No person shall park, stop or leave standing any recreational vehicle on any public or private street, highway or alley or public property within the city at any time, except:
1. For a reasonable period of up to no more than two hours, but only while, during and in connection with the operator's or a passenger's actual patronage of a business or obtaining of services within the City, including dining, shopping, medical or professional appointments, or similar business or activities; and only during the time such business or activity is being actively engaged in by the operator/passenger;
2. During a reasonable time that the operator is conducting emergency repairs; or
3. Pursuant to a temporary RV parking permit issued by the Chief of Police or his/her designee pursuant to this chapter.
For purposes of this section and chapter, the term "park, stop or leave standing" shall have the same meaning as "[s]top or stopping" in California Vehicle Code section 587, which excludes: the "cessation of movement of a vehicle" "when necessary to avoid conflict with other traffic or in compliance with the direction of a police officer or official traffic control device or signal." Thus, the prohibition in this section as to parking, stopping or leaving standing shall not include any cessation of movement of a recreational vehicle that is necessary to avoid conflict with other traffic or in compliance with the direction of a police officer or official traffic control device or signal.
For purposes of this section, "emergency repairs" shall mean a situation when a recreational vehicle has broken down and is unable to be driven due to a mechanical or functional failure, such as a flat tire or dead battery; but, does not include rebuilding an engine, performing a brake job, repairing/replacing major components, or any other repair that would reasonably be expected to require an extended period of time to reasonably complete, beyond 24 hours, and which is a non-emergency related repair that can be done at any time or location. "Emergency repairs" does not include minor repairs, such as a light out, low tire pressure, windshield wiper blade replacement, and similar repair items that do not impair the mobility of the recreational vehicle, or that can be repaired at any time or location.
