A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF BAKERSFIELD ESTABLISHING
PREFERENTIAL RESIDENT PERMIT PARKING IN
CERTAIN DESIGNATED AREAS.
WHEREAS, on June 10, 2009, the City Council for the City of Bakersfield
passed Resolution No. 062-09, establishing preferential resident permit parking in
the areas of 1300 to 1419 Princeton Avenue, 1411 to 1421 Panorama Drive, and
1316 to 1413 Radcliffe Avenue.
WHEREAS, on January 4, 2017, the City Council for the City of Bakersfield
passed Resolution 001-17, establishing preferential resident permit parking in the
areas of 1131 to 1250 Princeton Avenue, 1141 to 1201 Panorama Drive, 1136 to
1200 Radcliffe Avenue, and the residential area north of Christmas Tree Lane
between Dana Street and Noel Place, including and ending at 4017 and 4019
Noel Place.
WHEREAS, on May 9, 2018, the City Council for the City of Bakersfield
passed Resolution No. 050-18, expanding the areas designated for preferential
resident permit parking from 1051 to 1713 University Avenue and 1500 to 1712
Duke Drive.
WHEREAS, on January 9, 2019, the City Council for the City of Bakersfield
passed Resolution No. 003-19, expanding the areas designated for preferential
resident permit parking from 1800 Duke Drive to 1920 Duke Drive.
WHEREAS, these Resolutions were based upon the findings, as follows:
a. The City of Bakersfield has received complaints from residents living
by Bakersfield College regarding the lack of available parking near their homes;
b. These streets are predominantly residential and provide only
marginally on -street parking for residents;
C. Street parking across from Bakersfield College is congested with
vehicles parked by persons not residing in the area; and
d. The large numbers of Bakersfield College students parking
off -campus have a detrimental effect on the health, safety, and general
welfare of the residents in these areas by increasing non-residential traffic
volume and parking demand, creating unreasonable burdens on residents in

gaining access to the dwellings, a greater risk of traffic accidents, and a threat
to the residential character of the neighborhood.
WHEREAS, based upon the some findings and reasoning as above, the
City Council desires to expand the areas designated for preferential resident
permit parking to include:
a. Occidental Street from Duke Drive to University Avenue
b. Pomona Street from Duke Drive to University Avenue
WHEREAS, the City Council for the City of Bakersfield continues to believe
that limiting the parking of vehicles in the affected areas to vehicles registered
or controlled and exclusively used by residents living in the area and their guests
is necessary to preserve the quality of life of residents living in the area,
WHEREAS, California Vehicle Code, Section 22507 allows municipalities to
establish preferential parking by resolution or ordinance.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, incorporating the above recitals herein,
by the Council of the City of Bakersfield, that:
