Authorities have begun citing and towing RVs parked alongside Pacific
Coast Highway, but people living in the RVs say theyve never been a
problem and were never told they had to leave.
In a post to X, the City of Malibu stated that the Los Angeles County
Sheriffs Department had towed a trailer parked on PCH near Corral Beach
on Sept. 12 after several warnings and outreach attempts.
Another RV was towed on Sept. 6, the post indicated.
The City & LASD are enforcing for public safety, beach access for
residents and visitors and quality of life in Malibu, the city said.
KTLA spoke to multiple people living in the RVs who claimed they werent
given any advance warning that they were being cited and being told to
leave or be towed.
They told us that they were taking a list of people [who would be] issued citations, one woman said, adding that some residents have been living on
PCH for years and have never been a problem.
Another woman explained to KTLA 5s Ellina Abovian that she had fallen
onto hard times during the COVID-19 pandemic and that she was just trying
to keep her head above water.
These are peoples homes, she said. Were not drug addicts, we have jobsthis is not funny.
Others said they were told they were in violation of a parking ordinance
but no specific information about the ordinance was disclosed.
CHP officers were seen going from vehicle to vehicle late Monday night, knocking on windows and telling residents they had to leave or be cited.
In total, 15 citations were given out, CHP confirmed.
The area where the RVs are located is in unincorporated Los Angeles County
and part of L.A. County Supervisor Lindsay Horvaths jurisdiction.
Horvath introduced a motion at Tuesdays Board of Supervisors meeting that would allow the California Coastal Commission to extend the no overnight parking rule along all of PCH, a spokesperson for her office told KTLA.
The specific section where the citations were given out overnight
currently only prohibit parking from midnight to 2 a.m.
