New RV Parking Rules In Effect

New rules for recreational vehicle parking on residential streets on weekdays between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. go into effect Wednesday.

Owners with RVs measuring more than 8 feet high and 7 feet wide or exceeding 22 feet in length must now register their vehicles with the city and obtain a permit to park on the weekends, according to the ordinance passed in October.

Redondo Beach residents who have already registered their oversized vehicles in the city must pay a one-time fee of $20. If the RV is registered outside the city but owned by a Redondo Beach resident, the one-time fee is $30. Once RV owners pay the fee, they can request up to six free single-day parking permits per month, municipal enforcement officer Patty Ziello told the Daily Breeze. Single-day permits are valid Tuesdays through Fridays from midnight until 11:59 p.m, and residents may request up to 60 permits per year.

Oversized vehicle parking passes valid for seven days are also available for people visiting the city. Residents may request up to three of these $15 permits each year.

People who park oversized vehicles in violation of the city code must pay a $125 civil penalty.

"The new law balances the interests of those who want to limit overnight parking for RV owners and those RV owners that want to park their RV on the street," spokesman Sgt. Phil Keenan wrote in a May news release. "In essence, the new ordinance restricts the overnight parking of RVs."
