A vehicle has been incorrectly parked in a handicap spot for days. There is no indication that the vehicle is in need of a handicap spot, and has not move for some time. This is taking away access to other residents.

Who is the "Parking Services Director"? That person has unilaterally decided to issue a parking permit to a vehicle that is specifically prohibited by City Code. Specifically, "15.32.070 - Certain vehicles—Two-hour limit. No person shall allow a truck, trailer, tractor, bus, house, trailer, semi-trailer, dumpster, moving pod, or other vehicle having a load capacity in excess of one ton, or a length in excess of nineteen feet, or a height in excess of six feet six inches, or a width in excess of seven feet to be parked upon the streets of the city in excess of two hours unless authorized by the parking services director or his or her designee." The offending vehicle is a large, white, Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 about 9 feet tall that is parked on the street all day and night, blocking views and creating an eyesore. The vehicle was issued a permanent City parking permit rather than a temporary one without explanation.

A large white box truck taking up residential street parking. It appears this person is moving this truck around the neighborhood. I believe the owner is running a business out of this truck. He meets people and appears to sell parts and then he locks the truck and rides away on a bicycle. There is a solar panel on top of the truck and a power cord running in. The owner and 'customers' meet and climb in to the back of the truck through the cab and then leave after some time. I have seen this because he has parked by my house more than once. It is concerning because parking is so very limited in my neighborhood and this truck is taking up a valuable residential parking. I have noticed he moves the truck around the neighborhood every few days so he is aware of not parking it for very long to avoid receiving a citation. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
