Vehicles: overnight parking.

Existing law authorizes local authorities, by ordinance or resolution, to, among other things, prohibit or restrict the parking or standing of vehicles on certain streets or highways, or portions thereof, between the hours of 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. The California Coastal Act of 1976 provides for the planning and regulation of development, under a coastal development permit process, within the coastal zone, as defined, and authorizes the California Coastal Commission to issue permits for, and to regulate, various types of developments within the coastal zone. This bill would provide that the City of Los Angeles is not required to obtain a permit or approval from the commission to establish an overnight parking restriction on public streets by nonresidents between the hours of 2 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. in the Venice coastal zone. The bill would also authorize the City of Los Angeles to establish a system of permits for purposes of exempting residents of the Venice coastal zone from the parking restrictions. This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the City of Los Angeles.
