7.A. - Page 4 of 32 RV Parking Permits The RV Parking Permits will provide up to 110 on and off-street RV parking permits to accommodate the current population of RV residents in Redwood City. To be able to receive a renewable parking permit, all persons residing in the RV must commit to engage in efforts to find permanent housing and/or a permanent parking option off the street. All RVs utilizing on street parking using a permit must adhere to City parking rules and regulations, including, at a minimum, moving the RV to a new parking location at least once per 72 hours. There will be no fee for participation in the Temporary Safe Parking Program. The local non-profit agency LifeMoves will provide outreach and case management services for participants in both the RV Parking Permit and Safe RV Parking Site Programs, as well as operation of the Safe RV Parking Site discussed below. Two LifeMoves Case Workers — at least one bilingual in English and Spanish — will provide outreach, engagement and case management services to the RV residents in Redwood City. Safe RV Parking Site In order to provide a more stable, safe and centralized location for RV residents to reside and to receive supportive services, the City will establish a Temporary Safe RV Parking Site (Parking Site), which will provide a reliable transition space and centralized services for participants as they work toward being permanently housed. The Parking Site will be located on City -owned property at 1402 Maple Street with designated parking spaces for approximately 30 to 50 RVs. Initial operating hours will be 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 a.m., seven days per week. All RVs must leave the Parking Site no later than 9:00 a.m. each morning and participants must comply with all City parking rules and regulations when parking on the street. Only one parking space per RV will be issued. If needed, one additional parking space per car may be issued, space permitting. Parking Site spaces will not be issued for other vehicles/equipment owned by the RV resident; alternative storage/parking must be located for these items. Participants must comply with all Safe RV Parking Site rules. Currently, under state law, the provision of a twenty-four hour, seven day per week (24/7) facility may bestow tenancy rights upon RV residents. In order to avoid the unintended bestowal of tenancy rights, RV residents would only be allowed to park in the City's Safe Parking lot overnight but would need to leave the facility by 9:00 a.m. each day. Ultimately, based on feedback from RV residents and conversations with other jurisdictions, the eventual goal would be to have the Safe Parking Lot open twenty-four hours per day/seven days per week. Enabling legislation is under consideration by the State Legislature (AB 2553). The Parking Site features and services will include: a Resident Services Coordinator/external security provided by LifeMoves to ensure that only authorized users are present at the Site and to address any issues/problems that arise, and LifeMoves Case Workers to assist RV residents in seeking social services, employment assistance and permanent housing. Portable toilets will be located on the site along with onsite garbage disposal and recycling. Program participants will also receive waste water disposal and water fill vouchers. Access to the Parking Site will require possession of a RV Parking Permit and ongoing compliance with all Parking Permit requirements.
