore failed to substantiate neighborhood complaints, raising the possibility that the complaints are actually driven by blanket animus towards unhoused people.

Not only do the alleged harms need to be substantiated, but the Coastal Commission requires that proposed solutions must be narrowly tailored. The City has failed to make any effort to tailor its proposed solutions. It has, for example, failed to consider providing RV residents with trash disposal or waste disposal.9 As Commissioner McClure observed, the provision of services also does not lead to a drawing in of unhoused people. Rather, if the OSV Ban and Coastal Permit are affirmed, it is such “drastic draconian” policies that would spread.10 Despite multiple commissioners inquiring about the City’s identification of parking alternatives in 2016, Santa Cruz provides largely the same response now. In the intervening six years, the City has not created a single public safe parking spot. Not one. Instead, the City identifies the same Association of Faith Communities safe parking program. “As many as 22 spots” are available in Santa Cruz, but their locations, requirements, and the hours of operation are not disclosed. It is therefore unknown whether such spaces can accommodate all OSV residents. Indeed, the City does not even provide a meaningful estimate of the number OSV residents. The City proffers a number of 65 OSVs based on a count of limited streets. The conservative 2019 Point-in-Time Homeless Count suggests there are 180 vehicularly housed people in Santa Cruz. Further, the Santa Cruz Police Department cited 294 OSVs in 2021, suggesting the number of OSVs is far greater than 65.

The City has also failed to provide any analysis on the impact of its daytime parking restrictions.

Neither the unspecified AFC program spots nor the City’s aspirational goal of adding 3 emergency parking spots and 30 safe parking spots can accommodate the need. The City has provided no specifics about their safe parking plans, hinting only that the programs would be time-limited (nighttime hours only), located outside of the Coastal Zone, and limited to unhoused people who meet certain barriers. Given the City’s abysmal record of creating additional parking alternatives, the aspiration parking should not be credited when considering the OSV Ban and Coastal Permit.

Without alternatives, the OSV Ban and Coastal Permit will only “push[] out” people and have them “living on the street instead” as Commissioner Turnbull-Sanders observed. Or in the words of Commissioner McClure, it is time to stop “chasing people around the city.” Newly adopted environmental justice policies also require reconsideration of the OSV Ban and Coastal Permit. In late 2016, the Governor signed AB 2616, which amended the Coastal Act and gives the Coastal Commission new authority to specifically consider environmental justice when 9 Id. at 1.7.

making permit decisions. § 30604(h)11. The unanimously adopted 2019 Environmental Justice Policy provide that “opportunities not be denied on the basis of background, culture, race, color, religion, national origin, income, ethnic group, age, disability status, sexual orientation, or gender identity.”12 This specifically includes “low-income communities and communities of color that are disproportionately burdened by or less able to prevent, respond, and recover from adverse environmental impacts.”13 It further states that “[t]he coast belongs to everyone, and access cannot be denied or diminished on the basis of race, ethnicity, income socio-economic status, or place of residence or other factors listed in the Policy Statement.”14 Therefore, development and permits should “protect, encourage, and provide lower-cost visitor and recreational opportunities embody fundamental principles of environmental justice, “identify[] and eliminat[e] barriers…in order to provide for those who may be otherwise deterred from going to the beach or coastal zone.” The Coastal Commission must “strive for a no-net-loss of lower-cost facilities in the coastal zone, while implementing a longer-term strategy to increase the number and variety of new lower-cost opportunities.”15 Santa Cruz provides for no environmental justice analysis, let alone a demonstration of compliance. Had the City considered these equity principles, the Ordinance and Permit could not survive. OSV residents, like all unhoused people, are disproportionately people of color, people with disabilities, and poor. Unlike those who can afford to live on Santa Cruz’ coast in fixed housing, the Ordinance and Permit target OSV residents’ access to the coast by baring overnight parking, limiting daytime parking, and subjecting them to fines, towing, and arrest. And again, no reasonable alternatives are provided.

V. The Ordinance and Permit do not Comply with Santa Cruz’ General Plan, Housing Element, Local Coastal Program, and Municipal Code
The Ordinance and Permit are in direct conflict with provisions of the Santa Cruz 2030 General Plan (“General Plan”). Santa Cruz’s General Plan provides policies to effectuate a vision and principle of a balanced community with mobility, parks and recreation, affordable housing options, and community services. The General Plan states Santa Cruz will “maintain the community’s longstanding commitment to shared social and environmental responsibility, fostering a balance between employment, housing affordable to persons of all income levels, transportation, and 11 “Where a local government fails to consider environmental justice when evaluating a proposed development that has the potential to adversely or disproportionately affect a historically disadvantaged group’s ability to reach and enjoy the coast, that failure may be the basis for an appeal to the Coastal Commission. Similarly, where a local coastal program includes policies that implement environmental justice principles, a local government’s failure to consider those principles may also be the basis of an appeal to the Coastal Commission.” Environmental Justice Policy at 7.

natural resources.”16 The Ordinance and Permit instead provide for disparate treatment of those who have the means to live on Santa Cruz’s coast in fixed housing and those who must live in their oversized vehicles.

The City is to “integrat[e] automobile use”17 and “[e]ncourage innovative solutions that provide adequate parking.”18 The Ordinance does the opposite by limiting vehicle usage and parking. It makes streets inaccessible to people living in their vehicles by providing for an outright ban in the evening and severely curtails daytime parking without mandating additional, alternative parking for the parking lost.

The General Plan’s prescriptions on parks and recreation are equally ignored. Under PR3.3 the City is to “enhance publicly accessible coastal and open space areas.” This includes “ensur[ing] that development does not interfere with the public’s right to access the ocean,” (PR3.3.2), “requiring new development and public works projects to provide public access from the nearest public roadway to the shoreline and along the coast” (PR3.3.3), and “maximize public access and enjoyment of recreation areas along the coastline” (PR3.3.4). The public includes those who must reside in their vehicles, not just those with fixed housing. Therefore, the OSV Ban uniquely restricts RV residents, contrary to these provisions.

Furthermore, rather than promote “prosperity for all” or provide “provide excellent social services” (General Plan at 8), the OSV Ban and Coastal Permit promote instability by potentially stripping RV residents of their only homes. Rather than provides services or ensure alternative parking, the OSV Ban and Coastal Permit would leave people unsheltered in public.

They also run counter to Santa Cruz’ 2015-2023 Housing Element, which provides that housing for “extremely low, very low, low, and moderate income households is of utmost concern.”19 “Mobile homes,” “any vehicle designed, used, or intended to be used generally for living and/or sleeping quarters which is capable of moving, being moved, towed or transported,” can be part of meeting that need which should be maintained.20 The Housing Element 3.1 also recognizes the special needs of housing for people with disabilities and the need for services. Again, the Ordinance and Permit limit use of OSVs, which disproportionately impacts people with disabilities, and fails to require the provision of any services to accommodate them.

The Coastal Act also requires that all counties and cities lying within the coastal zone prepare a Local Coastal Program (LCP) to guide coastal development actions with that jurisdiction. The City must ensure that any coastal permit will “[m]aintain public access to the coast along any coastline as set forth in the Local Coastal Land Use Plan.” SCMC § 24.08.250. The Santa Cruz LCP is “an 16 City of Santa Cruz, General Plan at 1 (June 2012),

integral part of the City’s General Plan since planning and land-use policies within the coastal zone are issues of concern to the community as a whole” and is aimed at “maximiz[ing] access to the coast for people of all income ranges.”21 It includes directives to “enhance public access, open space quality and recreational enjoyment in a manner that is consistent with the California Coastal Act,”22, “ensure that development does not interfere with the public’s right to access the ocean,”23 and “[d]evelop and implement plans to maximize public access and enjoyment of recreations areas along the coastline.”24 For the above reasons, the OSV Ban limits public access to the coast, particularly poor people, people of color, and those with disabilities. The LCP also has specific provisions requiring that vehicular access to coastal areas is maintained, including free parking. 25 Prohibiting oversized vehicles from parking on city streets directly impedes that access.

