PUBLIC HEARINGS
Several Councilmembers expressed support for adopting the ordinance
to give code enforcement staff an additional tool and to reinstate previous
code provisions. All members who spoke supported aggressive
enforcement of residential parking restrictions for larger commercial
vehicles. Councilmember Franklin asked City Attorney Fletcher if the City
could selectively enforce an ordinance, and if the City could prosecute
some offenders and not others. The City Attorney responded that the
ordinance could not be selectively enforced but discretion in enforcement
could be used. He noted that the ordinance would reinstate language that
had previously been included in the Municipal Code and normally would
be enforced on a complaint basis. City Manager Ream added that all
seven Council members have historically indicated to him that they do not
want the small commercial vehicles cited, and that the City would continue
to enforce the ordinance as it had in the past.
Councilmember McGuigan stated that she supported the concerns
expressed by the neighborhoods, however, believed that the Planning
Commission should complete its review before the Council adopts any
ordinance.
Motion 1. Place ordinance on first reading and authorize publication of
title.
ORDINANCE NO. NS-2425 - An ordinance of the City Council of the
City of Santa Ana repealing Section 2 of Ordinance No. NS-2419 and

Municipal Code — Planning and Building Agency and City Attorney's
Office
2. Refer entire matter related to parking Commercial vehicles on
