Residential Parking Program

The City of San Fernando is currently reevaluating and refining its Residential Parking Permit (RPP) Program to better address parking needs in residential areas.

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.

Virtual Community Meeting Recording: Wednesday, December 4, 2024

Watch the recording of our last Community Meeting, hosted on December 4, 2024, here! During the meeting, we went over the Residential Parking Program, the findings from our data collection, and answered questions from residents.

This meeting wraps up our first round of community engagement meetings. We will resume community meetings in early 2025 to present the City's recommendations and receive community input. If you have questions or comments, please complete the parking survey or email us at ResParkingProgram@sfcity.org.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
