Summary
A Moreno Valley film permittee must notify every affected owner and occupant at least 48 hours before any filming that closes a street, restricts parking, or blocks property access, under Municipal Code Section 5.24.070(J). Notice expands to a 500-foot radius if the shoot runs past two days or films overnight in a residential zone.
Notification. It shall be the responsibility of the applicant to provide notification a minimum of 48 hours prior to any filming activity on a designated city form to the following: 1. Owners and occupants, whether residents or businesses, of properties affected by filming activity by virtue of (a) filming on the property or in the public right-of-way adjacent to the property; (b) storage of equipment or vehicles associated with the film production either on the property or in a public right-of-way adjacent to the property; or (c) street closure, temporary restricted parking or other actions which affect the ability of persons or vehicles not associated with the filming to access the property or to park in front of the property.

Full Breakdown
070(J)(1) makes it the permittee's responsibility to notify, at least 48 hours in advance and on a designated city form, every owner and occupant, whether a resident or a business, of any property affected by the filming through on-property or adjacent right-of-way filming, equipment or vehicle storage on or near the property, or a street closure, temporary restricted parking, or other action that blocks people or vehicles from accessing or parking near the property. : in either case every owner or occupant within 500 feet of the affected properties must also be notified, unless the film permit coordinator determines the wider notice can be waived because the filming won't adversely affect those additional properties.
070(J)(3) makes the responses the city receives to that notice part of the record the coordinator weighs in deciding the permit application, and those responses can lead to added conditions or an outright denial. 070(F) requires the applicant to get city permission before parking equipment, trucks, or cars in a restricted zone, and the city, not the production, must post any temporary "No Parking" signs the closure requires. 070(G) layers on CHP or Moreno Valley police traffic control, advance warning signs meeting Caltrans standards, and a rule that emergency roadwork or construction always outranks a film shoot's use of the street.
Violations & Fines
Failing to give the required 48-hour, or 500-foot, notification before a street closure or restricted parking action is a chapter violation that the film permit coordinator can treat as grounds for revoking or suspending the permit under Section 5.24.080, in addition to punishment under Sections 1.01.200 through 1.01.230 per Section 5.24.100. Blocking an emergency access road, which Section 5.24.070(I) bars outright, carries the same exposure.
