What is #302?
Form #302, Engineering Permit Application – TEMPORARY NO PARKING, is the City of Berkeley Public Works Engineering application for temporary No Parking restrictions on curb spaces used by construction vehicles, moving vehicles, moving containers and debris boxes/dumpsters.
The form is two pages. Page 1 collects the applicant's information, the dates and times of the restriction, the number of standard and restricted spaces, how the spaces will be used, and a table of permit fees. Page 2 is the No Parking Schematic Plan, a dimensioned drawing that shows where the spaces sit relative to the property (building, driveway, sidewalk and street), together with the address, the associated building permit number and a repeat of the request details.
The form sets some rules of its own. A space is counted as 20 linear feet. Standard spaces include all residential zones and unrestricted curbs; restricted spaces are metered spaces and Blue, Yellow, White or Green curbs. Parking is never allowed at a Red curb. Moving vehicles, moving containers and debris boxes/dumpsters are marked with a 2-week maximum duration.
Permits issued to private parties may be temporarily suspended when reasonably necessary for public convenience or safety, citing BMC 16.16.050.
Who needs to file #302?
Anyone who needs curb parking set aside temporarily in Berkeley for one of the uses printed on the form files this application:
- construction vehicles;
- moving vehicles;
- a moving container;
- a debris box/dumpster.
The form marks the last three uses with an asterisk and a 2-week maximum duration. The Use of Parking Spaces section also carries a note: 1-2 unit buildings only, less than 2 weeks duration.
Property owners, contractors or movers may be the applicant; the form asks only for the applicant's name, phone number, address, city/state/ZIP and email. It prints no rule about who may sign or apply for someone else.
The form does not cover a Red curb: parking is never allowed there, so a request cannot be made for it.
When to file #302
Submit the application when you know the dates you need the spaces, because the form asks for a start date, end date, start time and end time. The form sets no application deadline of its own.
Timing rules printed on the form:
- Temporary No Parking signs must be posted 72 hours in advance of the restrictions.
- Moving vehicles, moving containers and debris boxes/dumpsters are limited to 2 weeks maximum.
- The printed permit and its attachments must be on site while the restriction is in force, for towing enforcement.
Because permits issued to private parties may be temporarily suspended for public convenience or safety (BMC 16.16.050), confirm your dates with the Permit Service Center before you schedule work or deliveries.
Documents you need
- No Parking Schematic Plan (page 2 of the application): a dimensioned drawing showing the location of the parking spaces relative to the associated property, including building, driveway, sidewalk and street, with standard and restricted spaces clearly labeled.

Include the dimensioned schematic plan from page 2 with the application. Fees apply: the form prints a fee table with a filing fee, a base permit fee, a construction parking fee, a per-sign fee, timed zone/metered area fees (daily or weekly, per space) and a fee for debris boxes, moving containers and PODs. It does not state how fees are paid, so ask the Permit Service Center for current amounts and payment methods.

Common mistakes to avoid
- Leaving out the dimensioned schematic plan on page 2; the form says a schematic plan is required.
- Not labeling standard and restricted spaces on the schematic plan; the form requires both types to be clearly labeled.
- Requesting a moving vehicle, moving container or debris box/dumpster for more than 2 weeks; the form marks these uses with a 2-week maximum.
- Posting Temporary No Parking signs less than 72 hours before the restriction starts.
- Requesting spaces at a Red curb; the form states parking is never allowed there.
- Counting spaces without the 20-linear-feet-per-space rule, or mixing standard spaces with metered spaces and Blue/Yellow/White/Green curbs.
- Not keeping the printed permit and its attachments on site; the form says they are needed for towing enforcement.
- Assuming the permit cannot be suspended; permits issued to private parties may be suspended when reasonably necessary for public convenience or safety (BMC 16.16.050).
