At its meeting on Monday, August 17, 2020, the Pasadena City Council voted to resume enforcement of the overnight parking ordinance, daytime street sweeping as well as the development of other parking programs.
By News Desk
The changes are as follow:
Overnight enforcement
Overnight enforcement to resume August 18th. Warnings to be issued for two weeks, with citations to resume September 1st.
Emergency COVID-19 overnight parking permits
Sale of emergency COVID-19 overnight parking permits that would allow vehicles not otherwise qualified per section 10.44.20 of the Pasadena Municipal Code to park on street. Permits will be valid for 90-day increments, and can be renewed until the end of the City’s safer at home order. The fee for this permit will be tied to General Fee Schedule Fee 804 – Thirty Day Parking Permit, and will sell for $73.38 per 90-day period. Per Section 10.42.060(C) of the Pasadena Municipal Code, a two permit limit per address would remain in place.
Creation of a new low-income fee waiver program for overnight parking permits.
Individuals may qualify by meeting criteria set forth in subdivision (b) of Section 68632 of the California Government Code, which includes individuals receiving public benefits under certain programs. Individuals determined to be eligible for the low-income fee waiver program will receive a 50% discount on Annual Overnight and Temporary 90-Day Overnight permits.
Daytime street sweeping
Enforcement of daytime street sweeping restrictions will resume August 181h. Warnings to be issued for two weeks, with citations to resume September 1st.
Non-critical vehicle impounds and booting
Resumption of non-critical vehicle impounds and booting, including for vehicles with five or more past due parking citations, and for vehicles with expired registrations, will be effective in November.

Yep, city has to recoup the money distributed to PUSD for student meals. Is a is a cycle nothing comes for free.
Gonzalez MariaChavez it was free for almost 5 months.
It should be free for the entire year. There are already several taxes on the books that pay for the maintenance of roads. I understand the true intention for the strict parking enforcement is to prevent residential areas from becoming parking lots and to an extent I support that view. The city has turned parking on a public roadway in front of your own house into a privilege. To make matters worse they don’t make it easy to apply for a permit. I tried to apply for the privilege of a 90 day Covid permit and the website doesn’t let me. The 90 day is supposed to be a temporary emergency measure yet they still ask for the same requirements as an annual permit. The city wants you to either pay the nightly fee or gamble with a citation. I guess I’ll have to make an appointment, go the office and risk getting sick. They probably have a fee for that too.
