2. PREFERENTIAL PARKING PERMITS – FOR VISITORS ONLY
It has come to our attention that college students are looking for parking spaces in our neighboorhood and may be seeking Holmby Westwood residents who are willing to provide such parking in our Preferential Parking Districts (11 and 35).
Every homeowner who buys parking permits from the City of LA has received written information that these permits are intended for visiting a resident only. Usage for purposes other than visiting a resident is prohibited and subject to citation as well as having your preferential parking privileges revoked.
We are asking you to please refrain from using your permits in any way that would cause them to be revoked.
Thank you for your understanding!
