Except as provided herein, no Recreational Vehicle, as that term is defined in California Health and Safety Code Section 18010, and no trailer-mounted boat shall remain parked on a City street or alley for over five (5) hours; provided, that the five-hour time limit for Recreational Vehicles and trailer-mounted boats (collectively, "RVs") may be extended to a maximum of thirty-six (36) hours upon receipt of a City-issued RV parking extension. A maximum of six (6) round-trip RV parking extensions may be issued per residential address per calendar year. For the purposes of this subsection, a round-trip RV parking extension shall mean one (1) thirty-six-hour parking extension for the loading of the RV and one (1) thirty-six-hour parking extension for the unloading of the RV.

If the RV parking extension has been obtained, the RV may be parked on the City street or alley at the location and during the period of time authorized by the RV parking extension. At the expiration of the five-hour period or, if an RV parking extension has been obtained, at the expiration of the period authorized by the RV parking extension, the RV shall be moved so it is no longer parked on the City street or alley and the RV shall not be parked on City streets or alleys for the ensuing twenty-four (24) hours.
