Car camping parking restrictions #11

Open clarissapaik opened 6 years ago

clarissapaik commented 6 years ago

Early this year, the City began enforcing an ordinance that prohibits car camping in residentially zoned areas, in addition to commercial areas within a block of licensed schools, daycare centers, pre-schools, and parks. While the city provides interactive maps of cleared areas through ZIMAS and has physical pdfs on its website, these are clearly not likely resources easily used by those who are most impacted by the ordinance. These maps also do not account for block by block parking regulation.

The ordinance in the city of Los Angeles is temporary, but I'm assuming it will probably be extended or renewed. If we had to add to this OSPRS, how would we add temporary types of restrictions that affect only certain practices? Seems like the police could say anything is living in your vehicle and ticket you for no good reason.

The way the ordinance is set up, the restrictions are relative to zoning constraints. ZIMA doesn't help you actually find a place that would be legal to park it just shows you how some location fits into that zoning rubric for the ordinance.
