Pillar Point Harbor in El Granada, CA has announced that overnight RV parking and storage of fishing gear should cease by March 1, 2020. If both aren’t removed by March 1, then the Harbor District will face daily fines. Specifically, San Mateo County Harbor District received the notice for defying county zoning rules by allowing the RVs and fishing gear in the parking lot. If both aren’t removed by March 1, then the Harbor District will face daily fines. As stated in a press release by Daily Journal writer Zachary Clark, "During a meeting Wednesday, Harbor District General Manager Jim Pruett suggested the county may have taken action because it discovered several RV dwellers were parking in the lot on a long-term basis and it was unclear where they were dumping their waste." At that meeting, the Harbor District Board of Commissioners voted 3-1 to comply with the March 1 deadline while also authorizing Pruett to procure a permit for temporary storage of fishing gear in the parking lot and to investigate another permit to allow RVs there. Commissioner Edmundo Larenas stated that there are already areas reserved for RVs nearby, and a new RV lot could soon open across the street. “The Harbor District shouldn’t have to build an RV lot for the folks who want to be there.”
