County Bans RVs in Isla Vista

The Board of Supervisors took steps to amend the county code to prohibit oversized vehicles from parking in Isla Vista 10 p.m.-6 a.m. A string of long-term residents who live on the west end of I.V. took to the podium Tuesday to tell the board RVs are a nuisance to the community, limit already saturated parking, and dump waste into the sewers. One person cautioned that an ordinance could harm the homeless population. Supervisor Doreen Farr, who represents I.V., noted the recently opened Pescadero Lofts provide housing to the homeless and that her office is working with churches on safe parking possibilities.
