El Segundo issues administrative order to expand temporary housing for wildfire evacuees
Summary
The El Segundo city manager issued an administrative order suspending certain local rules to allow recreational-vehicle parking, no-fee short-term rental permits and a temporary suspension of transient-occupancy taxes and street-sweeping citations to assist people displaced by regional wildfires.
The El Segundo City Manager issued an administrative order, effective immediately, temporarily suspending several local regulations to expand short-term housing options for people displaced by recent regional wildfires. The order allows recreational vehicles to be parked on or immediately adjacent to single-family residential property for a 30-day period and authorizes no-fee temporary permits for short-term rentals and RV parking through specified dates.
Mayor and City Council offered support for residents displaced by the fires and said the actions are intended to provide relief while longer-term arrangements are found. The order specifically: allows RV parking adjacent to single-family properties for 30 days through Feb. 14, 2025; permits El Segundo property owners to host displaced people via short-term rentals for a 90-day period through Apr. 13, 2025 (no fee); suspends transient-occupancy taxes for displaced people staying in El Segundo extended-stay hotels for 90 days through Apr. 13, 2025; suspends street-sweeping parking citations through Friday, Jan. 17, 2025; and suspends the use of power air leaf blowers in alignment with the Los Angeles County health officer order until further notice.
A no-fee temporary permit is required for both recreational-vehicle parking and short-term rental offers under the order. For more information or to apply for a permit, the city directs people to its website: elsegundo.org/forward/firesupport. The transcript records these actions as an administrative order by the City Manager; no City Council vote or ordinance passage is recorded in the provided text.
The order’s measures are time-limited. The transcript lists the expiration dates above; the order itself is described as taking effect immediately in order to increase available temporary housing options as people are displaced by the wildfires.
