That question would be best answered by City Hall. They’re putting new sealcoat on the parking lot and restriping it. I noticed today there is signage in front of those 4 spots. I know they didn’t used to be posted, but they are now. If challenged, they would be enforceable at this time.
I’ll try to get a map of available parking spots to provide to you and your tenants as soon as I can.

Hi Bobby, I'm trying to get some clarity on the four spots directly next to my building. I was told by the previous owner that those spots were designated for the buildings tenants, but I've never been able to get any documentation. The tenants want to have confidence that if they park in one of those four spots that there wont be any issues. Can you or someone provide any guidance on this?
Thanks
Jock

Hello All,
I received a call from the police today regarding parking. Please see the email below. Please make sure everyone in your household is abiding by the parking ordinances both in front of the building AND behind. Also make sure any of your guests are also abiding by this policy. The city managers office is right in view of parking in the front of the building and this has become a 'bee in his bonnet' so your vehicle WILL be impounded if you ignore it. They have been kind enough to give fair warning. Please take it seriously. Also the space in front should be left generally open so that customers can patronize the Antique store below.
Thanks
Jock

Jock, thank you for your time today, please send a copy of this ordinace to your tenants as a reminder. The police department tries to address complaints and violations at the lowest level and increase incrementally. The signage would be the first level, then a warning, then a citation, and up to citing and impounding the vehicle. The City of Molalla provides 72 hour parking in the city parking lots directly behind City Hall and on Marson Ct. There are 2 rows behind City Hall for City Hall business parking only during specific hours, and it’s posted as such. Since the City and PD share a building, it’s very easy to pass along parking complaints directly in view of City Hall or in the City designated spaces.
If there are any questions regarding parking rules and regulations, please call the Non-Emergency Dispatch at 503-655-8211 option #1 and request to speak to an officer.
Thanks!
