Southern Califoria Granfather Clauses regarding homes and recreational vehicles.?
We have a small motor home/RV parked in our driveway. At least two other families in our neighborhood have RV's on their property as well. However one of our neighbors whom we had a tiff with complained to the city that we should not be allowed to have it parked in view of the street because it is so big and it is only used on vacations which are not frequent.
We were told we had to move it by the city or face a fine. However one of the gentlemen from the city who gave us this info said that it was possible that there was a grandfather clause that might make it possible for us to keep the RV parked in the driveway.
But it depended on the year the house was built (1973 in the 91730 zip code) and we had to find the clause ourselves. I called the county recorder but they didnt even know what a grandfather clause was.
Please help.
Answer: I saw an article the other day in either the San Francisco Examiner or the San Jose Mercury News about a similar case in Oakland.
That guy had a dispute with his neighbors for 25+ years and now the local City Council person is kind of taking a vendetta.
You might be able to find that article by searching google news. It may have referenced the law you are asking about, I don't recall for sure but it sounds familiar. This was over the weekend or last Friday IIRC.
