MEMORANDUM
RANCHO PALOS VERDES
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR & CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: KIT FOX, AICP, SENIOR ADMINISTRATIVE ANALYST
DATE: SEPTEMBER 15, 2015
SUBJECT: LETTER OPPOSING ASSEMBLY BILL NO. 718 (AB 718)
REGARDING SLEEPING AND/OR RESTING IN
PARKED VEHICLES
REVIEWED BY: DOUG WILLMORE, CITY MANAGER 9/w
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the Mayor to sign a letter opposing Assembly Bill No. 718 (AB 718) regarding
sleeping and/or resting in parked vehicles, which could effectively invalidate the City's
current prohibition against using a parked vehicle as a dwelling unit for human habitation.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The enactment of AB 718 has the potential to invalidate an existing City ordinance
prohibiting the use of motor vehicles as dwelling units. Therefore, Staff presents a letter
opposing AB 718 for the City Council's consideration and approval.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with authorizing the Mayor to sign a letter opposing
AB 718.
BACKGROUND
In February 2015, Assembly Bill No. 718 (AB 718) was introduced by 25th District State
Assemblymember Kansen Chu (Milpitas). AB 718 started out making non -substantive
changes to the State's Vehicle Code with respect to vehicle impounding. However, by
the time that the bill had passed through the State Assembly (by a 56-15-10 vote) and on
to the State Senate in June 2015, it had been amended to read as follows:
1
MEMORANDUM: Letter Opposing AB 718
September 15, 2015
Page 2
SECTION 1. The Legislature finds and declares that the provisions of
this measure address the health and safety of homeless individuals, a
matter of statewide concern, and that therefore, they apply to charter cities,
charter counties, and charter cities and counties.
SEC. 2. Section 50034 is added to the Government Code, to read:
50034. The legislative body of a city, county, or city and county shall not
prohibit or otherwise subject to civil or criminal penalties, or remove and
impound a motor vehicle by reason of, the act of sleeping or resting in a
lawfully parked motor vehicle.
The mayor and police chief of Palos Verdes Estates sent a letter opposing AB 718 to
Assemblymember Chu, which was approved by the Palos Verdes Estates City Council
on June 23, 2015 (see attachments). While under review in the State Senate, AB 718
was further amended in July 2015 to provide several exemptions, to wit:
Nothing in this section shall be interpreted to do any of the following:
(1) Prohibit a law enforcement officer from arresting, citing, or otherwise
penalizing an occupant of a motor vehicle for any criminal activity or
violation of the Vehicle Code.
(2) Exempt an occupant of a motor vehicle from compliance with any
state or local law, including those relating to litter, sanitation, alcohol or drug
consumption, weapons possession, animal control, or noise control.
(3) Exempt a vehicle owner from compliance with a local ordinance that
restricts the use of public streets for vehicle storage.
As of the date that this report was completed, a third and final reading of AB 718 was
expected in the Senate at any time, after which it will be returned to the Assembly for
concurrence with the Senate's amendments before (presumably) being presented to the
governor for his approval or veto.
The League of California Cites (League) has identified AB 718 as a "hot" bill and taken a
position opposing it on the basis that it is not appropriate for the Legislature to attempt to
remove local government authority to appropriately protect the public health, safety and
welfare of residents from issues that arise when people live in cars and trucks parked on
public and private property; and that, rather than sanctioning automotive living, the
Legislature and Governor should focus on increasing investment in and incentives for the
development of affordable, transitional and emergency housing to address the shelter
needs of the homeless (see attachments). Staff believes that the enactment of AB 718
has the potential to adversely affect the City, so Staff presents a letter opposing the bill
for the City Council's consideration at tonight's meeting.

