The ordinance codified in this chapter is enacted in response to the serious adverse
effects caused in certain areas in neighborhoods of Oakland by motor vehicle congestion,
particularly the long-term parking of motor vehicles on the streets of such areas
and neighborhoods by nonresidents thereof. As set forth in more specific detail in Section 10.44.020, such long-term parking by nonresidents threatens the health, safety and welfare
of all of the residents of Oakland. In order to protect and promote the integrity
of these areas and neighborhoods, it is necessary to enact parking regulations restricting
unlimited parking by nonresidents therein, while providing the opportunity for residents
to park near their homes. Uniform parking regulations restricting residents and nonresidents
alike would not serve the public interest, rather such regulations would contribute
to neighborhood decline while ignoring the public transit alternatives to automobile
travel available to nonresidents. For the reasons set forth in this chapter, a system
of residential permit parking is enacted for the City.
