City Council Votes to Prohibit Unauthorized Camping in Irvine

The Irvine City Council has approved an ordinance to prohibit unauthorized camping on public and private land in the City, but delayed its enforcement for 120 days to allow the new Council that will take office in December to review it first.

The new ordinance strengthens a previous ordinance prohibiting sleeping in public and comes after a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling that expanded the powers of local governments in dealing with homeless persons and encampments.

The ordinance includes a 24-hour notice to homeless encampments of pending removal and a provision for the city to hold any personal belongings swept up in a removal for 90 days to allow them to be reclaimed.
