Fremont Approves Amendments to Parking Regulations

On Tuesday, November 12, the Fremont City Council approved amendments to the Fremont Municipal Code that enhances the City’s authority to enforce rules that prohibit long-term street parking (72 hours) as well as parking oversized vehicles in residential neighborhoods. The new code will require that any vehicle that has been parked in the same location for 72 hours move at least 1,000 feet from its current location and may not return to the same parking spot for at least 24 hours. The vehicle could be cited or towed under certain circumstances if not moved within 36 hours of receiving a City-issued warning.

Additionally, oversized vehicles, including any attached trailers, vehicles, or loads which exceed 22 feet in length, and/or 6 feet in width and 7 feet in height, are no longer allowed to park on any public street within 100 feet of a residential property line. The ordinance allows for limited exemptions of loading/unloading, emergency vehicles and commercial deliveries. If the oversized vehicle is not moved within 24 hours after receiving a warning notice, the vehicle could receive a citation and will be at risk for getting towed.

The new rules will become effective in December 2024. Utilizing existing resources, City staff will prioritize the City’s most urgent safety concerns. More information is available at *https://city.fremont.gov/parkingenforcement [ https://city.fremont.gov/parkingenforcement. ].*

* Used paper towels, paper plates, and paper cups belong in recycling bins and containers because they’re made of paper. FALSE: *Composting is the best option.*
