COMMUNICATIONS - (WRITTEN) 1. CAPISTRANO VILLAS HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION #1 - REQUESTING ORDINANCE PROHIBITING OVERNIGHT PARKING ON CERTAIN STREETS. The City Manager stated that the Association is requesting City assistance in eliminating commercial and recreational vehicle parking on streets throughout their tracts. Because of limited on site parking space on residential properties in these tracts, staff feels it will be impossible to eliminate all vehicle parking on residential streets in the Capistrano Villas area. Any attempt to eliminate camper and recreation vehicle parking on any City street faces the practical difficulty of insufficient parking areas for them on residential lots. Without a clearly demonstrable traffic hazard or obstruction to the flow of traffic, staff believes these kinds of vehicles, while unpleasant in appearance to many people, are a sub- urban fact of life which cannot be legislated out of existence by City ordinance. Three alternatives were presented for Council's consideration. Following discussion, the City Manager was requested to convey `c the As2^ociatior that doc_ to possible legal diffizulties and enforcement the Council does not feel it can take any action in favor of their request.
