The committee approved the City Administrative Officer’s 2024–25 fourth transportation-related construction projects report and adopted a motion (Hutley) continued from Jan. 22 asking to post traffic restriction signage to mitigate congestion and safety issues along Southwestern Avenue and West 14th Street. The committee also adopted a motion (Sotomayor Martinez Hernandez) to establish exclusion zones for app-based delivery services and requested the needed staff and budget for that policy.

Additionally, the committee adopted the city attorney’s report and draft ordinance to consolidate the Board of Taxicab Commissioners with the Board of Transportation Commissioners and to update the Los Angeles Municipal Code to reflect that consolidation.

The chair asked for a roll call vote on items 1 through 4. Council Member Hutt voted yes; Council Member Park voted yes; Council Member Hernandez was absent. The motion carried.

During public comment, Lily Rocha, executive director of the Latino Restaurant Association, asked the committee to consider the impact of exclusion zones on Latino restaurant owners and drivers, saying the zones could negatively affect deliveries and local operators and urging the city to allow business-led resolutions where possible. A second public speaker, Armando Herman, used repeated abusive and racist language during his allotted time; the committee chair issued warnings and concluded public comment when his time expired.

The committee characterized items 1 through 4 as noncontroversial and approved the CAO’s recommendations and the motions as presented.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Transportation Committee - 6/25/25","oneSentenceSummary","The committee approved four items as noncontroversial: the CAO transportation projects report, a traffic-signage motion, a motion to establish exclusion zones for app-based delivery services, and a city attorney report to consolidate taxicab and transportation boards.","taxTitle","Los Angeles City, Los Angeles County, California","taxId",4025,"location","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6553115,"Committee directs city attorney to draft tougher ordinance, higher fines for renting recreational vehicles in public rights-of-way",488,578000,1066000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5075731-f2787b7ed7b4c59c4d50c6ba45fb6749&start=578&end=1066","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5075731-f2787b7ed7b4c59c4d50c6ba45fb6749/thumbnail_578000.jpg","/articles/6553115/Los-Angeles-City/Los-Angeles-County/California/Committee-directs-city-attorney-to-draft-tougher-ordinance-higher-fines-for-renting-recreational-vehicles-in-public-rights-of-way","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6553115-f83cb66410e1de9dfd21b4f9268bc806/orig.mp4?Expires=1770443115&Signature=IrC8ltFZ4go9X9M5APlqf39Yj4KXalLmvA4yZl91zFoVYoZy-SJ~vo1PXFYiL-uSNR4xiFQvTidU1uX5BEZg~E~8dOhx0~ADmPRrEdRZm6AZxYXbvULLOx7hnpwkSIcTFYJiaBHixDQ7wQ9vEeyU-Hjmre5xclXGHJrUzSQaNH9oLC5hbbpQZPof8JZgcBsL2EBbzcId3-tRnkKeZB6Q5rNqLDA9R0Gv0o4AFyaFIwwaNkO6fyCOWHCHP1k390BVUrW~YKY8JFTvTpKjGJPVB6hJlo70OxNP1Q2fv1w709CObNcRZHRMcjCClDjB4AF5VHc1fLFa6mWp1aeQfzFnPw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Los Angeles City Transportation and Public Works Committee on April 17 approved a city attorney report and draft ordinance that would add recreational vehicles to the list of vehicles that cannot be rented, leased or sold in the public right-of-way and update fines and late penalties for violations.

The committee voted to approve the city attorney’s report and draft ordinance as amended and requested the city attorney return with an updated draft ordinance and a report on a revised fee structure no later than the Aug. 27 committee meeting.

The city attorney, Deputy City Attorney Mike Nagel, told the committee the ordinance was requested to target landlords who place vehicles on city streets for rental operations. The proposed ordinance includes an escalating civil-penalty schedule: a first violation of $500, a second violation of $750, and later violations up to $1,000. Nagel said the office also added language allowing the city attorney to pursue criminal prosecution in cases where that course would be more appropriate rather than relying solely on administrative fines.

Council members questioned whether the statutory definition of “recreational vehicle” required by state law needed to be included verbatim in the municipal ordinance. Nagel said the ordinance uses the state’s definition so staff and the public would not have to cross-reference the vehicle code.

Committee members pressed for stronger penalties, arguing that a $1,000 fine might not deter landlords who acquire vehicles at lien sales for low cost and then rent them for recurring income. Committee members asked the city attorney to research whether the maximum civil penalty could be raised or whether other statutory maxima apply; Nagel said staff would research and, if feasible, include a higher maximum in the updated draft. The committee asked for an “updated ordinance” or a report on a fee increase that would make the practice cost-prohibitive for operators.

The committee also discussed that the measure builds on existing prohibitions against selling, leasing or repairing vehicles in the city streets and that other state laws governing RV parking and sanitation may apply, but this ordinance’s focus is on rental activity and landlords under subsection (b) of the draft. Council members and staff agreed the update should give the city more tools to deter the practice and to escalate enforcement where warranted.

The committee scheduled a return with the revised draft ordinance and fee analysis for Aug. 27 so the body could consider an updated proposal before voting on final action.
