MEMORANDUM
D ATE: October 19, 2021
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: Bryan Cook, City Manager
By: Bryan Ariizumi, Public Safety Supervisor
SUBJECT: DISCUSSION REGARDING PROPOSED PROGRAM GUIDELINE FOR
THE 72 HOUR PARKING RESTRICTION EXEMPTION
RECOMMENDATION:
The City Council is requested to provide direction as to how staff is to proceed
regarding providing residents with an exemption from the 72 hour parking restrictions.
BACKGROUND:
1.On July 20, 2021, Mayor Pro Tem Sternquist asked staff to look into the
development of a program that would provide residents with an exemption from
the 72-hour parking restriction.
2.On September 7, 2021, the City Council directed staff to bring back a report with
recommended solutions to the 72 hour parking restriction for further discussion.
ANALYSIS :
As directed, staff has prepared recommended solutions for the development and
implementation of a 72 Hour Parking Exemption Permit Program. As proposed, the
permit program would maintain Temple City’s quality of life and will balance the needs
of the residents and the City’s responsibility to enforce local and state parking
restrictions and regulations.
Staff surveyed 30 cities (Attachment “A”) in the San Gabriel Valley and none offers an
exemption to the 72 hour parking restriction.

72 HOUR PARKING EXEMPTION PERMIT PROGRAM RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Only residents with a valid annual Overnight Parking Permit would be eligible to
apply for a 72 Hour Parking Exemption Permit. Residents with an annual
Overnight Parking Permit have demonstrated a need to park a vehicle on the
public street (i.e., insufficient parking on their property).
2. Permits may only be requested and approved for the following reason:
a. Resident(s) will be out of town for a prolonged period of time and does not
have any person available to move the vehicle.
3. The permit must be displayed face up on the driver’s side dashboard in a vehicle
with a valid, and properly displayed, annual Overnight Parking Permit. Permits
improperly displayed shall be deemed invalid and the vehicle will be subject to
being cited and/or towed. The permit is non-transferrable and is valid only for
the vehicle it is issued for.
4. The vehicle must be parked on the street adjacent to the applicant’s residence.
a. The permit will be deemed invalid if the vehicle is parked in front of
another residence, and the vehicle will be subject to being cited and/or
towed.
5. Residents may apply for a maximum of two (2) permits, per vehicle with a valid
annual Overnight Parking Permit, in a calendar year.
a. Only one (1) permit, per vehicle, may be issued at a time.
b. A period of 90 days shall have lapsed before a second permit can be
issued.
6. The permit will be valid for up to 144 hours (i.e., 6 days) from the date of
issuance.
a. The permit will be valid beginning on the date an application is submitted
and the permit is issued. EXCEPTION: A resident who needs a permit to
begin on a Saturday or Sunday will be issued a permit that is valid
beginning on Saturday or Sunday.
b. Residents requesting a permit that begins on a Saturday or Sunday must
apply for a permit on the Friday immediately preceding the weekend.
c. The permit will expire at 11:59 p.m. on the sixth (6th) day of the permit.
7. Permits will only be issued by city staff, in City Hall, during regular business
hours. This will ensure that permits are properly tracked and issued.
8. The permit only provides an exemption from the 72 hour and time-limit parking
restrictions. All other parking restrictions and regulations (e.g., street sweeping)
will be enforced.

9. A vehicle displaying a valid disabled placard or license plate would be allowed to
park without displaying a 72 Hour Parking Exemption Permit. Under state law,
vehicles properly displaying a valid disabled placard or license plate may park on
streets where preferential parking privileges are given to residents and
merchants.
a. Placard holders do not need to report to, or obtain permission from, the
City to exercise the exemptions in the permit program.
