RESOLUTION NO. 11436 (2023 SERIES)
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN LUIS
OBISPO, CALIFORNIA, TEMPORARILY DEFERRING NEW
PREFERENTIAL PARKING PERMIT DISTRICTS
WHEREAS, the City of San Luis Obispo recognizes the importance of managing
parking within its jurisdiction to ensure equitable access and efficient utilization of limited
parking spaces; and
WHEREAS, Preferential Parking Permit Districts have been established in various
areas of the city to address parking challenges specific to those neighborhoods pursuant
to San Luis Obispo Municipal Code Chapter 10.36.170; and
WHEREAS, the establishment of new Preferential Parking Permit Districts
requires careful evaluation of the existing parking conditions, community input, and
thorough analysis by Parking Services; and
WHEREAS, the City Council acknowledges the need to reassess the criteria and
procedures for establishing new Preferential Parking Permit Districts to ensure their
effectiveness and compatibility with the city’s evolving parking needs.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of San Luis
Obispo as follows:
SECTION 1. New Preferential Parking Districts, as defined in San Luis Obispo
Municipal Code Section 10.36.170 will be temporarily deferred until further notice,
effective immediately. During this temporary deferral period, no new Preferential Parking
Permit Districts will be established, with the exception of the proposed Parking District
shown in Exhibit A that is generally shown as areas on Broad Street from Lincoln to
Ramona Drive, and if this area should form a Preferential Parking District, it shall be
formed under any existing rules and shall conform to new applicable guidelines as
determined by the City Council.
SECTION 2. Parking Services will continue to receive requests for new Preferential
Parking Districts during the deferral period. However, these requests will be placed on
hold and will not be processed until the temporary deferral is lifted by resolution of the
City Council.
SECTION 3. During the temporary deferral period, Parking Services will conduct a
comprehensive review and assessment of the existing criteria and procedures for
establishing and operating Preferential Parking Permit Districts. This review should
include a thorough analysis of parking demand, impacts on affected neighborhoods, and
consideration of alternative parking management strategies.

review and public input with the goal to adopt a revised program by Fall 2024.

Parking Services shall present their findings and recommendations to the City Council for
further consideration and direction on potential updates and revisions to the criteria and
procedures for establishing Preferential Parking Permit Districts.