DISCUSSION
As currently proposed, AB 718 would prohibit the City from citing, removing or impounding
a vehicle that is otherwise lawfully parked solely because the owner/occupant is sleeping
or resting in the vehicle. It would not appear to prevent the City from enforcing existing,
otherwise lawful parking restrictions on public streets and in public parks and parking lots.
However, it may have the effect of invalidating the following provision of the Rancho Palos
Verdes Municipal Code (RPVMC):
10.04.090 - Parking vehicles that are being used as a dwelling unit for
habitation — Prohibited.
No person shall park any type of motorized or nonmotorized vehicle that is
being occupied or used as a dwelling upon any highway, roadway, parkway,
street, public right-of-way or parking lot within the city. This section shall not
apply to vehicles parked on private property for which a temporary guest
permit has been issued by the director of planning, building and code
enforcement pursuant to Section 8.24.060(A)(6)(e) of this code. (Ord. 423
§ 1, 2005)
AB 718 does not define what is meant by "resting," leaving its interpretation and
enforceability completely unclear. Furthermore, although AB 718 purports to exempt its
enforcement from existing City regulations for the storage of motor vehicles of public
streets, this may not offer sufficient protection of residents' health, safety and welfare. In
the absence of posted prohibitions regarding the days and hours for on -street parking
(such as for street sweeping), motor vehicles may generally be parked on public streets
for at least seventy-two (72) hours at any particular location before they are subject to
citation.
The City has enacted resident -only permit parking in several neighborhoods in order to
address area -specific parking issues. Enacting similar restrictions on a broader scale in
response to AB 718 might be a possibility, but Staff believes that it will place an
unreasonable burden on many City residents. Furthermore, as the City Council has
recently seen with the proposal for resident -only permit parking on Channelview Court
near the Terranea Resort, it may be difficult or impossible to impose these types of
parking restrictions on public streets in neighborhoods located within the City's coastal
zone.
In addition to the above-described direct conflicts of AB 718 with the provisions of RPVMC
Section 10.04.090, Staff believes that AB 718 may also conflict with other Municipal Code
provisions regarding the parking of motor vehicles in the City, to wit:

Section 5.28.060
Peddling from a motorized vehicle
Section 8.24.060(A)(6)

Unauthorized parking on public or private property
Chapter 10.08
Authority to remove vehicles
Chapter 10.12
Abandoned vehicles
Chapter 10.36
On -street parking of oversized vehicles
As mentioned above, AB 718 was still pending approval in the State Senate at the time
that this report was completed. In the event that it has been returned to the State
Assembly for concurrence and/or approved for submittal to the governor by tonight's
meeting, the attached draft opposition letter will be revised accordingly and provided to
the City Council as late correspondence.
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the Mayor to sign a letter
opposing AB 718. If adopted, Staff will transmit this letter to our State legislators and the
League.
ALTERNATIVES
In addition to the Staff recommendation, the following alternative action is available for
the City Council's consideration:
1. Do not authorize the Mayor to sign a letter opposing AB 718. This is a "hot" bill
that the League and many California cities and counties (including Palos Verdes
Estates) are already opposing.

AB 718 (Chu) — Removal of Regulatory Authority: Vehicles Used For Human Habitation
Notice of Opposition
Dear Assembly Member Chu:
On behalf of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes, I write to inform of our opposition to AB 718, which would
prohibit local agencies from enforcing laws and ordinances, or otherwise subject to civil or criminal
penalties, the act of people sleeping or resting in a lawfully parked motor vehicle.
While a vehicle may be "lawfully parked" in a residential neighborhood or in the parking lot of a business,
that does not mean that it is acceptable to have people live there. The issues raised by AB 718 are less
about parking, and more about the use of vehicles for human habitation, including sleeping and "resting"
in front of existing homes and businesses.
City parking locations whether on public or private property _,other than campgrounds — were never
intended or designed for residential occupancy. Such uses raise major issues of sanitation as well as the
ability of residents to feel secure in their homes and enable the conduct of business activity.
This measure should be rejected. Cities work hard to balance all of the needs of their communities. It is
simply not appropriate for the Legislature to attempt to remove local government authority to appropriately
protect the public health, safety and welfare of their residents from issues that arise when people live outside
of campgrounds in cars and trucks parked on public and private property. These are not easy issues to deal
with, but they cannot responsibly be ignored.
What is most needed to combat homelessness is funding for affordable housing and emergency shelters.
There are several major pending measures that can help restore funds for affordable housing; we encourage
legislators to support additionalfunding for affordable housing and homeless solutions
As current proposed, AB 718 would effectively invalidate key provisions of the Rancho Palos Verdes
Municipal Code regarding the use of vehicles as dwelling units. Furthermore, since we are a coastal
community, we face both tremendous demand for public parking in the coastal zone and tremendous
difficulty in imposing new parking restrictions in order to maintain both the availability of coastal -zone
parking and the public health, -safety and welfare of the City's resident and visitors.
Because this measure would undermine local authority to appropriately protect the public health, safety and
welfare of our residents, we must oppose AB 718.
Sincerely,
Jim Knight
Mayor

