IMPLEMENTATION OF RECOMMENDATIONS BY THE AZUSA CITIZENS' COMMITTEE FOR
CODE COMPLIANCE (ACCFCC).
Assistant City Manager Robert Person provided a presentation regarding temporary signs
'and RV parking. He stated that the Committee's recommendation is to take the parking of
any RV back beyond the property line, a zero lot line. With regard to visitors the
Committee's recommendation is to give them 14 day passes and allowing an RV to be tied
to an Azusa address; staff thinks this is unmanageable and would be very hard to administer.
They would rather have a period of time between Thanksgiving through Martin Luther Icing
Day to suspend enforcement and let visitor park on the streets, not enforcing the three day
rule during that time.
