Parking Permits

The Home Park Resident Permit Parking Program was developed in the mid-70's when Home Park began having serious problems with parking in the neighborhood. A program was devised to deal with it, but for some reason Home Park did not try to enact it at that time. However, Ansley Park used the idea and successfully restricted parking on their streets. In 1987 the City Council passed a zoning restriction designating Home Park as a Special Public Interest zone (Atlanta City Code 16-18H.0001) SPI-8 requiring all new construction or major renovation to include an off-street parking space for each bedroom. In 1995, anticipating a flood of visitors for the Olympics, Home Park residents enacted a temporary program of requiring residents to purchase parking stickers to allow on-street parking. We were advised at that time that we could make a similar program permanent by obtaining signatures of 75% of property owners on affected blocks and petitioning the City Council, through the Utilities and Streets Committee, to enact this restriction. This was done and passed administratively on November 2, 1997, creating a Zone HP for Home Park residents. The same ordinance is used as for Ansley Park and other intown neighborhoods; streets are added on as residents request it. An amendment was passed in October 1998 adding more streets to the original zone.
