1.Adopt Ordinance 1584 (2012 Series) amending Titles 9, 10, and 17 of the Municipal
Code regarding overnight camping on public streets and City owned parking lots .
2.Adopt a resolution establishing a parking fine for Section 10 .34 .020 of the Municipa l
Code .
DISCUSSIO N
•Background
On September 18, 2012, the City Council considered introduction of an ordinance amending th e
Municipal Code to address overnight camping on public streets in response to a settlemen t
agreement with the SLO Homeless Alliance . The recommended Municipal Code amendment s
added Chapter 10 .34 to clearly define that the City prohibition on overnight camping include s
the public right-of-way and City owned parking lots . With the addition of Chapter 10 .34 which
applies to the public right-of-way and City owned parking lots, Chapter 17 .16 .015 of the Zonin g
Regulations was recommended for amendment to only apply to private property . With th e
Municipal Code amendments reviewed for adoption by Council, Chapter 9 .18 added b y
emergency ordinance in July becomes duplicative and should be repealed and removed from th e
Municipal Code .
As a part of this action a new parking fine needs to be adopted by resolution for the newl y
adopted Chapter 10 .34 of the Municipal Code . Staff research of other city and county agencie s
determined the majority use a fine amount of $100 to prohibit sleeping in vehicles . In order to b e
consistent with other cities and counties, staff is recommending the fine amount to be $100 . Thi s
amount is also typically more than the cost to stay in a camp ground so it will also provide a n
incentive to park in a camp ground rather than on City streets or parking areas .
The Police Department intends to issue warnings on the first offense as a matter of procedur e
whenever practical . Since the violation is a parking violation, the driver or owner of the vehicl e
can contest the parking violation like any other parking violation under § 40215 of the Californi a
Vehicle Code . If the driver or the owner fails to pay for five (5) or more parking violations, th e
vehicle could be towed at the owner's expense under § 22651(i) of the California Vehicle Code .

PRIVATE PROPERTY OUTSIDE OF THE PUBLIC-RIGHT-OF-WAY AN D

PROHIBITED ON CITY STREETS AND CITY OWNED PARKING LOTS )
AND REPEALING CHAPTER 9 .18 IN ITS ENTIRET Y
WHEREAS, on August 9, 2012, the City Council of San Luis Obispo agreed to a
settlement with the SLO Homeless Alliance which ended litigation on the enforcement o f
regulations that prevent people from living and sleeping in vehicles on City streets ; and
WHEREAS, the settlement agreement reflects the City's decision to focus resource s
away from litigation and towards policies and services that positively impact members of th e
community affected by homelessness ; an d
WHEREAS, the City Council agreed to consider an alternate approach to regulate th e
issue of people living and sleeping in their vehicles through regulation of the parking of vehicle s
for such purposes on City streets ; an d
•WHEREAS, the City retains its right to enforce Municipal Code Chapter 9 .18 in th e
interest of protecting the public's health and safety ; and
WHEREAS, the City Council agreed that if it opts not to enact parking regulation as a n
alternate approach to regulate the issue of people living and sleeping in their vehicles on City b y
December 31, 2012, Municipal Code Chapter 9 .18 cannot be enforced on public streets ; and
WHEREAS, The ordinance included herein is intended to mitigate the adverse impact s
of people living and sleeping in their vehicles on City Street with the introduction of Municipa l

WHEREAS, due to the availability of an alternate mechanism by which to address th e
impacts of people living and sleeping in their vehicles on the public streets, the City Counci l
agreed the City will not oppose the Court's order limiting the enforcement of Zoning Regulation s
Section 17 .16 .015 on the public streets, an d
WHEREAS, it is the intent of the Council to adopt ordinance amendments consisten t
with those contemplated by the settlement agreement with the SLO Homeless Alliance and as a
necessary measure to limit the parking of vehicles for purposes of residential occupancy, t o
prevent the establishment and proliferation of unsafe and unsanitary residential uses within th e
City limits, and to preserve the City's immediate authority to regulate public conduct in the bes t
interests of its citizenry .
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the Council of the City of San Lui s
•Obispo as follows :
O t
C2-3
Ordinance No . #### (2012 Series)
Page 2
SECTION 1 .The City Council makes the following findings :
A.The adoption of Municipal Code Section 10 .34 prohibiting the parking of vehicle s
for purposes of overnight camping on City Streets and City owned parking areas i s
necessary because the City's streets are ill-suited to support vehicular residentia l
occupancies, not only for the residents establishing such illegal uses, but also for th e
public forced to bear the impacts because : the streets and other non-exempted areas
within the City do not have facilities or services to support residential uses ; the
mobile nature of such vehicular uses make them difficult to regulate and patrol ;
establishment of residential uses in zones, areas, locations, or properties not designe d
or equipped to support such uses is unsafe and unsanitary ; the proliferation of suc h
unregulated uses in areas not designed to support them encourages misconduct suc h
as illegal garbage disposal, illegal septic disposal, illegal discharges into the City's
sewer and stormwater conveyance systems in violation of the City's state permittin g
requirements ; public urination and defecation . Moreover, establishment of
residential uses in areas not equipped to serve them creates conflicts between th e
improper residential use and adjacent approved and supported uses an d
developments ; establishment of residential uses in areas not zoned and equipped fo r
such uses is inconsistent with the City's General Plan and goals and objectives fo r
orderly development .
B.Adoption of Municipal Code Section 10 .34 is consistent with twenty-one policies i n
the City's General Plan, which are devoted to ensuring compatible land uses and th e
enactment of Municipal Code amendments including the adoption of Chapter 10 .3 4
is necessary to prohibit living and sleeping in vehicles and is required to provide a n
implementing measure to enforce illegal uses that are incompatible with lawful an d
permitted uses .
C.The Municipal Code amendments are consistent with the "10-Year Plan to En d
Homelessness in San Luis Obispo County," which includes policies, programs, an d
actions to assist the transition of homeless persons into housing, and the City ha s
embraced and supported such policies and programs .
D.Some of the adverse impacts in areas where vehicular occupancies have proliferate d
or concentrated within the City, which have been reported to the City by third partie s
or observed by City staff, include : littering, public urination, public defecation ,
and/or intoxication, obstruction of vehicular or pedestrian passage on both publi c
and private property ; theft of water and electricity, verbal and physical assaults ,
trespass onto adjacent public and private properties ; vandalism ; and harassment o r
intimidation of occupants, employees, and/or customers of adjacent properties .
E.Prior to the initiation of the legal action that resulted in the Court's July 3, 201 2
ruling granting the preliminary injunction, City staff had undertaken consideration o f
a proposal by the Community Action Partnership of San Luis Obispo (CAPSLO) t o
establish a "safe parking" pilot program, whereby a limited number of homeles s
residents would be permitted to utilize their vehicles as overnight living and sleeping

