TITLE
Recommendation to declare ordinance amending the Long Beach Municipal Code by amending Sections 10.24.005, 10.24.077, 10.24.078, 10.24.079, and 10.24.080; by adding Section 10.24.081; and by repealing Section 10.24.076, all relating to parking of oversized vehicles, read and adopted as read.

DISCUSSION
This office has prepared and now submits for your consideration the attach amendments to Long Beach Municipal Code Section 10.24.078 et seq., prohibiting parking of an oversized vehicle, as defined, on residential streets in the City of Long Beach, without a valid permit issued by the Department of Public Works, Traffic Engineering division. Residents and their sponsored visitors would be able to park oversized vehicles registered to them adjacent to their residences for a maximum of seventy-two (72) consecutive hours. An annual maximum of twenty (20) oversized vehicle permits could be issued to a resident.

Pursuant to Council motion on June 11, 2017, the following exceptions to the oversized vehicle permit requirement have also been included:

· Exceptions to the 72-hour parking limit and the 20-permit annual maximum may be requested in writing from the Traffic Engineer upon a showing of good cause. Applicants will be required to show proof of a current, valid rental or other agreement for storage of the applicant's oversized vehicle.

· An exception may be requested in writing from the City Traffic Engineer if an oversized vehicle otherwise prohibited by Section 10.24.080 is used on a daily basis and on-premises parking is not reasonably available. A permit issued based on this finding shall not be valid for longer than six months.

· The request to place an item on the Planning Commission agenda to allow oversized vehicles to be parked outside of an enclosure will be handled separately.
