Rancho Cordova, CA Parking Rules: Preferential Parking Districts (2026)

25 RCMC establishes the city's preferential residential permit parking program, created to help residents secure on-street parking in areas regularly affected by nonresident vehicles. 040, an area qualifies if it is adversely affected by nonresident parking for an extended period during the day, night, weekends or holidays; the public works director and city council weigh resident demand, how much on-street parking is occupied during the proposed restricted hours, and whether the vehicles parked there are commuters rather than residents. 050 requires residents to first consult the public works director on proposed boundaries, then submit a petition showing at least 60 percent of neighborhood residents favor permit parking.

The director then evaluates the proposal, holds a noticed public hearing within 30 days of completing that evaluation, and mails follow-up notices within 30 days after the hearing so residents can register support or opposition. 060, the director issues a written recommendation to the city council within 60 days of the close of hearings, and the council may adopt a resolution establishing the program, its boundaries, restrictions and any fees. 080. 100. 180.
