HOMES ON WHEELS v. City of Santa Barbara

Opinion

GILBERT, P. J.

A city ordinance prohibits parking of trailers, semis, recreational vehicles, buses, and vehicles exceeding a 3/4-ton capacity between 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. The city posts notice of this prohibition at 33 locations in the city. We conclude the ordinance is not preempted by Vehicle Code section 22507 which permits local authorities to restrict parking within the city. The city however, did not comply with section 22507 because it did not give adequate notice of the parking restriction.
