History
Picture of current project
City Council adopted Policy No. #P-2015-01 at theirJuly 28, 2014 meeting to establish the process forresidents to establish parking districts in single familyand townhome communities. Once established,overnight parking would be restricted to vehiclesdisplaying a parking pass for the established Zone.
8
HistoryPermits are issued for $10each calendar year by theTreasurer’s Office for everyvehicle owned by persons inthe City and registered inthe City. Daily use visitorpasses can be purchased inpacks of 5 for $10 with anannual maximum limit of 10packs per property address.
9
HistoryThe initial intent of the program was to reduce the numberof vehicles parking on City streets that were not registeredin the City. It was estimated that this would reduce thenumber of vehicles parking in these districts by 5% to10%.
