AMENDING SECTIONS 10.28.120 AND 10.28.182 OF THE CITY OF
IRWINDALE MUNICIPAL CODE TO ADJUST THE CITY'S
REGULATIONS REGARDING OVERNIGHT PARKING
WHEREAS, the City of Irwindale ("City") is authorized by Article XI, Section 5 and
Section 7 of the Constitution of the State of California to exercise the police power of the
State by adopting regulations to promote public health, welfare, safety, and general
prosperity; and
WHEREAS, the City is continuing in its efforts to address the health, safety, and
welfare issues arising from increased overnight parking on numerous City streets; and
WHEREAS, excessive overnight parking results in overcrowding of City streets,
and can cause parking difficulties when vehicles are left on the street for prolonged
periods of time; and
WHEREAS, the Irwindale Municipal Code currently contains Section 10.28.120,
entitled "Storage of vehicles —Use of streets prohibited —Removal authorized," which
makes it unlawful for any person to store a vehicle on a City street or alley for more than
a consecutive period of 120 hours; and
WHEREAS, during its efforts in enforcing this provision, the City has determined
that the 120 hour time period is too long and fails to adequately address the problems
arising from prolonged street parking; and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to adopt this Ordinance to reduce the time
period from 120 hours to 72 hours; and
WHEREAS, the Irwindale Municipal Code currently contains Section 10.28.182,
entitled "Overnight parking restricted on designated streets," which makes it unlawful for
any person to park or store his or her vehicle on certain designated streets from the hours
of twelve midnight to five a.m.; and
WHEREAS, the City has identified, based on its enforcement practices and public
recommendations, certain additional streets which would benefit from this overnight
parking restriction; and
WHEREAS, the City Council now desires to amend the Irwindale Municipal Code
to add three additional streets, specifically 2nd Street, Central Avenue, and Business
Center Drive, to the list of streets which are covered by the overnight parking restriction;
and
WHEREAS, all legal prerequisites to the adoption of this ordinance have occurred.
