Establishing a Permit District

To establish a permit district, contact the Traffic Engineering Division at (619) 533-3126 and ask for a petition.

• Circulate the petition among the residents in the neighborhood. The petition must be at least 50% of the residents in the affected area. Only residents may sign; signatures of property managers or non-resident property owners are not accepted.

• Return the petition to the Traffic Engineering Division. A parking survey will be conducted to evaluate the impact on the neighborhood of parking by commuter vehicles.

• If the survey indicates that a residential permit parking district should be established, a noticed public hearing will be held for all residents of the proposed district.

• Final decision on establishments of a district is made by the City Council.

• The entire process to establish a residential permit parking district will take approximately one year.