Agenda Item #: 13
Meeting Date: June 23, 2015
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
THRU: ANTON DAHLERBRUCH, CITY MANAGER
FROM: JOE MENDOZA, ADMINISTRATIVE ANALYST; -;e -C'
SUBJECT: AFFIRMATION OF OPPOSITION TO ASSEMBLY BILL 718 (CHU) -
REMOVAL OF REGULATORY AUTHORITY: VEHICLES USED FOR
HUMAN HABITATION
DATE: JUNE 23, 2015
ISSUE
Shall the City Council affirm, receive and file the attached letter opposing Assembly Bill 718 that
removes local authority to regulate vehicles used for human habitation?
BACKGROUND
Every year, numerous bills are introduced by members of the State legislature. While only a fraction
of bills make it through assigned Assembly and Senate committees, floor votes and eventually to the
Governor for signature, it is important for the City to take early positions on bills that may be
supportive or potentially harmful to the community. The City has frequently relied on the League of
California Cities (League) to advocate on behalf of the City's interests. As a result, when necessary,
the City has weighed in on certain bills joining the League and other member cities to support or
oppose proposed legislation that impacts the delivery of municipal services to Palos Verdes Estates
residents.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
On June 1, 2015, AB 718 Removal of Regulatory Authority Vehicles Used for Human Habitation
proposed by Assembly Member Chu passed the Assembly with a bipartisan vote of 54-12. The
proposed bill prohibits local agencies from enforcing laws and ordinances that prohibit an
individual or individuals sleeping or resting in a lawfully parked motor vehicle on the street. The
Page 1 of 3
City is joining the League's position that City parking locations whether on public or private
property are and were never intended or designed for residential occupancy. Such uses raise major
concerns with health and sanitation, the ability for residents to feel secure in their
homes/neighborhoods and the potential to negatively impact consumers and commercial activity.
As a coastal city, AB 718 would be additionally problematic relative to the safety and welfare of
the community due to the interplay with the Coastal Act, that strictly limits the City's ability to
impose new on -street parking regulations in the Coastal Zone. Although there is no code section
in the Coastal Act that specifically prohibits "No Parking" signs, it is the policies within the Coastal
Act that protect public access, in combination with the Act's broad definition of "development"
that requires local governments to apply for a coastal development permit before posting signs that
prohibit or restrict parking. The California Coastal Commission has approved numerous parking
sign plans for cities throughout the coastal zone however, the parking restrictions must not
inappropriately restrict the public.
The City's Police Department works diligently to protect its community. If AB 718 is enacted, it
will negate the City's current municipal code ordinance on overnight sleeping or camping in a
motor vehicle.
PVEMC Section -12.20.030: Overnight camping on street or alley.
It is unlawful for any person to use any public street or alley for the purpose of overnight
sleeping or camping in a camper, motor home, van or other vehicle. For the purpose of
this section, "overnight" means any portion of the hours between sunset and sunrise. (Ord.
701 § 2 (Exh. 1), 2012; Ord. 326 § 1, 1977)
While AB 718 seeks to remove local authority to regulate such activity, the following potential
community impacts imposed by the bill cannot be avoided:
• By combining the terms "sleeping" and "resting" within a vehicle, the bill appears to be
designed to allow an individual or individuals to live in a vehicle anywhere on either public
or private property where it is not otherwise prohibited to park a vehicle.
The parking of an occupied vehicle for the purposes of "sleeping" or "resting" in front of
a home or business for hours or days, would alarm and worry residents and business owners
of their safety. In addition, parking in the City's commercial area would impact potential
parking spots for costumers. Under AB 718, the bill appears to prohibit a police officer
from asking the individual(s) to move or issuing a citation for noncompliance. Presumably,
if parking restrictions are not posted, the vehicle and its occupants could remain there until
the City adopted an ordinance prohibiting parking in that area.
• The concerns with public health and safety.
• The consumption and use of drugs and alcohol and other activity while an individual or
individuals are "resting" in a motor vehicle.
Staff feels it is not appropriate for the Legislature to attempt to remove local government authority
to appropriately protect the public health, safety and welfare of its community.