quarters in the parking lot of the Prado Day Center, subject to agreement t o
participate in case management services designed to transition those individual s
and/or families into permanent housing and self-sufficiency . That program include s
access to sanitation facilities not otherwise available to individuals living an d
sleeping in their vehicles parked on public streets . The program proposal was
subsequently recommended for approval and approved by the Council .
F.The "safe parking" pilot program is being evaluated and if successful, staff is t o
recommend the continuance of the pilot program and municipal code changes t o
authorize the expansion of the program to other compatible areas throughout the Cit y
at a future date .
G.On July 3, 2012, the San Luis Obispo Superior Court issued a ruling granting a
preliminary injunction against the enforcement of the City's zoning prohibition o f
the use of vehicles as living and sleeping quarters on local public streets .
H.On July 10, 2012, the Council found that the Court's ruling reflected a
misapprehension of the Council's intent as to the application and longstandin g
enforcement of Municipal Code Section 17 .16 .015, and reaffirmed its intent to appl y
the prohibition to the public streets by adopting a parallel prohibition added a s
Chapter 9 .18 (Vehicle as Dwelling Unit) of the San Luis Obispo Municipal Code .
I.On August 9, 2012, the City of San Luis Obispo approved an agreement with th e
SLO Homeless Alliance relating to the enforcement of regulations that preven t
people from living and sleeping in vehicles parked on City Streets .
J.In reaching the settlement agreement, the City Council continues to assert that it s
ordinances and actions are legally permissible, valid and appropriate as applied t o
the public streets ;
K.The amendments herein, as a result of the agreement, represent a practical an d
financial decision to direct resources and focus away from litigation and toward s
policies and services that positively impact members of the community affected b y
homelessness .
L.The Council finds that the establishment of residential uses in vehicles on the publi c
streets with no mechanism for enforcement constitutes an imminent and immediat e
threat to the public peace, health and safety because public streets are not equippe d
to support residential occupancies for the reasons set forth in this Ordinance .
M.Jurisdictions throughout California have passed and enforced prohibitions agains t
such occupancies on public streets and the absence of an ordinance will likel y
encourage the establishment of such occupancies on City streets .
C2-5
Ordinance No . #### (2012 Series )
Page 4
N . The establishment of such occupancies on the public streets invites, facilitates an d
encourages the maintenance of unsafe and unsanitary residential conditions within
the City .
0 .The Council finds that the lack of reasonable enforcement mechanisms to preven t
and prohibit such unsafe and unsanitary occupancies is contrary to the public peace ,
health, and safety and leaves the City, its residents, businesses and property owner s
without recourse to address valid complaints about the adverse impacts of suc h
occupancies in an effective and expedient manner .
P . Solely as a matter of expedience, in order to meet the demands of plaintiffs a s
necessary to settle the litigation entitled SLO Homeless Alliance v . City of San Lui s
Obispo, et al ., and to avoid further costly expenditures of public resources, the Cit y
Council is exercising its authority to regulate the improper residential use of vehicle s
parked on public streets pursuant to its constitutional police powers and through th e
adoption of vehicle parking regulation pursuant to the authority delegated to it by th e
California Vehicle Code to regulate the stopping, standing and parking of certain
vehicles on local streets .
SECTION 2 . For the reasons set forth herein and in order to ensure clarity o f
enforcement and the continued ability of the City to prohibit unsafe and unsanitary occupancie s
of vehicles parked on the public streets, which are contrary to the City's plans for orderl y
development, environmental protection, and human health, safety and welfare, and to suppor t
and secure the positive progress of the "safe parking" pilot program and subsequen t
consideration of the expansion of such programs for the support of the homeless community i n
San Luis Obispo, Chapter 10 .34 is hereby added to the San Luis Obispo Municipal Code to read
as follows :

this ordinance is, for any reason, held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be an invalid o r
unenforceable exercise of the City's authority under the California Vehicle Code, such invalidit y

or sleeping in a vehicle on public streets, parking areas or rights of way . Rather, upon a judicia l
determination of invalidity or unenforceability under the California Vehicle Code, this ordinanc e
shall be deemed to have been adopted solely pursuant to the City's constitutional police power s
and violations of Chapter 10 .34 shall be re-codified in Chapter 9 .18 and deemed infraction s
subject to enforcement by infraction citation or administrative citation issued to the individua l
found to be in violation, rather than by parking citation .
