Inglewood Municipal Code § 3-76 Establishment of a Permit Parking District

A Permit Parking District may be established in any of the following manners:

(a) Upon the receipt of a petition from the residents and/or business persons of a particular neighborhood requesting the establishment of a Permit Parking District and citing the reasons for such request, the Public Works Director or designee shall study the request and the site of the request to determine if a district is warranted and if there are alternative means to resolve any neighborhood parking problems that instigated the petition. The Director or designee shall further determine the appropriate boundary of any prospective district. The petition must bear the signatures of adults from a minimum of ten different households and/or businesses as evidence of a neighborhood desire to establish a district.

The findings of the study and recommendations of the Director or designee shall be presented to the Parking and Traffic Commission at a public hearing. Both petitioners and owners of those properties fronting on the street(s) that may be included within the district shall be duly notified of the public hearing. After receiving the recommendation of the Public Works Director and the comments of the public, the Commission shall determine if the establishment of a Permit Parking District is warranted and what the boundaries of the district should be. If determined to be warranted by the Commission, the Public Works Director or designee shall mail or otherwise deliver one questionnaire to each readily known address within the proposed district (properties fronting on any street or portions of streets that will be subject to permit parking) requesting approval or disapproval of the establishment of the district. If a minimum of seventy-five percent of the questionnaires returned to the Public Works Director, within a minimum period of thirty calendar days, support the establishment of the district, an ordinance establishing the Permit Parking District shall be submitted to the City Council for consideration and adoption to amend the Municipal Code accordingly.

(b) City staff may recommend the establishment of a Permit Parking District to the City Council and introduce an ordinance for the City Council's consideration.

(c) The City Council may, at its discretion, direct City staff to study the establishment of a Permit Parking District and introduce an ordinance for the City Council's consideration.
