Supervisors direct staff to draft targeted no‑overnight‑parking rules and signage for problem roads

Supervisor Tucker and others described several problem corridors where vehicles and RVs have remained for weeks, creating safety and nuisance concerns. Tucker called existing options inadequate: "I was shocked... there really is no mechanism to address that situation other than voluntary cooperation," he said, recounting an incident where vehicles remained in place for nearly a month.

Staff summarized three approaches: post time‑limited parking signs in targeted locations (no overnight parking), revise the 72‑hour ordinance language, or draft a more comprehensive restriction on camping/sleeping in vehicles on county roads. Sheriff Sam Brown and code compliance staff said enforcement is most effective when signage clarifies restrictions and when outreach (HHSA, code compliance, sheriff) has already tried voluntary resolutions.

The Board directed the Community Development Agency to work with district supervisors, sheriff's office and county counsel to identify specific problem road segments, draft updated signage and ordinance language for those corridors, and return proposed ordinance text and placement plans for Board approval. Staff noted that more sweeping county‑wide changes would require broader legal review and that some responses for private property issues require cooperative action with property owners.

Next steps: CDA will meet with supervisors to map problem areas, propose targeted signage and ordinance amendments, and return a staff report with proposed language and enforcement protocols for the Board’s consideration.
