PARKING IN SAN FERNNDO
RESIDENTIAL PARKING PROGRAM
Last year, we conducted the first phase of this effort, which included community engagement, data collection, and an internal needs assessment with City staff. As part of this process, City staff and consultants met with residents to share information about the RPP program and to discuss challenges with the existing program and parking concerns across the City.
Based on the valuable feedback gathered from those meetings and surveys, City staff and consultants have developed draft recommendations to improve the RPP program. We are now preparing for the second phase of community engagement to present these draft recommendations and gather additional input from residents.
It is important to note that these are draft recommendations, not finalized plans. This second round of engagement is critical for ensuring that the final recommendations reflect the diverse needs of our community. Your participation and feedback are essential in shaping a program that works for everyone.
To join the upcoming community meetings—whether in person or virtually—please find the meeting details below. We look forward to hearing your thoughts and continuing this collaborative effort.
El año pasado, llevamos a cabo la primera fase de este esfuerzo, que incluyó la participación de la comunidad, la recolección de datos y una evaluación interna de necesidades con el personal de la Ciudad. Como parte de este proceso, el personal y consultores de la Ciudad se reunieron con los residentes para compartir información sobre el programa RPP y discutir los desafíos con el programa existente y las preocupaciones de estacionamiento en toda la Ciudad.
Con base en los valiosos comentarios recopilados de esas reuniones y encuestas, el personal de la Ciudad y los consultores han desarrollado un borrador de recomendaciones para mejorar el programa RPP. Ahora nos estamos preparando para la segunda fase de participación comunitaria para presentar estos borradores de recomendaciones y reunir aportes adicionales de los residentes.
Es importante señalar que se trata de proyectos de recomendaciones, no de planes finalizados. Esta segunda ronda de compromiso es fundamental para asegurar que las recomendaciones finales reflejen las diversas necesidades de nuestra comunidad. Su participación y retroalimentación son esenciales para dar forma a un programa que funcione para todos.
Para unirse a las próximas reuniones de la comunidad, ya sea en persona o virtualmente, consulte los detalles de la reunión a continuación. Esperamos escuchar sus opiniones y continuar con este esfuerzo de colaboración.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What should I do if I am hosting a large gathering?
If you are hosting a large gathering you will need to contact the Public Works Department at (818-898-1222 or PublicWorks@sfcity.org) to obtain an Encroachment Permit. You will be charged per each parking stall that will be used as part of the event. Please do so at least 7 to 10 business days in advance in order for proper posting of parking restrictions signs.
My vehicle registration doesn't have my address. / I just moved. / I purchased a new or used car.
The address on your vehicle registration must match the address for which the permit is being issued. Failure to provide the correct information may result in a parking citation. Be sure to update your vehicle registration promptly to avoid any issues.
What do I do if my vehicle is a company vehicle and is not registered in my name or address?
If your vehicle is a company vehicle and is not registered in your name or address, we recommend parking it in your driveway or garage. Alternatively, you may obtain a permit for one of your personal vehicles or park the company vehicle outside the permit district boundary. Please note that failure to comply may result in a parking citation.
I sold/ traded/ donated/ totaled the vehicle associated with my permit. Do I need to apply for another permit or can I receive a replacement permit for my new vehicle?
If you have sold, traded, donated, or totaled your permitted vehicle, you can obtain a new permit for the replacement vehicle. The previously issued permit will be canceled, and anyone using the canceled permit may receive a citation.
My neighbor constantly parks their car in front of my house. Is this a violation?
If your neighbor has a valid residential parking permit displayed on their windshield, this is not a violation. A valid residential parking permit allows the holder to park anywhere within the designated permit zone. However, if your neighbor does not have a valid permit or is blocking your driveway, these actions constitute a violation and may result in enforcement action.
How do I contact Parking Enforcement?
To contact parking enforcement, please call the San Fernando Police Department’s non-emergency line: (818) 898-1267; dial “0” to be directed to dispatch.
