Ordinance of the Council of the City of Palo Alto Amending the Fiscal Year 2022
Municipal Fee Schedule to Add and Amend Parking Permit Fees for Business
District and Residential Parking Permits
The Council of the City of Palo Alto ORDAINS as follows:
SECTION 1. Findings and Declarations. The City Council finds and declares as follows:
A. The City has various paid parking programs as authorized by Palo Alto Municipal
Code Chapter 10.46 (College Terrace Residential Parking Permit Program), Chapter 10.50
(Residential Preferential Parking Districts), and Section 10.60.070 (Permit parking in city lots),
among others.
B. The fees for parking permits authorized by these ordinances are set in the City’s
Municipal Fee Schedule.
C. Based on recommendation from the Finance Committee, the City Council desires
to increase certain parking permit fees as described in this Ordinance.
SECTION 2. The Council of the City of Palo Alto amends the Fiscal Year 2022 Municipal Fee
Schedule by amending and restating the Office of Transportation’s parking permit fees as set
forth in Exhibit “A” and incorporated here by reference. All fees not listed in Exhibit “A” remain
unchanged.
SECTION 3. The fees in this Ordinance are a charge imposed for a specific benefit conferred or
privilege granted directly to the payor that is not provided to those not changed, and which does
not exceed the reasonable costs to local government of conferring the benefit or granting the
privilege; or for voluntary entrance and/or use of government property. Pursuant to Art. XIII C,
Section I(e)(2) and (4) of the California Constitution, these fees are not a tax.
