RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA
URGING THE AMENDMENT OF SECTION 22518 OF THE VEHICLE CODE
OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, RELATING TO THE RESTRICTION
ON THE PARKING OF CAMPERS AND TRAILERS
The City Council of the City of Chula Vista does ordain as
follows:
WHEREAS, the legislature of the State of California, in its
1967 session, adopted Section 22518 as an amendment of the Vehicle
Code of the State of California, prohibiting the parking of trailers
and campers on highways except in designated areas, and
WHEREAS, the intent of said legislation was to eliminate the
traffic hazards created by the parking of said vehicles adjacent to
heavily trafficked roadways, as well as to protect the occupants of
said vehicles by requiring that they park in designated camp sites, and
WHEREAS, the legislation was so broadly drawn that the restric-
tions constituted an absolute prohibition of the parking of campers and
trailers on virtually all streets and raodways, and
WHEREAS, none of the communities in the State of C:aiifornia
have enforced or will enforce such a prohibition which is arbitrary
and unreasonable.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the
City of Chula Vista does hereby urge the State Legislature to carefully
evaluate the problems related to the parking of trailers and campers,
and to make the appropriate amendments in Section 22518 at the earliest
possible time, in order to resolve the problems without imposing un-
reasonable and arbitrary restrictions upon citizens who own such vehicles.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Clerk of the City of
Chula Vista be, and he is hereby directed to forward certified copies
of this resolution to all members of the legislative delegation of the
County of San Diego.