With the Legislature scheduled to discuss AB 718 on Wednesday, June 20, and in consultation
with the City Council liaisons for the League of California Cities, per City policy, it was
determined appropriate to immediately prepare and send a letter signed by Mayor Goodhart and
Chief Kepley to Assembly Member Chu in opposition of AB 718. A copy of that letter was also
sent to the League and the City's representatives in the Legislature. Per the City's policy, this
matter is before the City Council for information and affirmation of the liaison's direction and
letter that was sent.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact directly associated with this report.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Affirm, receive and file the letter sent to Legislators.
2. Request further information.
3. Provide alternative direction.
4. Take no action.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The issues raised about this bill are about the use of vehicles for human habitation (sleeping and
resting) or the ability for criminals to potentially have free rein to watch and analyze other vehicles,
homes and businesses. Furthermore, City streets and parking lots were not meant to be used for
residential occupancy.
This report is for the City Council's receipt and file as affinnation of the City Council liaison's
determination to send a letter to Legislators in concurrence with the League of California Cities'
recommendation to oppose AB 718 (Chu) — Removal of Regulatory Authority: Vehicles Used for
Human Habitation and that a letter addressed to Assembly Member Chu, has been sent to the
California State Assembly opposing AB 718.

RE: Opposition to AB 718 (Chu) — Removal of Regulatory Authority: Vehicles Used For Human
Habitation
Dear Assembly Member Chu,
We are writing to express opposition to AB 718, which pre-empts municipalities from enforcing their local
laws and ordinances and specifically allows vehicles to be used for habitation.
Palos Verdes Estates is a coastal city, and as such, AB 718 would be problematic for the safety and welfare
of our residents; not only for the constraints the bill would place upon our Police Department, but also due to
the interplay with the Coastal Act that strictly limits the City's ability to impose new on -street parking
regulations in the Coastal Zone. In our Coastal Zone, this bill would essentially turn any existing street that
does not currently have parking regulations into a potential living area.
While a vehicle may be "lawfully parked" in a residential neighborhood or in a commercial parking lot, that
does not make it acceptable to have individual(s) live in their vehicles. The issues raised by AB 718 are
about the use of vehicles for human habitation (sleeping and resting) or the ability for criminals to potentially
have free rein to watch and analyze other vehicles, homes and businesses. Furthermore, permitting this type
of activity may heighten the use of drugs and alcohol and other activity while an individual or individual(s)
are "resting" in a motor vehicle.
City parking locations, whether on public or private property, were never intended or designed for residential
occupancy. Such a use raises major issues of sanitation as well as the ability of residents to feel secure in
their homes and to safely conduct business activity.
Because this measure would undermine local authority to appropriately protect the public health, safety
and welfare of our residents, we oppose AB 718.

Re: AB 718 (Chu), Vehicles Used For Human Habitation
Request for "NO" Vote—File #160
The undersigned organizations respectfully urge your opposition to AB 718. Reducing local regulatory
authority offers no meaningful solution to addressing the difficult challenges of homelessness.
This measure prohibits local agencies from enforcing laws and ordinances, or otherwise subject to civil or
criminal penalties, the act of people sleeping or resting in a lawfully parked motor vehicle. While recent
amendments have been added in an effort to clarify various aspects, the policies of this bill remain flawed.
City parking locations whether on public or private property —other than campgrounds—were never intended
or designed for residential occupancy. This measure would promote a "new normal" of vehicle living as a
viable option and publicly sanction such uses in state law.
People should be living in houses, not cars. The state has woefully underinvested in funds for affordable
housing and emergency shelters, and recently eliminated local redevelopment agencies that previously
generated $1 billion per year for affordable housing. Rather than sanctioning automotive living in AB 718,
the Legislature and Governor should provide more funds to build affordable units by approving AB 35 and
AB 1335.
This bill is also not restricted to people who are homeless. The bill applies to anyone who is sleeping or
"resting" in a vehicle. Such vagueness leaves this law subject to broader interpretation and abuse. For
instance, police officers may find it more difficult to deal with suspicious vehicles where the occupants claim
to be "resting" but may be in an area for other reasons. Retirees and vacationers with disposable income
may begin to view local streets and roads as less costly options than public and private campgrounds.
Others may decide to take advantage of California's climate, beautiful coastline and quality of life and live in
vehicles (as some do in boats) as a lifestyle choice.
It has been argued that locals could respond to this measure by enacting more stringent parking laws. They
can, and likely will, but this raises larger questions about what hundreds of thousands more "no parking"
signs, residential parking stickers, and parking meters will do other than making mobility more difficult and
costly for all other community residents, businesses districts and state tourism.
15
While AB 718 may be well intended, it offers no real solutions to homelessness. Rather than approve this
measure, it makes much more sense for the state to identify more funding for affordable housing and
emergency shelters. For these reasons, we respectfully request your "No" vote on AB 718.