VI. The Ordinance and Permit are Unconstitutional
Under the Eighth Amendment’s prohibition on “cruel and unusual punishment,” the City is prohibited from punishing indigent persons for life sustaining activities so long as those persons do not have reasonable alternatives for shelter. See Martin v. City of Boise, 902 F.3d 1031, 1048 (9th Cir. 2018), amended by 920 F.3d 584 (9th Cir. 2019), cert. denied, 140 S. Ct. 674 (2019). The Eighth Amendment also prohibits excessive fines, where the fine is grossly disproportionate to the gravity of the offense, will deprive the offender of their livelihood or is more than their circumstances and estate will bear. See Timbs v. Indiana, 139 S. Ct. 682 (2019); see also Article I, § 17 of the California Constitution. As the Supreme Court has recognized, excessive fines have often been used to wrongly punish status or a disfavored group. Timbs, 139 S. Ct. at 688-89. The OSV Ban violates these prohibitions because it imposes penalties for living in the only shelter some have access to, their RVs parked on public roads in Santa Cruz. There are not enough adequate shelters, housing, or safe parking for the unhoused in the City. So, for many, the only place to protect oneself from the elements is to sleep or simply “be” is in their vehicles. It is clear that the City seeks to RV residents from the City by (1) issuing repeating parking citations so as to make it economically impossible for such persons to live in their RVs, (2) increasing the likelihood of losing their homes through impoundment, and (3) threatening a loss of liberty through imprisonment. Accordingly, the OSV Ban violates the Eighth Amendment.

Further, under the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, a government may not act with deliberate indifference to place a person in a position of known or obvious danger that they would not otherwise have faced. OSV Ban Ordinance violates this prohibition because it 21 City of Santa Cruz, Local Coast Program and Coastal Land Use Policies and Maps at 1 (Oct. 27, 1992),

empowers the City to fine RV residents (and potentially arrest them), forcing them into even greater financial destitution, and to tow the vehicles which constitute their homes and only shelter, exposing them to the severe hardship of being unsheltered in public. This would deprive them greater access to food, water, electricity, secure sleeping, storage of life necessities, and access to care and services which undoubtedly heightens the level of stress and anxiety among persons who are already confronted with the significant challenges posed by their poverty. During the COVID19 pandemic, the risks posed to individuals whose homes are towed are even greater. Individuals whose homes are towed are exposed to an increased risk of contracting the COVID-19 virus because they are unable to limit their travel in their homes. Rather than take COVID-19 into account, the City has expressly provided that it will only suspend enforcement during nonpandemic related emergencies.

The Federal and State Constitutions also protect the right of freedom of movement and travel. U.S. v. Wheeler, 254 U.S. 281, 293 (1920); In re White, 97 Cal. App. 3d 141, 148 (1979). Because the OSV Ban effectively banishes RV residents from the coast and the City, without sufficient justification, it is unconstitutional.

VII. The Ordinance and Permit Fail to Comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act and the California Disabled Persons Act
Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) provides: “no qualified individual with a disability shall, by reason of such disability, be excluded from participation in or be denied the benefits of the services, programs, or activities of a public entity, or be subjected to discrimination by any such entity.” 42 U.S.C. § 12132. A public entity is prohibited from “utiliz[ing] criteria or methods…that have the effect of subjecting qualified individuals with disabilities to discrimination on the basis of disability.” 28 C.F.R. § 35.130(b)(3)(i) (emphasis added). Further, under Title II a public entity is affirmatively obligated to make “reasonable modifications” when necessary to avoid discrimination based on disability unless the modifications would fundamentally alter the nature of the service, program, or activity. See 28 C.F.R. § 35.130(b)(7). The California Disabled Persons Act (“CDPA”) incorporates the ADA and states that “a violation of the right of an individual under the Americans with Disabilities Act…constitutes a violation of the CDPA. Cal.

Civ. Code § 54.1(d).

People with disabilities are overrepresented in the City of Santa Cruz’s houseless population and many rely on oversized vehicles as their only form of shelter and vehicular transportation. Many such individuals have a disability-related need to remain in their RVs, which are crucial to managing their disabilities, and maintaining their physical and mental health. Though enforcement of the OSV Ban will harm everyone who uses an RV and seeks to access the coast in Santa Cruz, it will harm this population of houseless people with disabilities in a different and greater way. As just one example, while vehicularly-housed people who do not have disabilities may be able to walk the distances required to access services, facilities, and coastal areas the OSV Ban will prevent them from parking near—albeit with difficulty—many people with disabilities cannot.

Moreover, the OSV Ban does not provide or allow for any accommodations to ensure that people with disabilities who rely on RVs for shelter and transportation are not disproportionately denied access to the coast, and to services and facilities in the Coastal Area.

City-Wide Project Number: CP21-0173 Appeal of the Zoning Administrators approval of a Coastal and Design Permits to authorize the development associated with the amended municipal code pertaining to the parking of oversized vehicles (e.g., parking signage, time of use restrictions, etc.) and to implement City-wide safe parking programs for unhoused City residents living in oversized vehicles licensed and registered in the City of Santa Cruz.

MOTION: Motion made by Commissioner Schiffrin, seconded by Commissioner Maxwell, to uphold the Zoning Administrator’s acknowledgement of the environmental determination, and approve the Coastal and Design Permits based on the findings listed below and the Conditions of Approval modified by the Commission as follows (Strike-through/underline indicates changes):

Coastal and Design Permits to authorize the development associated with amended municipal code pertaining to the parking of oversized vehicles (e.g., parking signage, time of use restrictions, etc.) and to implement Citywide safe parking programs for unhoused City residents living in oversized vehicles licensed and registered in the City of Santa Cruz.

1. If one or more of the following conditions related to the safe parking program is not met with respect to all its terms, the enforcement of the Section 10.40.120(a) will not be allowed and then the approval of a safe parking program at a specified location may be revoked.

2. If, upon exercise of this permit, any developed safe parking site within the coastal zone is at any time determined by the Zoning Administrator to be incompatible with the surrounding neighborhood, revocation of, or amendment to, this permit by the Planning Commission could occur.

Outside of the coastal zone the Design Permit can be revoked or amended in accordance with the Santa Cruz Municipal Code.

3. The use shall meet the standards and shall be developed within limits established by Chapter 24.14 of the Santa Cruz Municipal Code as to the emission of noise, odor, smoke, dust, vibration, wastes, fumes or any public nuisance arising or occurring incidental to its establishment or operation. Mitigation measures may be applied when proposed by Safe Parking Program participants to bring them into compliance.

City of Santa Cruz will actively seek funding to provide mobile mechanics to assist participants as needed.

4. The Safe Parking Program. As part of its consideration of the proposed development, A safe parking program as described in Section 10.40.120(m) of the Vehicles and Traffic Section of the Municipal Code framework shall be implemented by the City and remain in effect for the life of these permits. is proposed. Site

locations shall be in the City of Santa Cruz, and will include basic sanitation services, at a minimum toilet, handwashing stations and trash containers, and detailed would include information would be provided with an up to date list of and options for sanitation and black water dumping. City of Santa Cruz will actively seek funding to provide vouchers for black water dumping and fuel to offset costs for relocation and waste management for participants in the Safe Parking Program. General parameters for the safe parking sites include:
 Off street locations (i.e. public/private parking lots). New signage shall be small-scale and designed to be incorporated into other signage in existing parking facilities. Existing sign post shall be used when possible.
 Hours generally shall be from 8:00 PM – 8:00 AM time frame. o Within the Coastal Zone, hours of operation shall be within this time frame, except that occasional, minor deviations from the 8:00 PM to 8:00 AM hours within the Coastal Zone may be allowed to facilitate provision of services to the program participants, so long as the additional hours are of a frequency, duration, and/or location such that they do not adversely interfere with coastal access.
o Outside the Coastal Zone, Facilities (for example, Tier 3 facilities where enhanced services are provided) may be operated with extended hours, including on a 24/7 basis, so long as plans adequately address required parking for other uses. If not operated on a 24/7 bases office of operation would at a minimum be 8:00PM – 8:00AM.
 Sanitation will be provided at all locations (i.e., porta-potties, hand washing stations, and garbage cans). Black water dumping facilities may be provided at some locations. All facilities shall, whenever possible, be located where no impacts to public vehicular or bike parking occur. When that is not possible, all facilities shall be located or operated in a manner so as to minimize vehicular and bike parking impacts to the greatest extent feasible. Locations of porta-potties, hand washing stations, and trash receptacles, as well as the locations of overnight parking on the site, will also take into account the adjacent uses, visibility, maintenance of views, on- and off-site circulation, and accessibility.

