Residential Permit Parking Districts (RPPD)
Residential Parking Permit Districts (RPPDs) may be established at the request of neighborhood residents when parking is difficult due to high volumes of non-resident vehicles. If public streets in a residential neighborhood meet the RPPD criteria then City Council may restrict on-street parking for non-residents during certain hours or days.
Residents in an existing RPPD are eligible to receive resident parking permits and visitor parking permits allowing them to park in the district.

Requesting a New RPPD
Residents can petition the City to establish a new residential permit parking district in their neighborhood. To qualify for consideration, the area where restrictions are requested must meet the following criteria:
Once City staff receives a valid petition, a study will be conducted to determine whether parking usage patterns warrant a new residential permit parking district. A district is warranted if the study results meet the following criteria:
- At least 75% of parking spaces are occupied.
- At least 50% of parked vehicles are non-resident vehicles.
The City Manager will submit a recommendation to the City Council based on the study and any other relevant factors. City Council may then approve or deny to designate an area as a residential permit parking district.
