Full Breakdown
Section 10.28.080 names the affected roadway segments directly: Via del Parque, Via Bernardo, Via Cota, the posted portion of Los Monteros between Paseo De Toronto and 5350 Los Monteros, and all of Las Patranas Street. Parking on those streets is prohibited except by residents of the street itself. Qualifying residents obtain a parking permit from the Director of Public Works by showing sufficient proof of residency. The section caps issuance at two permanent decal permits per family per residence, requires the permanent decal to be affixed to the inside left portion of the rear window, and separately allows up to three guest parking permits per residence, which must be hung from the vehicle's rear-view mirror in plain view of enforcement personnel rather than affixed to the window.
Subsection C lets the City Manager adopt administrative and enforcement procedures that do not conflict with the ordinance, and subsection D makes clear the restriction is not enforceable on any of the five streets until the City has actually posted the required signs and curb markings giving notice of the permit requirement. This is Yorba Linda's only codified resident-only parking program; it is not a citywide permit district scheme but a fixed list of named streets adopted by ordinance in 1988 through 1991.
Violations & Fines
Parking on a restricted segment of Via del Parque, Via Bernardo, Via Cota, the designated Los Monteros stretch, or Las Patranas Street without a valid decal or guest permit is enforced once signage is posted, under the citywide penalty structure in Section 1.12.010: a first infraction carries a fine up to $100, a second violation of the same section within 12 months up to $200, and repeat violations can be charged as a misdemeanor with a fine up to $1,000 and up to six months' imprisonment.