31.816
 Safe Parking sites will not be sited in mapped “high impact parking areas” within the Coastal Zone.
 There will be no cost to participants in the Safe Parking Program.  The prohibitions in Section 10.40.120(a) of the Vehicles and Traffic Section of the Municipal Code shall not be applied to any person and oversized vehicle, collectively, that does not have free and unrestricted access to a Safe Parking Program parking space and there shall be no registration or eligibility requirements to participate in the program.
 An Operations and Management Plan for the Safe Parking Program shall be approved by the Zoning Administrator within three months from the effective date of the permits and shall contain the following:
o Procedures for informing law enforcement personnel in real time of the availability of Safe Parking Program parking spaces. This procedure shall be in place prior to enforcement of the Section

10.40.120(a).
o Procedures for the filing and resolving of complaints. o Procedures to ensure that potential participants of the Safe Parking Program will confront no barriers to their participation.

Good neighbor rules of behavior may be applied.
o Details regarding the funding and management of Safe Parking Program locations.
 Additional operational criteria may be applied by the City Manager, pursuant to Section 10.40.120(m) of the SCMC.

5. Notwithstanding the exceptions noted in Section 10.40.120(g) of the Vehicles and Traffic Section of the Municipal Code and, in particular, the exception noted in Section 10.40.120(g)(7), the parking restrictions contained in Section 10.40.120(a) shall not be implemented until and unless a safe space is available. If all available safe parking spaces are filled, Section 10.40.120(a) shall not be enforced.

6. If a vehicle cannot relocate to a Safe Parking Location due a mechanical issue, lack or fuel or physical, mental or emotional difficulties of the vehicle operator that prevents safe operation of the vehicle the parking restrictions will not be enforced for up to 72 hours and the right to sleep at the current location will be observed. The City shall notify the occupant of any resources available to assist in remedying whatever is preventing them from moving their vehicle to an available safe parking spot.

31.817

7. At the end of the first year of operation, City staff will prepare a report that outlines the program operations in the Coastal Zone, its usage, the number of parking stalls affected, and complaints received regarding the program. If it is determined that any of the standards applicable in the Coastal Zone and identified in conditions above have not been met or if it is determined that a use has impacted availability of public parking spaces such that public parking is not otherwise available in the location where the safe parking program is being operated, then the City shall propose modifications to operations so as to remedy those situations. A copy of the report shall be submitted to the Executive Director of the Coastal Commission for review and approval. If the Executive Director determines that the safe parking program is negatively impacting public access, then the program shall be modified to eliminate such impacts, or mitigate them to the maximum extent feasible as directed by the Executive Director, including but not limited to elimination of the safe parking program location(s) in the Coastal Zone.

MOTION: Motion to substitute the original motion with a motion to return the item to staff for further consideration of the suggested changes to the Conditions of Approval so they may be evaluated by staff for coherence, legality, and completeness made by Commissioner Mesiti-Miller, seconded by Commissioner Kennedy.

Please confirm this is possible. -Kevin

31.826
Dear City Council,
I would like to appeal the decision made by the Planning Commission on March 3rd in regards to accepting the Coastal Design Permit for the Oversized Vehicle Ordinance, CP21-0173.

Though, the Planning Commission has added extra protections under the permit’s conditions of approval, I still believe that the portion of this ordinance which establishes an oversized vehicle parking permit program is discriminatory, in violation of the City General Plan, and a major impedance of public access to the coast, thus making it unlikely to be accepted by the Coastal Commission if brought before them via appeal.

Similar to the issues noted in Robert Norse’s LCP analysis of 2016, OVO specifically limits public access to open space lands and the coastline to oversized vehicles, and thus violates all of the above goals which suggest “enhancement” and “maximization” of public access. As noted in provisions below, the OVO did not properly solicit public opinion from our unhoused neighbors living in vehicles in determining how the OVO serves their diverse set of needs and interests, thus violating PR2.1.1 and PR2.1.2.

In canvassing people living in oversized vehicles on Delaware Ave, neighborhood group Santa Cruz Cares has found that a significant portion of the population would be excluded from both receiving a permit, as well as qualifying for the large majority of safe parking vacancies that the city is promising to create, due to restrictions placed on vehicle registration, tags, and more.

The City General Plan points this violates are:
● Goal PR2: High-quality, affordable recreational programs, activities, events, and services for all
○ PR2.1.1 Solicit public input to determine community interests and needs. ○ PR2.1.2 Provide and support cultural and recreational events, activities, and festivals that relate to diverse community needs
● Goal PR3 Well managed, clean, and convenient public access to open space lands and coastline
○ PR3.3 Protect, maintain, and enhance publicly accessible coastal and open space areas. Cf. CD1.4, LU3.11.
■ PR3.3.2 Ensure that development does not interfere with the public’s right to access the ocean (where acquired through use or other legislative authorization).
■ PR3.3.4 Maximize public access and enjoyment of recreation areas along the coastline.
● PR1.6 Ensure that parks and recreation facilities are accessible to all. ○ PR1.6.1 Maintain and enhance access for vehicles, transit, bicycles, and pedestrians.

31.827
○ PR1.6.5 Coordinate with other public entities in assuring public access to unrestricted open space lands and coastline.

As mentioned in neighborhood group Santa Cruz Cares’ original appeal letter, there are numerous neighborhoods that informally host oversized vehicles without noticeable impacts to public areas or complaints from the housed.

In early 2020, housed neighbors living on Riverside Ave (Lower Ocean Neighbors) even mounted a defense against SCPD towing an unhoused neighbor living in their RV on their block.

It’s clear that OVO, with it’s city-wide normalization of criminalizing vehicle survival, did not reach out to neighborhoods like Riverside Ave (CC1.1, CD2.2, CD2.2.2), and certainly did not attempt to cater their parking strategy to their unique neighborhood character (CD5.2.3).

The City General Plan points this violates are:
● CD5.2.3 Design parking strategies at a district or neighborhood-wide level to foster a pedestrian-oriented environment. Cf. LU1.1.3, M1.5, M1.5.3, and ED5.4. ● CD2.2 Work with local groups when planning significant public improvements for their neighborhoods and districts
○ CD2.2.2 Engage the public in long range planning projects including Area Plans and General Plan updates
● CC1.1 Facilitate the participation of residents, citizen commissions, and other groups in local government decision-making
The city staff did not adequately address our concern regarding fiscal impacts in their response to our appeal. It has always been the case that the threat of constitutionality lawsuit against OVO would apply only after it has been enforced– and because the primary zone in which the city would like to enforce OVO is in the Coastal Zone, it makes sense that this concern be brought forward as a fiscal impact at this stage of its development.

Similarly, staff did not make any real attempt to explain how it would sustainably maintain a policy that will lead to an increase in towing of oversized vehicles when they themselves report that local tow yard capacity is low and unlikely to return. Ahead of OVO’s passage, this problem has even lead the city to create their own makeshift tow yard at the landfill to continue towing vehicles. Even in this case, however, former police chief Andy Mills has suggested that the city-run landfill tow yard is “maxed out and logistically cumbersome for landfill staff” 1 .

The cost to operate the landfill tow yard has only been informally reported on by Mills, in which he omits the expensive labor costs of metal scrapping an oversized vehicle. During his presentation at city council on 9/21/21, Mills suggests that it is unsustainable for tow yards to even perform metal scrapping on oversized vehicles like RVs due to the reduced market value of metal scrap.

31.828
To this day, the public has no report as to the full cost analysis of this landfill tow yard, unilaterally created by members of our executive branch with no input from the public or legislative branch. It is fairly obvious by statements at previous city council meetings that the landfill tow yard is quite a bit more expensive to operate than is even being reported by staff as this is in line with substantial research showing that, in addition to being an ineffective tool for managing homelessness, criminalization costs city’s substantially more money than focusing on supportive services.
234567
The City General Plan points this violates are:
● CC3.9 Sustain long-term fiscal stability
Research shows that laws that aim to curb visible homelessness within town will inevitably push people further into open space and coastal zones. People are looking for safe places to exist without having to move all the time, if that is no longer in town, people will move to more isolated and hidden locations.
8 The City General Plan points this violates are:
● LU2.3.1 Protect, maintain, and enhance publicly accessible coastal and open space areas.
● LU3.11 Protect open spaces that provide scenic, recreational, educa- tional, and environmental benefits.

Diversity includes economic diversity (which itself often falls along racial lines). Providing community services and facilities with changing and growing needs of a diverse group of people means actually providing those services- greywater, blackwater, and trash pick up, utilities hook ups, at extremely low or no cost for those who require it. Implementing a permitting system that only applies to people who don't have access to driveways (like those who live in apartments or on the street) is discriminatory. Those who live in their vehicles who aren't able to participate in the city's limited services will have their homes towed and wind up experiencing unsheltered homelessness.

