New RV Parking Rules Start in June

Redondo Beach residents who want to park their RVs at their homes between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. will have register their vehicles with the city and obtain a permit, according to a news release from the Redondo Beach Police Department. The new ordinance comes into effect June 1.

In the news release, police spokesman Sgt. Phil Keenan said the new rules were "three years in the making."

"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," Keenan wrote. "In essence, the new ordinance restricts the overnight parking of RVs."

Redondo Beach residents who have already registered their oversized vehicles in the city must pay a one-time fee of $20 for a permit. The permit fee for unregistered oversized vehicles is $30.

RVers visiting Redondo Beach residents can obtain a temporary permit to park their vehicle for up to seven days. These permits cost $15.

The City Council approved the registration and permit fees during its April 19 meeting.

An oversized vehicle is one that either exceeds 22 feet in length or measures more than 8 feet high and 7 feet wide.
