City staff outlined proposed revisions to Jurupa Valley’s citywide residential parking permit policy at the Public Works Advisory Committee meeting on Jan. 9, saying the update would encourage petitioners to take a more active role and give the city a mechanism to recover permit-issuance fees.

Under the draft changes described by Steve Lariso, permit issuance would be tied to vehicle registration (applicants would present a vehicle registration to receive a permit), permits could carry an issuance fee to recover city costs, and permit renewal would be standardized to a three-year period rather than staggered expirations. Staff said the existing thresholds remain: 100% of residents on a block or segment must be notified and 75% of residents in that block or segment must support permit parking for it to be adopted.

Why this matters: staff said the city has implemented permit parking in areas that experienced overflow parking—Pedley and another area developed around Rubidoux High School—and development such as Paradise Knolls has increased neighborhood requests. Staff asked the committee for feedback and said they will return with a revised policy for further review.

Committee members asked whether the policy would apply only to the two existing permit areas; staff said the policy is citywide and intended to provide a consistent process for future requests. Staff also said earlier successful permit zones were created to manage parking near river access and park facilities, and the updated policy is meant to be applied uniformly as new permit requests arise.

Ending: Staff will bring the draft policy back to the committee at a future meeting for further comments and possible recommendation to City Council.