31.829
● CC2.1 Provide community services and facilities in keeping with the needs of a growing and diverse population.

Making a policy that prioritizes ticketing and towing makes it more likely that people who are ineligible for city safe parking programs will have insufficient resources to appropriately dump their gray/black water. Additionally, the unsheltered homelessness that this policy will undoubtedly cause will even further decrease the access people have to restrooms. This can potentially lead to lower water standards. The solution is creating equitable access to restroom facilities and black water dumping stations/mobile collection, regardless as to whether someone can access a safe parking site.

The City General Plan points this violates are:
● C3.2 Meet or exceed all regulatory drinking water standards If Santa Cruz is a town that values equity and environmental stewardship then it must expand services to those living in cars and outside, Santa Cruz can achieve this by performing route studies to explore expanding collection service to those living outside and in their vehicles, regardless as to whether someone can access a safe parking site.

The City General Plan points this violates are:
● CC6.2 Provide convenient, economical, and efficient waste and recycling collection service.
○ CC6.2.1 Perform route studies as needed.
○ CC6.2.2 Expand the list of curbside recyclables.
○ CC6.2.3 Consider alternatives to curbside pickup.
● NRC7.4.3 Support gray water collection and reuse within residential and business closed water systems (toilets), and support further study of appropriate use of greywater within landscaped areas.

31.830
Affixing a sticker or placard to one’s vehicle can make them a target for harassment by unfriendly neighbors and Santa Cruz Police. The city has a history of unwarranted ticketing and intimidation. Recently, a member of the Santa Cruz Volunteer Police Program, Joe Haebe, was found to be harassing Homeless Union leader Alicia Kuhl with threats of towing despite her being in compliance with parking laws. Upon learning of this, the ACLU wrote a letter questioning the city and the city responded by halting the Volunteer Police Program.

The parking permit aspect of OVO is unlikely to receive a Coastal Design Permit, if appealed to the Coastal Commission, which local groups intend to do.

In the last six years since OVO was previously rejected by the Coastal Commission, the Commission has also rejected another parking permit program in Newport Beach 10 , and just in
Jan 2022 sent a letter to the County Board of Supervisors informing them that the 40-year old Live Oak parking permit program was also in violation of public access. 11 I believe this sends a strong message that, while the Coastal Commission staff may be on board for OVO, as it is written today (and as they were in 2016), Coastal Commissioners themselves have a different opinion on the matter.

Save advocates the time and effort. Take this opportunity to remove the now mostly unenforceable (thanks to Planning Commission’s permit conditions), discriminatory parking permit program from the OVO, leaving just the services, which you are already in the process of funding and working on and which represent a positive step for the city.

Re: Oversize Vehicle Ordinance appeal
Dear Mayor and Councilmembers,
Housing Santa Cruz County is concerned with the unintended consequences of the Oversized Vehicle Ordinance. The City’s Housing Element states in describing the need for those most in need of housing, “any vehicle designed, used, or intended to be used generally for living and/or sleeping quarters which is capable of moving, being moved, towed or transported, can be part of meeting that need which should be maintained.”
Repeated ticketing of oversized vehicles used by the unhoused could result in towing and the elimination of its use as a home thereby transferring the occupant(s) to the streets or tents, as shelter opportunities have become significantly reduced with the County’s reduction of Project RoomKey shelters, a less desirable outcome for both the unhoused individuals and the community.

HSCC supports the “safe parking” program with the stated goals of the ordinance to provide locations, infrastructure and assist those interested in transitioning from unhoused oversized vehicle dwellers to long‐term affordable housing options. However, until those programs are in place there will not be enough “safe parking”, and even though RV owners can acquire emergency permits there will always be some who will not request them, guaranteeing some might become homeless. We suggest a moratorium on parking tickets and towing until the other programs outlined in the ordinance are functioning with law enforcement only as the last resort.

There are no easy solutions and no solution that will have broad community support. We believe that as the Housing Element states, all housing, even RV’s, contribute to housing the unhoused and that should be a high priority.

Sincerely,
Don Lane, Chair
for the Governing Board of Housing Santa Cruz County

It seems to me that the Planning Commission has their own agenda and doesn’t reflect what we as community members asked for when we asked the City Council to pass the original ordinance. The changes that they approved are utterly ridiculous.

It seems like nothing ever gets done so please approve the original ordinance so that we can start enforcing it.

I was unaware the Planning Commission had the power to change recommendations for a Coastal Permit so drastically that it would completely change the intent of the original recommendation. Because this appears to be an attempt to include all kinds of financial obligations by the city without any research on impacts,funding, or enforcement, I am thankful Council member Golder has called this item up for further public review.

I live on the westside and would really appreciate some clear legal limits on the squatters setting up shop on Delaware etc. A well-regulated place for registered RVs as small living spaces for our lower income citizens would be great to have, but the current “wild wild Westside” is not healthy or safe or acceptable to those of us who live or work here.

Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers,
Seems like kicking a dead horse! How many years quibbling over RVs now - 10, 15, 20??? 20 plus it seems to me! Those unsafe polluting RVs have gone from 'drug bins' on West Cliff in the mid 1990s to being all over town these days - residential and commercial areas. Please do something about getting these RVs in an RV area!

The Lower Westside has been significantly impacted by the consequences of unsanctioned large vehicle camping on our streets. We supported the original OVO passed in November 2021. Thank you Renee for initiating the current review. We appreciate the work city has done to establish a safe spaces parking program and appreciate the inclusion of county sites in the identified parking places on city and county property.

Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers,
I strongly support the Oversized Vehicle Ordinance that was passed by 5 Councilmembers. Please do not let the Planning Commission undermine your hard work.

With nearly 1,000 emails received for the 9/21 introduction and the first reading, there is broad support for this ordinance.

Those urging the Council to vote YES outnumbered the NO vote by nearly 10 to 1.

Please continued support for the Oversized Vehicle Ordinance.

Thank you,

Subject: Please enforce the RV Ordinance
The oversized vehicle ordinance that was passed by the City Council was a good one … after a lot of hard work.

Please enforce it. This is what Santa Cruz citizens need and many many people in our City support it. We see people in motor homes using our City streets as their free campground when we have campgrounds nearby that should be used. Our streets are not intended to be used as campgrounds. Many of these motor homes come with baggage such as people who use the street as a toilet or waste dumping ground. I have seen this many times. I have also seen litter, drug paraphernalia, and waste buckets flung into our streets and yards from these RV’s.

Thank you for working hard to make our City a safe place to live.

Please do not allow camping in our neighborhoods. With the way things are in this town these days we do not feel comfortable with Strangers parking in front of our home. We have witnessed a camper pouring a large jug of urine all over our sidewalk and when we confronted him he totally flipped out and started yelling. The County owns land, why don’t they use it to supply a campground for all these motorhomes and vans? This has been going on in this town for over 20 years so when do we get our Quality of life back , here in Santa Cruz, where I was born?

Subject: Item 31: Support for OVO as Outlined In Agenda 4/12 Report Dear City Council,
The Lower Westside has been significantly impacted by the consequences of unsanctioned large vehicle camping on our streets. It’s not uncommon to see discarded water bottles full of urine along with other debris, including feces left along the curbs from OVOs in our area I’ve heard that Renee has prompted a review of the OVO and didn’t want to go unheard. Another important aspect of an overnight parking ordinance is enforcing it along the other existing ordinances. For example, Pelton has signage that prohibits overnight parking but it’s rarely enforced which undermines the intention and effort that the city has put forth. A similar parking enforcement issue exists in general though. Cars park facing oncoming traffic, block sidewalks forcing pedestrians onto the street, and encroach on driveway aprons more often than not. All three of these are violations of the California Vehicle Code yet, go consistently unenforced throughout the Westside. Wouldn’t it be better to enforce the rules or change them rather than ignore them? I support the original OVO provisions as outlined in the current city staff agenda report dated 4/12/22 and trust that if it passes, it will be enforced.

Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers,
Thank you to the 5 Councilmembers that passed the oversized vehicle ordinance. Don’t let the Planning Commission undermine your hard work.

With nearly 1,000 emails received for the 9/21 introduction and the first reading, there is broad support for this ordinance.

Those urging the Council to vote YES outnumbered the NO vote by nearly 10 to 1.

