Redondo Beach, CA Parking Rules: Preferential Parking Districts (2026)

1701, but only after finding the zone is needed to protect residents' quality of life from noise, traffic hazards or pollution caused by commuter traffic, to provide convenient parking for adjacent residents, and to encourage carpooling and transit use. 1703 sets the process in motion: residents must first submit a petition, verified by the City Engineer, signed by two-thirds of the occupants representing at least 50% of the developed street frontage. The City Engineer then runs a parking survey and finds the block excessively impacted if more than 75% of legal on-street spaces are filled and more than 25% of those spaces are taken by nonresident vehicles.

If the criteria are met, the Traffic and Transportation Commission holds a public hearing with at least 10 days' mailed and published notice, then recommends a resolution to the City Council for final approval. 1703(g) lets the City Manager designate a zone for one calendar year, without the petition and hearing process, upon finding the area is within 500 feet of a declared nuisance; that designation and its fee waiver can be extended year to year as long as the nuisance finding still holds. 1704: one per noncommercial vehicle registered to the residence, up to two visitor permits per dwelling, and up to five one-day permits for real estate agents holding open houses. 1705(e). 1706 if a similar two-thirds petition shows the original findings no longer hold.
