Residential Permit Parking Districts are established in designated blocks to prohibit parking by non-residents. Vehicles parked in violation are subject to a $75 fine for each violation and may be towed at the owner’s expense. Districts are normally created in areas near schools or metro stations where the availability of parking for residents is affected by non-resident parking. The qualifications for establishing a Residential Permit Parking District are:
• Residential road within 2000 ft. walking distance from a pedestrian entrance and/or 1000 ft. from the property boundary of a high school, college/university or metro station pedestrian entrance; OR
• Other residential streets where 75% of the parking spaces are occupied by vehicles and of those parked vehicles at least 50% are non-resident. A minimum of 100 contiguous spaces are needed to establish a new district. This minimum does not pertain to an expansion. |