Thank you for hearing me and my neighbors. The City should enforce common‐sense rules for RVs that will do the following:
* Better protect the oceans and environment
* Increase neighborhood safety for children
* Reduce public health risks caused by poor sanitation and needles * Create a better situation for local businesses, their customers and employees As a local business owner, I have watched (even today) people in trailers dump their human waste on the sidewalks outside of our businesses, bother our patrons and attract additional homeless who are dealing and doing drugs in the open air. If we allow them to continue to park where they want, more locally owned small businesses will be shut down. After Covid, I can’t imagine this is what the city wants.

Thank you for serving as Councilmembers.

Please do not accept the staff coastal zoning permit recommendations for the Oversized Vehicle Ordinance. The proposed ordinance changes, particularly Item 6, will make it impossible to enforce "I don't FEEL like I can move now". The free handouts will make Santa Cruz even more of a magnet for these problem vehicles. Further, this is NOT the city's problem to solve, and council should insist that the safe sleeping sites be outside the city limits.

Unless you want to give unlimited parking privileges on the street outside your house, find some backbone and don't just listen to the people who benefit bringing more homeless into our city. Under the previous city councils the homeless problem has just gotten worse every year. Time for a change.

Please do not accept the staff coastal zoning permit recommendations for the Oversized Vehicle Ordinance.

Our town should not allow illegal parking of any vehicles and the oversized are taking over very ecologically sensitive areas; the vehicles become immovable in short order with piles of garbage surrounding them. Been to Seymore Center? Shaffer Rd? Fire hazards are a real problem. Gas operated generators used every day next to very flammable fields. No bathrooms.

Find another way to deal with this, other than making it attractive to locate here with rarely moved or soon to be inoperable vehicles. Please walk or drive around and see it for yourselves. The neighborhoods you allow this would be negatively impacted. Is that OK?

The amount of trash they leave can be quite startling. Additionally, they occupy parking spaces that are needed by UC students

Trash litters the sidewalks making it impossible to walk on, it is stuffed into the weeds, it is beside streams which run into the ocean, and the urine smell is often on the street.

Santa Cruz could be a destination point for visitors, bringing in money to businesses and a boost to our economy. Yet we allow a few extremists to turn our community into a homeless campground. I just don’t understand why.

Subject: Item 31: Support for OVO as Outlined In Agenda 4/12 Report Dear City Council,
It is not unreasonable to expect people to park in an area where they are permitted to park, and to not park in neighborhood streets. Not everyone parking on the street is homeless. This narrative has gotten a lot of use, but it isn't accurate or fair to people to have people on vacation living in front of their homes because they don't have to move to an RV park because the city is so lax in its enforcement. There need to be rules to protect neighborhoods and the environment from unregulated overnight camping. The OVO does this. It also helps provide services to people who have to live in their vehicles, which is a good thing.

The Lower Westside has been significantly impacted by the consequences of unsanctioned large vehicle camping on our streets. We supported the original OVO passed in November 2021.

As someone who lives on a street with constant RV overnight camping, I can confirm the negative impacts of this behavior first hand. From having a gun shot at my home, to constant partying, open drug use, trash in the street (that flows into the ocean), there is no end to the damage caused by the tolerance of this behavior. To be clear, most of these campers are not people in need. They are people who choose this lifestyle and choose to impose their lifestyle on our neighborhoods, families, etc. We are fully supportive of compassionate outreach and support of those in need — allowing people to camp on our streets without appropriate facilities or services is neither compassionate nor helpful.

One person on the Planning Commission should not have had the authority to change the original conditions of approval (on the second reading no less) which have been worked on by staff and council for a long period of time. Thank you for being willing to review it again in the interest of having the public be able to see and comment on the changes. The changes made by the Planning Commission serve to undermine the entire purpose of the ordinance (to have safe spaces in the city AND county for people to park) while making the rules basically unenforceable (you don't have to move if it would cause "emotional distress"?), and expensive (city should pay for a mobile mechanic and gas to be provided to people for free at the taxpayer's expense?). And that there should be no rules, no application, no "barriers", no behavior contract in order to receive a FREE safe space to park? Those changes are ridiculous; please delete them and pass the original ordinance as previously written.

Subject: Keep original overnight parking... not the changes...do not make the changes If the City Council is now reviewing what was changed at the Planning Commission level because it changes the City Staff recommendation for the Coastal Zoning permit so drastically as to render the ordinance unenforceable .

Some key changes from the Planning Commission include:
1) City will actively seek funding to provide free mobile mechanics and free gas. ...too expensive..ask the County
2) Planning Commission removed the county as a place for safe sleeping sites. This means all the responsibility falls to the city.

Soo not right...
3) City will actively seek funding to provide fuel to offset costs for relocation of vehicles. Too expensive...ask the County
4) "confront no barriers" to participation including "no registration or eligibility requirements" to participate, and lastly, if a vehicle cannot relocate due to mechanical issue, lack of fuel or physical, mental, or emotional difficulty of the operator, the ordinance will not be enforced and "right to sleep at current location will be observed". This should not be included

Subject: Item 31: Support for OVO as Outlined In Agenda 4/12 Report Dear City Council,
The issue of overnight RV campers parking whereever in the city has created many problems for local residents for many years. People who need help should be provided it but should be required to follow regulations like anyone else. Providing services in a specified area on county or city property would allow services to be provided more effectively. It only makes sense. What doesn't make sense is allowing this situation to continue endlessly. It is time to enforce some reasonable regulations in the interest of public safety and protecting the environment, as well as getting people needed help.

Subject: Fwd: Please vote to pass the oversized vehicle ordinance -
Dear council
I became aware about a year ago that there is an app called Overlander that lists many streets on our lower westside neighborhood as "free" camping sites for overnight parking. and apparently there is another one called RV life. No wonder we are overrun with Rv's and campers parking overnight on Delaware, Natural Bridges, Swanton, Shaffer, etc. I live nearby and every day I see more and more of these vehicles, many leaving garbage and sewage behind them when they leave. Why should it be OK for people to come park free in our neighborhoods? If people need help because they have no place to live, they need to work with the city to enter a program for assistance. I support the enforcement of no overnight sleeping in vehicles on city streets. Please pass this ordinance and return the neighborhoods to the neighbors.

How is it that one person, not even elected, can change a whole ordinance for political reasons with no public input? Anyone who watched the March Planning Commission meeting and saw what happened to the conditions of approval of the oversized vehicle ordinance understands that this is exactly what happened. The changes that were made not only gutted any possibility of enforcement of the regulations, but let the county off the hook in terms of providing any places for people to park. I appreciate that Councilmember Golder had the courage to ask for a review of these changes.

Subject: Item 31, support for staff recommendations for conditions of approval - OVO Dear Mayor Brunner and Council Members:

Westside Neighbors appreciates the significant work that city staff and council members have done on the Oversized Vehicle Ordinance and Safe Spaces Parking Program. Westside Neighbors supports city council review of the Planning Commission's Conditions of Approval for the OVO, and we support the current staff recommendations.

Westside Neighbors is a large neighborhood organization established in 2019 in response to one city councilman's proposal to allow overnight RV parking on Delaware Avenue. The lower Westside, in particular, has been significantly negatively impacted by issues related to people living in their vehicles/RVs on city streets, particularly on Swanton, Delaware, Fair, Shaffer, Mission Extension, Mission/Grandview, Ingalls, Swift, McPherson and Garfield Park, as well as the side streets adjacent to West Cliff Drive. Our local neighborhoods have been regularly subjected to the consequences of illegal dumping, greywater and blackwater discharge, fires, garbage, environmental degradation, criminal behavior including drug dealing, theft, weapons, and domestic violence, documented by SCPD/SCFD calls for service.

The Planning Commission's March 3 changes to the Conditions of Approval for the OVO have rendered the original ordinance unenforceable. Enforcement is required to ensure that those living in their vehicles move to a sanctioned place where they can receive services and support, at the same time mitigating the negative impacts on the environment and city neighborhoods that unsanctioned camping creates. Significant previous public input and comment has been received and included, substantial enough in volume to feel confident that the OVO is the direction most people in the city want to see put into practice to address this issue and address related needs.

We support an expanded safe sleeping program as outlined in the OVO and currently being developed by the city/county. People living in vehicles/RVs out of necessity need to have safe places to park on city AND county property, with sanitation services and social services to assist people improve their living situations. Supporting the original OVO will apply pressure to support the city and county efforts in identifying and establishing additional safe spaces for those who need them. Leaving the county out of the equation (as the Planning Commission did) is a big misstep.

It's long past time to move forward from continuous stalemate and obstruction to actually beginning to take steps to solve this problem. Please pass the current staff recommendations for the conditions of approval. .

