Item: 10.A.
Meeting Date: 1/22/2026
To: Traffic Commission
From: Christian Horvath, Assistant to the City Manager / City Clerk
Thru: Karina Bañales, City Manager
Subject: Follow-up to previous discussion regarding existing parking ordinances for possible
revisions or updates
Background:
At the May 22, 2025 Traffic Commission meeting, the Commission requested that this item be
continued for further discussion based on input provided by LA County Battalion Chief Butorovich
specific to ingress/egress, public safety, and the City of Los Angeles Ordinance regarding parking
restrictions within canyons during Red Flag Events.
At the July 24, 2025 Traffic Commission meeting, the Commission considered all information present
and unanimously recommended the City Council consider an Ordinance excluding street parking on
Red Flag days. The Administrative Report and attachments from July can be found as Attachment A.
On August 11, 2025, the City Council unanimously created a limited Ad Hoc Council Subcommittee to
discuss potential Red Flag Warning Municipal Code changes related to parking and potential
prohibition on high-risk outdoor activities and also provided direction to the Traffic Commission to look
at all existing parking ordinances for possible revisions or updates and to bring information back to
the City Council for further consideration
At the September 24, 2025 Traffic Commission meeting, staff was directed to evaluate conflicting
rules or inconsistencies with the municipal code, look at similar communities as mentioned (Hidden
Hills, Brabdbury and La Habra Heights) and return with high level recommendations for the
Commission to consider.
Discussion:
Staff has pulled the Municipal Code sections from Hidden Hills, Bradbury, and La Habra Heights
(Attachments C-E) to compare with the Rolling Hills Municipal Code (Attachment B), with highlighted
sections most germane to the original discussion specific to Red Flag Warnings / Evacuations. A
comparison matrix has also been created (Attachment A).
Staff has not completed its internal evaluation of inconsistencies to provide the requested high-level
recommendations and will do so for the March 2026 Commission meeting.
Page 10 of 38
Staff recommends the Traffic Commission continue discussions, provide questions or further direction
to staff, and continue the item to March for additional discussion and/or provide recommendations to
the City Council.
Fiscal Impact:
Unknown at this time.
Recommendation:
Receive and file. Provide questions or further direction to staff, and continue the item to March for
additional discussion and/or providing recommendations to the City Council.

circumstances of the citation with respect to the contestant's written explanation of the reason or
reasons for contesting the parking citation.
If, based on the results of that investigation, the processing agency is satisfied that the violation did not
occur, because the registered owner was not responsible for the violation by virtue of having sold,
rented or leased the vehicle, or because legally supportable or mitigating circumstances as set forth in
the City's administrative policy warrant a dismissal, the processing agency shall cancel the parking
citation, and make an adequate record of the reason or reasons for canceling the parking citation. The
processing agency shall mail the results of the investigation by first class mail to the contestant within
ten calendar days of the decision.
2. If the contestant is not satisfied with the results of the investigation provided for in subparagraph 1.,
the contestant may, within 21 calendar days of the mailing of the results of the initial investigation,
deposit the amount of the parking penalty and other related fees or provide proof of an inability to
deposit the parking penalty, and request an administrative review. An administrative hearing shall be
held within 90 calendar days following the receipt of a request for an administrative hearing, excluding
time tolled pursuant to Article 2 of Chapter 1 of Division 17 of the Vehicle Code. The operator
requesting the administrative hearing may request one continuance, not to exceed 21 calendar days.
3. If the contestant prevails at the administrative hearing, then the full amount of the parking penalty
deposited shall be refunded.
B. The administrative review procedure shall consist of the following:
1. The contestant shall make a written request for administrative review on a form and in a manner
satisfactory to the processing agency and may request to contest the parking citation either in person
or by written declaration.
2. If the contestant is a minor, that person shall be permitted to appear at a hearing or admit
responsibility for a parking citation without the necessity of the appointment of a guardian. The
processing agency may proceed against the minor in the same manner as if the minor were an adult.
3. The administrative review shall be conducted before a qualified hearing examiner as defined in Vehicle
Code Section 20215 and appointed or contracted by the City to conduct the administrative review.

not be required to produce any evidence other than the parking citation or copy thereof, and information
received from the Department identifying the registered owner of the vehicle.
This documentation in proper form shall be considered prima facie evidence of the violation.
D. The hearing examiner's final decision shall be in writing and delivered personally to the contestant or the
contestant's agent, or delivered by first class mail within ten working days following the hearing.
E. If the contestant is not the registered owner of the vehicle, all notices to the contestant required under this
Section 4-10-13 shall also be given to the registered owner by first class mail.
