The City of Encinitas does not have any ordinance related to space-saving or dibs for parking spots. This type of regulation is associated with cities that experience heavy snowfall, where residents shovel out parking spaces and place objects to reserve them. Encinitas, located on the San Diego County coast, does not experience snow conditions. Placing objects such as cones, chairs, or barriers in public parking spaces to reserve them is not authorized and would be considered an obstruction of the public right-of-way. All public street parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis subject to posted restrictions and the general 72-hour limit under EMC Chapter 11.20.
Placing objects to reserve public parking spaces could be treated as obstruction of the public right-of-way, subject to removal by city crews and potential citation.