Don't let the Planning Commission's changes undermine all of your previous hard work.

Thank you for listening and considering our viewpoint.

Subject: Item 31, I support the council review and staff recommendations from 4/12 report Dear Mayor Brunner and City Council Members:

I watched the March 3 Planning Commission meeting with amazement, as I saw one commissioner completely undo the hard work the city staff and council members have done with regard to the Oversized Vehicle Ordinance in a matter of minutes, with no public input allowed. The amendments were substantial, and far from being "just clarification" as the commissioner described, fundamentally changed the time, place, manner and enforceability of the ordinance. I counted at least 11 changes, none of them were inconsequential, including limiting the safe spaces parking to only the city (excluding county sites), changing the times in spite of the caution from other commissioners that the new times conflicted with Coastal Commission recommendations, and creating an unfunded liability for the city to provide free mobile mechanic services and free gas to those living in their vehicles. It seemed so wrong that one person on a commission, not even an elected official, could virtually undo all the hard work that the city staff has done to craft an ordinance that would satisfy not only the demands of the Coastal Commission, and legal constraints, but address the needs of people living in their vehicles, as well as create common sense regulation to address the negative impacts that unsanctioned overnight camping creates in neighborhoods.

I support the Safe Spaces Program that the city is creating, and I know how much work has gone into it so far. People living in their vehicles out of necessity need services. Services can be more effectively provided in a sanctioned central area, not on each and every street that someone wants to live (as suggested by some activists). Eliminating county sites (as the Planning Commission did) not only means all the responsibility falls on the city (who can least afford it), but that the county basically is off the hook for providing safe spaces parking, which is going in the wrong direction. Much positive movement has occurred in regard to getting this program off the ground. In typical fashion, the homeless activists and their affiliates on the Planning Commission actually undermined this progress in the amendments they wrote. Their obstructionism and continual threat of law suit serve only to ensure that no services will be provided to the people living in their vehicles, which is contrary to what they claim to want. I don't understand why they don't see that, but I am appealing to you to revert back to the original Conditions of Approval as previously outlined, and to accept the staff recommendations included in this 4/12 staff report. The staff have worked hard to balance the needs of the neighborhoods, the environment, and people living in their vehicles. The original ordinance and Conditions of Approval create the best possible conditions for success going forward.

Don't let progress be undermined. Don't take a step backward. Please pass the staff recommendations and the Conditions of Approval and move forward.

Thank you for your service to our city.

Subject: I don't really support the original Oversized Vehicle Ordinance Dear Mayor Brunner and City Council Members,
The idea that the small, budget strapped city of Santa Cruz can solve homelessness on its own is not rational.

This is a state-wide and nationwide problem. While I support zoning changes that make it easier to build more and higher on our limited land, I do not believe in providing services for a potentially endless flow of oversized vehicles.

Please register vehicle owners for services in a way that prioritizes UCSC students and recent residents (registered with our local DMV, for example). Otherwise, please resist the misguided urge to believe that there's just a small, finite number of locals who need assistance. We will be drowning in oversized vehicles the moment we provide much more services than the other towns and cities of California.

Sincerely,
Me

Re: Agenda Item #31: Oversized Vehicles Ordinance
Dear Mayor Brunner, Vice Mayor Watkins, and City Councilmembers:

Santa Cruz YIMBY advocates for more affordable housing to meet the needs of our growing population in response to the ever-increasing cost of living and the housing crisis in our region. We recognize that neighbors both housed and unhoused are reeling from the effects of a lack of affordable housing.

Until we have abundant affordable housing, we must allow people to live in cars and RVs. There should always be an option for a low income person who lives in their car to legally park it somewhere in the city without undue burdens.

The City needs to have safe parking programs for both registered and unregistered vehicles. Safe parking programs help provide the stability and support people need in their lives to plan for the future, to access resources, and ultimately, to become housed.

Sanitation and black water dumping are critical components of any safe parking program. These are cost-effective, humane approaches to triaging a housing and shelter crisis that will reduce conflicts with housed neighbors and improve the quality of life of everyone in our community.

We remain concerned that the Oversized Vehicle Ordinance criminalizes those living in their vehicles, and that the practical effect of the proposed ordinance is more disruptive than supportive. There will be an increase in the number of parking citations and towed vehicles, and a corresponding increase in the number of people sleeping in tents, alleys, and doorways when the city takes away the only meager shelter people have.

Instead of making it illegal for our unhoused neighbors to remain in their vehicles, we need to be offering solutions that provide stability, and pathways towards permanent housing.

Sincerely,
Elizabeth Conlan

Subject: Item 31 City Council Agenda 4/12/22
Dear Honorable City Council Members,
I am writing to address item 31 on the council's agenda for the April 12th, 2022 meeting, concerning the Oversized Vehicle Ordinance. While watching the March 3rd meeting of the Planning Commission I was personally shocked at the number of revisions to the conditions of approval which came forward, as proposed by Commissioner Schiffrin. This is especially due to the financially unrealistic nature of the revised conditions and their being made without any genuine attempts to allow other commissioners time to process the numerous changes made. These revisions simply represent an attempt to undermine the Oversized Vehicle Ordinance by creating such infeasible conditions of approval that the city could never meet its obligations, rendering the entire ordinance unenforceable. Please accept the current recommendation in the agenda report which mitigates the worst of the Planning Commission's amendments.

Thank you for your consideration,

Dear Council,
Yes, I've included a bit of a form letter, oh well, but the original RV ordinance was plenty fair enough for everyone concerned.

I have personal knowledge that some RV squatters have been here for years, and laugh at the notion they should be doing anything different besides squatting on our streets, moving around in wack-a-mole enforcement, and are basically still here and everywhere laughing it up.

Let me give them a clue and some valuable mentoring. They need to figure out EVERYDAY, what they can do to make their lives like they want them to be, then have the DISAPLINE, and accept RESPONSIBILITY, to do SOMETHING every day to make their lives like they want them to be, which isn't what they are doing which is living on the public dole doing nothing.

Dear Mayor Brunner and Council Members,
SUPPORT: I support the Oversized Vehicle Ordinance and the Conditions of Approval as recommended by staff. I do not support the extensively amended Conditions the Planning Commission passed, as they would hollow out the OVO into nothingness.

I appreciate the hard work and many hours that City Staff, Council Members (particularly the Ad Hoc Committee Members) and ordinary citizens put into developing the OVO. I thank you all for your efforts tackling this difficult issue that's been vexing the City for years. The OVO is a good start at remedying some of negative effects of folks living on the public streets in their RVs, particularly on the West Side and Harvey West neighborhoods.

PROCESS: The Planning Commission's extensive changes to the Conditions of Approval effectively negate the OVO entirely. The Planning Commission is an unelected advisory body to the City Council. It is not the Planning Commission's role to overturn Council passed ordinances. I suggest that Council look into how and why this happened at the Planning Commission and take corrective action so that the Planning Commission does not repeat this on another matter. The voters of the City of Santa Cruz elect Council Members to create laws and make public policy. The voters do not elect Planning Commissioners and certainly do not give them authority to overturn Council passed ordinances.

I do not wish to criminalize homelessness. Rather allow for equitable, peaceful environment on the SHARED streets of Santa Cruz. Our streets are littered with garbage, human excrement and drugs and I’m fed up. My residential street is not set up to be an RV park, to have garbage/sanitation and bathroom facilities to support people living in their vehicles. So unless the city wants to provide those services at my doorstep then we need to get these oversized to an appropriate area. Furthermore with the amount of space these vehicles take up, it reduces the amount of public parking available, thereby limiting coastal access. So please share that with the high and mighty coastal commission.

That you for your time and consideration.

While I am in support of the creation of services that are mentioned in the Oversized Vehicle Ordinance, they do not justify the criminalization of people living in their vehicles. Even with the additions from the permit issued by the Planning Commission that do a more earnest job of trying to combat the harm this criminalizing ordinance will cause, it will still lead to an increase in ticketing, towing, and thus unsheltered homelessness in our community. Furthermore, tying the provision of services to criminalizing measures is not creative, it is a long failed policy tactic.

We already have laws that criminalize people living in their vehicles, we do not need more. Former Chief of Police Andy Mills and City Attorney Tony Condotti admitted in plain language at previous council meetings that this ordinance was designed to create a more efficient way for the city to be able to prosecute people living in their oversized vehicles. Council member Renee Golder’s admission in her appeal letter stating that she is concerned that the addition of evidenced based guidelines and services for safe parking programs would have an, “impact on the ordinance in accomplishing its stated purpose” further reifies that the primary goal is not to help people but to penalize and banish them from our city.

