Unlike some of its neighboring cities, Palo Alto has no intention of restricting overnight RV parking on its streets — at least not now.
The Palo Alto City Council voted 5-1 Monday night to support a proposal by Councilmembers Lydia Kou and Tom DuBois to consider launching a new safe parking program on city-owned land. DuBois was absent and Councilman Greg Tanaka dissented.
The council, however, also voted 4-2 to eliminate a recommendation within the memo that called for city staff to consider ways to distinguish between low- and high-income vehicle dwellers and explore new RV parking regulations on city streets.

During the same week, the Mountain View city council directed its city staff to develop an ordinance that would ban overnight RV parking on its city streets.
