City Council meeting October 1, 2019 Agenda Item 50A— Oversized Vehicle Parking Ordinance
I commend City Staff and Council for proposing an oversized vehicle parking ordinance for the City of Santa Ana.
I believe that it would be a valuable safety measure to add a maximum width to the description of "oversized
vehicle."
In researching other California cities it appears that many such width restrictions are between 78 and 82 inches
maximum width.
I think that a maximum width restriction of 7 ft. (84 inches) is generous and reasonable.
In example, my utility trailer on which I tow my Jeep is 94 inches wide.
A. That the Santa Ana Municipal Code, is hereby amended by adding a section, to be numbered 36- 19. which said
section reads as follows:
Section 36- 19 Oversized Vehicle Oversized Vehicle shall mean any vehicle, including any attached trailers, vehicles or
loads thereon, that exceeds 22 feet in length or 7 feet in height (or 7 ft. in width).
Respectfully submitted,
Mike Tardif