If the goal of this appeal by Council member Golder is to remove the humane conditions granted by the Planning Commission permit, it will be clearer than ever that every time council members have said, “action is compassion”, or “perfect is the enemy of good, we must act now!”, they were completely disingenuous.

In writing this letter I want to make it clear that I am not happy with the Oversized Vehicle Ordinance, nor do I find it a good use of the council’s time in appealing this permit that was issued by the Planning Commission.

We should be spending the time, money and energy on providing much needed services, without the threat of criminalization.

Emma Ledvina

Subject: Item 31: Support for OVO as Outlined In Agenda 4/12 Report Dear City Council,
We all have seen young and old sleeping in their cars, vans,trucks, tents, trailers and motor homes throughout SC. Please find a safe, permanent parking area where the area can be managed and kept clean of garbage, rodents, broken down bikes and Drugs. (Not for just a few, as the city has done in the past) Find many smaller areas throughout the county that would work. These people are coming from out of our area and landing in SC. Is it SC responsibility to find a safe sleeping area for all? Start by focusing on our locals and offering them the help that’s needed. How many times is SC going to waste money and time by cleaning up the same areas. It’s obvious SC can’t keep up with the influx of campers on our streets and along the freeway.

The committee’s and money spent on this issue hasn’t worked. Its time to make changes that will work. SC needs responsible ppl on committees that generally want to put in the effort to help with this ongoing project.

The ppl on the street, ones that are more capable than others need to have a purpose. They need jobs within their camping community. Ppl to keep area safe and clean. Many are talented but need on going guidance with projects. SC needs to pick devoted people, not behind the desk ppl that can’t relate to the needs of these campers, down on their luck, mentally ill and drug problems. Maybe ppl who have lived this lifestyle and worked their way out would be the ones to help head up this project, along with social workers, ppl who have started garden projects, skilled laborers, electricians and builders. It would take many devoted people with different skills to make this project work. Help the ppl in need with the right resources and don’t let the funding get lost in bureaucracy. The Lower Westside has been significantly impacted by the consequences of unsanctioned large vehicle camping on our streets. We supported the original OVO passed in November 2021.

Hello,
While I am in support of the creation of services that are mentioned in the Oversized Vehicle Ordinance, they do not justify the criminalization of people living in their vehicles. Even with the additions from the permit issued by the Planning Commission that do a more earnest job of trying to combat the harm this criminalizing ordinance will cause, it will still lead to an increase in ticketing, towing, and thus unsheltered homelessness in our community. Furthermore, tying the provision of services to criminalizing measures is a long failed policy tactic. I know we have a better solution.

We should be spending the time, money and energy on providing much needed services, without the threat of criminalization.

Thank you,
Nicola

The current RV situation camping on city streets is totally unfair to tenants and homeowners. They shouldn’t have to tolerate trash, noise, drug use and nightly theft after paying their hard earned rent/ property tax money to the city. They are causing significant harm to our community.

I don't support any of the planning commission or ACLU changes to the Oversize Vehicle Ordinance. Santa Cruz owes these people nothing. It's a county/state problem. Our dollars need to go to education and social programs to benefit Santa Cruzans, not people that drift in with their motor homes and decide its cool to park by the beach and trash our city.

Please don't use my tax dollars to fund/relocate these people and certainly, veto the provision that allows them to stay for whatever reason. That just means the ordinance has no teeth.

We prefer that the Council include vans less than 20' in length. Our neighborhood has a constant stream of overnight campers who live in smaller vans. They move on a circuit around the City returning to our area once or twice a week. Some have been returning4 to the neighborhood regularly for more than 18 months. The public streets should not be used for overnight camping whatsoever.

Thank you to the Councilmembers that passed the oversized vehicle ordinance. Please institute the reasonable and fair guidelines to improve the quality of life for all residents. It is important to put the program in place before the summer months bring even more oversized RVs.

My neighborhood in the lower westside has become a RV campground with no consideration for the residents or the cleanliness of our streets and parks. There is a bus-sized RV parked at the end of my street with a companion car 3-4 days a week. Once they leave another oversized RV arrives. In summer, the situation worsens. Delaware, Shaffer Rd, and Natural Bridges were a RV ghetto until recent months when police finally made a heroic effort to tow unregistered vehicles and move others along. It isn’t fair to our neighborhoods or to law abiding residents of RVs who need a safe place to park with sanitation.

Thank you for serving as Councilmembers.

Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers,
Please, city council members, leave the who must live in their RV’s alone. Provide bathrooms and trash/ garbage pickup and safety for those RV dwellers with out a real roof over their heads.

This could be any of us at any time. Compassion is required now.

Subject: Item 31: Support for OVO as Outlined In Agenda 4/12 Report Dear City Council Members,
Many of the Citizens of Santa Cruz are concerned about the previous lack of support for families and businesses in Santa Cruz. The wayward direction of the prior Council is what led to the recall of two of its prior members (Glover and Krohn) who failed to represent the greater majority of the citizens of the community. Many of us have been encouraged by the direction of this most recently elected Council.

As members of the Council are aware, the lower Westside has been significantly impacted by the consequences of overnight camping and unsanctioned large vehicle camping on our streets. We supported the original OVO passed in November 2021. (Thank you Renee for initiating the current review). Unfortunately it appears that the Planning Commission has attempted to unlawfully overturn the direction of the duly elected Council at the urging of outside influence.

Voters supported the original OVO provisions as outlined in the current city staff agenda report dated 4/12/22 and it should not be amended.

Thank you

Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers,
As a city council appointed past member of the Public Safety Task Force by Mayor Bryant 7+ years ago... and after listening to the citizens of the city Santa Cruz over the period of a year+ concerned about illegal street
camping, noise, trash, gray and black water dumping, drug dealing, etc, etc....

We, the Task Force, presented our recommendations to Council and they were accepted by Council. I suggest each one of you
as council (except Rene, as she was on the Task Force with me) read our report.

Get it done!!! It has been over 7+ years! I am very disappointed in those 2 remaining council members not supporting this.

I am a long time resident of Santa Cruz, and have personally witnessed large amounts of garbage being left on the side of the road beside older RVs and on the curbs on Delaware Ave near Natural Bridges State Beach, which, as you know, is one of the most important monarch butterfly overwintering sanctuaries in Northern and Central California, in addition to being a State Park frequently visited by families with children. I believe it is in the best interest of the community, the parks and the ocean environment to regulate parking by oversized vehicles in Santa Cruz.

We are very thankful to the 5 Councilmembers who passed the oversized vehicle ordinance. We certainly don't understand why the Planning Commission, which we believe is appointed by you, is not going along with this. There is broad support for this ordinance among Santa Cruz residents, very few oppose it.

In our neighborhood, these oversized vehicles frequently have out of state license plates, are large and expensive appearing, and people are clearly here vacationing at the beach without having to spend money on Motels or hotels or on meals as they cook in these large RVs and watch their large TV's at night with generators on top making significant noise.

This should also not be. How do I know this. Several of them have printing on them advertising, " rent this vehicle to see the country". They stay for several or more days and take up spaces our surfers would normally be able to use when they go surfing, and that is a shame
Please do the right thing and keep parking restrictions in place. Thank you.

The new proposal by the Planning Commission looks to make the work of creating safe space and helping with vehicles all on the City of Santa Cruz. By removing the County's responsibility, even though it is the county that provides many of the services, put unfair financial burden on our city.

Honorable Mayor, Vice Mayor, and council,
re Item 31, Yes- the Planning Commissioners (4 of them anyway) acted out of the scope of their charge when making/ accepting the amendments to the . Unfortunately, you're all wasting your time. Here's why:
1-There will never be "enough capacity" in your 3 tiers to allow enforcement of the "Oversized Vehicle Ordinance." Never. Which means that street parking will always be impacting somebody/ somewhere... and those "somebodies" will have zero say in the matter.
2-The Police Department has proven completely ineffectual when addressing areas prior to being impacted by hordes of transients, as well as areas with a history of being impacted. I find it interesting that there are currently (and have been for some time) laws governing vehicles that are completely ignored. Vehicles must be registered annually, and they must be insured- or the registered owners must file a non-operator claim and park off street. To my knowledge, this has never been enforced on transients (only people with means are at risk). 3-Lastly, EVEN IF! there were a legitimate law enforcement agency set to enforce your OVO, the penalties are citations that won't get paid, and so what then? Tow the vehicles? Tow them to where? The only items of the PL's action summary you should be concerned with if you plan to continue with this charade are their desire to NOT include areas of the county outside of the city limits, and the costs of social services to be paid for by the City and not the county. The E-N-T-I-R-E COUNTY needs to become involved.

