Temporary Resident-Only Permit Parking Program

This program is designed to enhance the safety of your neighborhood during events. Resolution 26- 05 passed by council authorizes a temporary on-street parking restriction.  

Each household in the affected neighborhoods (see map below) will be issued two permits for residents to park on the street during Isla Vista's Deltopia. Residents are encouraged to park in their garages or driveways where no permit is needed. Only vehicles with valid permits will be able to park on the public streets in this area from:

Noon on Friday, April 3^rd to 7:00 AM Sunday, April 5th

Should Deltopia move to the following weekend, the restrictions will be in place from Noon on Friday, April 10th to 7:00 a.m. on Sunday, April 12th.

The safety and comfort of Goleta citizens is important to us. If you have any questions about this program, or have feedback before or after the event, please contact the Neighborhood Services Department at 805-961-7554 or by email at parkingfeedback@cityofgoleta.gov. 

Use the interactive map below to see if your address is within the Temporary Parking Restriction Zone. Click the magnifying glass icon, enter your address, and check the results—if your address appears inside the blue boundary, it is within the restricted area.

What area does this program cover? Hollister Avenue to the southern City limit (generally Whittier Drive), from Cannon Green Drive (including those cul-de-sac streets on the west side of Cannon Green Drive) to Storke Road.

Is there a permit fee? No. 

What should I do with the permit once I receive it? Each permit has an address and permit number listed.  Write in the license plate number of the vehicle you plan to park on the street and tape the permit to the inside of the driver’s side window by Noon on Friday, April 3rd.

I have more than two vehicles that need to be parked on the street.  Can I obtain an additional permit(s)?  Yes, with proof of address, insurance, or vehicle ownership. Come to City Hall Reception Desk Monday – Thursday, 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. to pick up additional permits. Permits must be picked by 5:00 PM. on Thursday, April 2nd.  

I have a guest coming into town during this weekend, can they be issued a permit?  No.  This program is for our residents only. Your guest can park in your driveway, and you can use a permit to park your vehicle on the street.

Will access to my neighborhood be restricted? No road access will be restricted. Message boards will be placed at the entrances of the affected areas.  Law enforcement officers and tow trucks may be visible during the weekend as these parking restrictions are enforced.

My child has an activity at Girsh Park over the weekend, where should I park? Parking spaces are available in the Girsh parking lots. Organized activities at Girsh Park have been issued daytime permits to distribute for activities at Girsh Park.

A vehicle is parked on my street without a permit, who should I call? Please call the non-emergency number for the police at 805-683-2724, and the dispatcher will take the information and route it to a deputy for action.
