SUBJECT: CONSIDER ORDINANCE AMENDING THE MOORPARK MUNICIPAL
CODE BY ADDING SECTION 10.04.227, PROVIDING THAT IT IS
UNLAWFUL FOR ANY PERSON TO PARK A MOTOR VEHICLE OR A
TRANSPORTABLE LIVING FACILITY ON ANY STREET, HIGHWAY, OR
PUBLIC OR PRIVATE PROPERTY FOR PURPOSES OF LIVING OR
RESIDING THEREIN
The proposed ordinance has been reviewed by both the City Attorney
and Lt. Rouse.
The City Attorney has commented that the proposed ordinance may be
difficult to enforce unless the City has an offender under
surveillance for a period of time. She indicated that somebody
caught sleeping can argue that their purpose is not to "live" in
their vehicle or transportable living facility. In spite of the
ordinance's limitations, staff believes it can be a tool used by
the police in appropriate circumstances.
Introduce Ordinance for first reading.
Attachment: Proposed ordinance.