It is not lost on me that this entire endeavor has no foothold in reality, and its future is largely contingent upon the increase of yet another regressive tax measure on the June Ballot. Ironic, huh? Be well.

Subject: Item 31: Support for OVO as Outlined In Agenda 4/12 Report Dear City Council,
I am writing to express my support for the OVO in its original form that was passed in November of 2021. I live on the Lower Westside and frequently jog and bike with my children in areas that have been heavily impacted by large vehicles intruding into the bike lanes, cluttering the sidewalks with stuff, etc. These vehicles monopolize public space and make it unsafe to use our city's sidewalks.

Thank you, Renee Golder, for initiating the current review of the ordinance. I appreciate the work the city has done to establish a safe spaces parking program and appreciate the inclusion of county sites in the identified parking places on city and county property. I support the original OVO provisions as outlined in the current city staff agenda report dated 4/12/22.

Thank you,
Krista Cook

Subject: Enforce the oversized vehicle ordinance - please do not let the Planning Commission turn the streets into RV parking lots
Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers,
Thank you to the 5 Councilmembers that passed the oversized vehicle ordinance. Don’t let the Planning Commission undermine the ordinance by making it unenforceable. Those urging the Council to vote YES outnumbered the NO vote by nearly 10 to 1.

Some of the changes suggested by some on the Planning Commission seem outrageous, like having the City seek funding for mobile mechanics to assist participants as needed. “As needed”, really? Replace a head gasket, coolant flush, oil and filter change, timing belt, … ? So, now the streets/parking areas are auto shop garages too? Auto shop garages are set up to work on vehicles safely and properly deal with their various environmentally hazardous fluids, city streets/parking areas are not.

Dear Councilmembers,
First, thank you for your service. As a 50 plus year resident, home and business owner in Santa Cruz and as someone who has been active in trying to help restore our neighborhood safety (Westside SC), I was so dismayed by the recent change that the Planning Commission brought forth without public or legal feedback . So thank you to the 5 Councilmembers that passed the oversized vehicle ordinance. Don’t let the Planning Commission undermine your hard work.

With nearly 1,000 emails received for the 9/21 introduction and the first reading, there is broad support for this ordinance.

Those urging the Council to vote YES outnumbered the NO vote by nearly 10 to 1.

The City should enforce common-sense rules for RVs that will do the following:
* Reduce public health risks caused by poor sanitation and needles. Protect us against situations like the drug dealing couple that park in an oversized old school bus near our house, urinate in the street, keep barking dogs inside the bus all day without care (and yes many neighbors have notified the city..they have been tagged but know how to move around). * Better protect the oceans and environment
* Increase neighborhood safety for children
* Create a better situation for local businesses, their customers and employees Thank you for reading this,
Val

Moreover, the plethora of oversized vehicles parking along the streets of Santa Cruz has to have an impact on the view of tourists to our great vacation destination spot. It's just a shame.

Sign At Natural Bridges
Hello,
I am writing this email to you to express a concern that I have about a street at the Delaware and Natural Bridges intersection. This intersection is highly known for people doing donuts and drifts because of its circular shape and low quantity of foot traffic at night. I was previously caught by police doing donuts at this place myself and I want to help save other people from getting in trouble or hurting others there by trying to get a sign installed that expresses police presence. I think a sign that flashes blue and red and indicates police presence would be perfect. It would scare people off and keep pedestrians safe as well as keep drivers away from breaking the law. Please let me know your thoughts on this and if you would like to proceed. I would be interested in helping out in any way possible.

Subject: re: OVO on agenda for 4/12
Dear Santa Cruz City Council, I support the Planning Commission's attempts to reduce the harm caused by the Oversized Vehicle Ordinance, but I do not support the Oversized Vehicle Ordinance. Many in the city did not support the OVO when it was pushed through earlier this year because of unanswered questions about access to the safe sleeping program. The Planning Commission recently did a much better job of ensuring that the safe parking spaces outlined in OVO are not just empty promises. It is incredibly disappointing that we are wasting valuable time and energy revisiting the ordinance after these common sense improvements. The Ordinance is still an egregious attempt to ticket and tow our unhoused neighbors out of town (rather than doing our duty as a city to provide compassionate care and housing for all). However, the Planning Commission attempted to make it more humane, which was crucial. One clear change is introducing the 72 hour pause on tickets if mechanical issues, lack of fuel, and physical and/or emotional difficulties block one's ability to move their vehicle. In November, I had a chance to door knock and speak with those who live in oversized vehicles alongside Delaware Street, and folks already mentioned the cost of gas as a huge barrier to being in compliance with OVO's rules. Gas is obviously *much* more expensive now than in November, so this 72 hour window is important, and should stay.

We should be spending the time, money and energy on providing much needed services, without the threat of criminalization.

When community issues arise, we as citizens are urged to reach out to our city government and representatives. We are encouraged to follow a process and are told that this is how we can be heard.

If we are doing our duty as citizens and property owners and are following the protocol in asking for our neighborhoods and homes to be preserved and protected in the most basic ways, we must be able to have confidence that we have the ability to enact change. If we do not receive the support from our elected representatives, this entire process is at risk.

Laws and ordinances are meaningless if they are ignored by those who break them and there are no consequences from those who are tasked with enforcement.

PLEASE continue to move forward with this longstanding issue and make the changes that we need to keep these RVs and overnight campers from continuing to ignore the ordinances that are already in place.

PLEASE pass and enforce the oversized vehicle ordinance.

For me family, the biggest issue is the neighborhood safety of children, the safety of elderly residents who want to walk the neighborhood and bike to the Farmers market on the west side, and help the local businesses who are already struggling to receive the support they need.

Thank you for serving as Councilmembers.

Subject: Fw: City Council Review for Oversized Vehicle Ordinance April 12 Dear Mayor and City Council,
I just read this email below regarding up coming meeting on April 12th Oversized Vehicle Ordinance. Very disturbed about reading this email. I am not sure if there is any truth to the 4 subjects matters they are requesting. I am totally against what is or has happened to our beautiful City of Santa Cruz. The take over of our parks, river walk ways, beaches, downtown, neighborhoods, shopping areas, clock tower and many more hidden areas in Santa Cruz. The concern for children, tourist, and elderly that are frighten to see or go to these areas that have been taken over by the homeless. Not sure where these people are coming from? Being bused in or dropped off by whom is so questionable. We need to take our City back...clean it up. This is not fair to tax paying citizens. That have contributed/paid their fair shares of taxes for many years to be living comfortable and safe in Santa Cruz. There is fear being around or driving pass these areas that I have mentioned above. Sorry to say or ask what have these homeless groups or people contributed to our city of Santa Cruz? This has become an ugly monster in our streets. These demands and requests never seem to STOP from these homeless groups/ individuals. Very concerned that we are losing out town. Sincerely, Michelle and Bob Griffin ----- Forwarded Message -----

In addition, please consider some sort of parking and overnight camping enforcement on the lower west side. If we need to move toward permit parking please do so. There are no fewer than 10 vehicles on our street who sleep here every night and have been doing so for many years. I have taken photos and provided them on numerous occasions. These vehicles would not be impacted by this ban, and as such will continue to abuse our yards, sidewalks and streets, as well as the parking spaces on West Cliff, two of those vans have been parking there daily for YEARS. Every single day. Zero enforcement,
Any attention to this matter would not only be greatly appreciated, it would be a shock due to consistently inaction by both the City Council and the PD.

Thank you,

Dear Honorable Mayor and Council Members,
Please pass the oversized vehicle ordinance for the following reasons:

A) We pay property taxes for the right to live in Santa Cruz. Others should not get around these taxes by parking on the street overnight.

B) Santa Cruz has strict zoning codes. We are not allowed to turn our property into a campground. Please don't let others turn our streets into campgrounds.

C) Our experience is that overnight campers do not respect privacy or public health. We regularly need to clean our street of trash after an RV has parked over night.

D) If space is need for RVs, the city can consider buying land and opening an RV park. The park can have proper outlets and sanitation.

E) Safety of our child is of utmost importance. We do not feel safe letter our child ride bikes in high‐RV areas. The reasons are health and safety related (discarded needles are very dangerous). Please help keep our streets save.
