AGENDA REPORT
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: Kenneth C. Gilbert, Director of Public Works
DATE: September 22, 2005 (Council Meeting 10 -5 -05)
SUBJECT: Ordinance Revising Section 10.04.180 of the
Moorpark Municipal Code Pertaining to Parking in
Disabled Parking Zones
DISCUSSION
Section 10.04.180 of the Moorpark Municipal Code (MMC) [Exhibit 1]
sets forth certain specific language with regard to regulating the
use of disabled parking zones. Problems have been encountered in
using this Section to cite vehicles illegally parked in handicap
parking spaces, due to the fact that the language in that Section
does not include all of the parking violations set forth in the
counter -part section of the California Vehicle Code (CVC) . The
attached ordinance will amend Section 10.04.180 of the MMC to
merely state that a violation of CVC Section 22507.8 shall be a
violation of the Moorpark Municipal Code. In this way all of the
handicap parking restrictions set forth in the CVC will be
"citable" under the MMC.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Introduce Ordinance No. for first reading, waive full
reading, and schedule second reading and adoption for November 2,
2005.
