Roseville, CA Filming & Production: Street Closures (2026)

Under Sec. 130, an applicant who wants to close a street as part of a filming activity must apply for an encroachment permit, which the city manager or his or her designated representative reviews separately from the film permit. As a condition of that encroachment permit, the production must give at least 24 hours' written notice of the proposed closure to every resident and business owner within 300 feet of the street or streets being closed. Applications involving a street closure carry their own filing deadline: Sec.

050 requires the film permit application to be submitted at least ten business days before the first day of filming whenever the shoot includes street closures, stunts, or pyrotechnics, giving city departments time to coordinate the closure, notice, and any traffic control. The coordinator can also impose additional conditions on a permit that includes a closure, including posting no-parking signs, placing traffic control devices, hiring traffic and crowd control monitors at the applicant's expense, and posting the outer boundaries of the filming activity (Sec. 080(B)-(C)). 130 was amended once after adoption, by Ord. 3145 Sec. 1 in 1997, to reach its current form.
