Sec. 34-1. - Violation of written promises to appear.¶

(Code 1959, §§ 16-52.1—16-52.3; Ord. No. 3868, § 1 (part))
Sec. 34-3. - Storage of vehicles.¶
(a) No motor vehicle shall be stored or parked on private property in any zoning district except in an enclosed building unless such vehicle is capable of movement under its own power.
(b) Motor homes, boats, camper bodies, boat trailers, travel trailers and other trailers, and recreational vehicles (RV's) stored or parked on private property in any zoning district shall be located on an approved cement or asphalt surface, pursuant to section 58-234, to the rear of the front yard setback or beyond the street side yard setback area and screened with a six-foot-high wall as defined in the comprehensive zoning ordinance.
(c) It is recognized that the physical attributes of properties, including size, shape, and location of existing structure, may prohibit access for recreational vehicles beyond the front yard setback. It is further recognized that residents must, insofar as possible, be protected from unnecessary traffic hazards and negative aesthetic impacts. To accommodate these competing interests, the following exceptions to subsection (b) of this section have been developed:
(1) The provisions in this subsection pertaining to exceptions are applicable only to recreational vehicles which are capable of movement by their own power only and apply in all zoning districts except for the Phillips Ranch Specific Plan Zone or to properties which are regulated by covenants, conditions, and restrictions which prohibit the storage of recreational vehicles within front yard setbacks. The city planner shall consider all reasonable alternate sites within the parcel involved, including, if feasible, the rear or side yards, to avoid, to the extent feasible, the location of designated parking areas in areas visible from the public street. Such alternate sites shall be eliminated from consideration only when the side yard is insufficient in width to accommodate the width of a recreational vehicle and there is no other rear yard access to the site such as via an adjacent side street or alley. No recreational vehicle shall be granted an exception unless such vehicle is registered to an individual who resides at the property for which the exception is requested. If such is the case, the vehicle shall be stored at all times in an area designated by the city planner. In no case shall the designated location obstruct access to a garage or carport area. Such spaces shall be known as designated parking areas. In approving a designated parking area, the city planner must find that all requirements of section 58-234 are met and that the storage of the recreational vehicle within a designated parking area will not encroach into the public right-of-way, prohibit service to utility equipment or obstruct the visibility of oncoming pedestrian/vehicular traffic. The city planner may also impose conditions to ensure that community health, safety and welfare standards are met. Further, the city planner may specify the dimensions and location of such designated parking area; establish appropriate conditions for screening, including walls, shrubbery, or other material; and establish other conditions deemed reasonably necessary to protect the value of other properties in the immediate neighborhood.
(2) The owner of a recreational vehicle who seeks to have such vehicle qualified for an exception shall apply for a permit. The permit will be valid only for the recreational vehicle listed in each application. Subsequent recreational vehicles purchased will require a new permit. The permit process shall be set forth in accordance with the following:
a. The applicant shall submit to the city planner a written application along with the following documentation:
The department of motor vehicle registration for the recreational vehicle for which the exception is requested.
A plot plan showing existing conditions of the property and the proposed designated parking area.
A radius map and list consisting of property and business owners' names and mailing addresses for all properties within a radius of 150 feet from the external boundaries of the property of the proposed designated parking area.
b. Upon receipt of a complete application package, the city planner shall prepare written notice which states the name of the applicant, the proposed location and that a site plan and supporting documents are available for public inspection at the offices of the city planning division. The notice shall state that interested persons may submit written comments to the city planner within five working days from the mailing date of such notice.
c. Copies of the application and site plan shall be routed to the public works/traffic division. The traffic division shall review the application to ensure that the storage of the recreational vehicle will not create a visibility hazard for traffic.
d. The city planner shall determine if the requested application warrants the exception and which, if any, restrictions may be conditioned with the approval in accordance with the following:
Approved request. If the application is approved, the city planner shall issue a permit, in the form of a decal, which shall be placed on either the lower left corner of the rear window or on the left side of the rear bumper.
Denied request. If the request is denied, the applicant may appeal the denial pursuant to the process set forth in this Code.
Appeal. The decision of the city planner shall be final, unless a written appeal is filed with the planning division within ten days after the written decision by the city planner. The applicant and property owners within a 150-foot radius from the proposed storage vehicles may appeal the decision of the city planner to the planning commission. The appeal shall be considered by the planning commission as a consent item. The decision of the planning commission shall be final, unless a written appeal to the city council is filed with the planning division within ten days of the planning commission's decision. A member of the city council may request an appeal of the planning commission's decision. Any councilmember who requests a review before the city council must request and obtain a majority vote of the city council in order to set the appeal for a public hearing. The decision of the city council shall be final.
e. A permit shall be revoked by the city planner if any of the following restrictions are violated:
The vehicle shall be parked within the area designated for recreational vehicle storage.
The vehicle's appearance shall be maintained in a clean and orderly manner.
The vehicle shall be registered to an occupant of the subject property.
f. Each applicant for a designated parking permit shall pay a nonrefundable application fee to cover the cost of processing and public noticing of such application. The amount of the fee shall be set by resolution adopted by the city council.

(b) The distribution of handbills shall be permitted only if done by securely affixing them to a doorknob, gate, gatepost, or other suitable hardware or similar stationary object in the area around the door or gate in such a manner that the handbills are unlikely to fall, be blown from, or scattered about the premises. The distribution of handbills upon parked vehicles shall be permitted only if done by securely affixing the handbills to the vehicle in such a manner that the handbills are unlikely to fall or be blown from the vehicle.
(c) No handbills shall be distributed if there is a conspicuous sign stating "no handbills" or other similar language indicating that the occupant or owner does not desire to receive such material or if the occupant or owner has verbally communicated such.
(d) No handbills shall be left on the ground or left upon vacant property, yards, driveways, porches, parkways, sidewalks, or streets without being securely affixed to a doorknob, gate, gatepost, or other suitable hardware or similar stationary object in the area around the door or gate in such a manner that the handbills are unlikely to fall, be blown from, or scattered about the premises.
