The purpose of this informal report is to provide details about the residential permit parking
program (RPPP) adopted by the City Council in December of 2017. The program addresses
safety concerns related to spillover parking in neighborhoods adjacent to non-residential parking
generators. The ordinance identifies five non-residential parking generators where the
neighborhoods will be eligible for a residential permit parking program as determined by traffic
studies.
The five non-residential parking generators are identified as follows: Will Roger Memorial
Center/Dickies Arena; Texas Christian University and the University of North Texas Health
Science Center - for these three generators, existing residential permit parking zones have been
previously established through parking utilization studies and the installation of parking signs. The
Stockyards and Magnolia Historic Area are also identified as being non-residential parking
generators but further parking utilization studies and input from adjacent property owners are
needed prior to starting the program in these areas. The ability to move forward with studies and
implementation of the program in these areas, as well as expanding existing areas will also be
based on the availability of resources through the annual budget process.
As part of these new regulations, those who own property or occupy a residence (single-family
home, duplex, or multifamily) located within a designated resident-parking-only-zone must submit
an application for permits. A residence may receive up to three annual permits and two vendor
permits for (yard crews, child care providers or other service companies). Unlimited visitor and
temporary permits are also available.
Requests for all residential parking permits types can be made online at SP Plus website-link to
Residential Association webpage. At this time, there are no costs for acquiring permits.
The annual permits and vendor permits are valid for one year and expire at 11:59:59 P.M.
December 31 of each year and must be picked up at Will Rogers Memorial Center and/or 405
W. 7t" Street. Stickers are being used for annual permits, and hangtags are being used for vendor
permits. Pick up is available Monday thru Friday from 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. Visitor and
temporary permits are available for residents who have guests coming and may be requested
online not less than 24 hours before the permit is scheduled to be used. Visitor permits are valid
for 24 hours. Temporary permits are valid for 30 days and are available for those times when
residents are using a temporary vehicle or have long-term guests and may also be requested
online.
Enforcement within the resident-parking-only zones will focus on spillover parking from the non-
residential generators. During normal business hours, the City's Transportation & Public Works
parking enforcement team will be available to address spillover parking and any related
complaints. Complaints related to vehicles parking in a resident-parking-only-zone with no permit
can be directed to 817 392-2091. Warnings will be issued in the first few weeks as we educate

Memorial Center/Dickies Arena area being the first existing permit zone to be converted to the
new residential parking permit program. The other two existing zones will follow. Informational
pamphlets will be distributed to those residing in an existing resident-parking-only-zone leading
