Consider establishing a limit of 24 oversized vehicle parking permits per year that may be issued to a resident of Rancho Palos Verdes for use in parking their own oversized vehicle or the bona fide guest of such resident based on the general procedures contained in the ordinance approved by the Traffic safety Commission on June 26, 2006.

3. Consider establishing a permit process that may include the following:
