The scaled plan should also include the location of signs, any equipment trucks, food service, or catering trucks, generators (or other sources of electricity), portable toilets, any additional trash cans, as well as any other large equipment or temporary structures such as stages that may lie in the public right-of-way.
   
   
4. Food service operations, catering trucks, generators, stages, and tents require separate permits in addition to the Special Event Permit. For additional details or guidance, please contact SEFO@TorranceCA.Gov to ensure all necessary permits are obtained.
   
   
5. If the project is likely to affect public right-of-way traffic, the scaled plan should also include alternative public routes. The traffic control plan should be prepared and stamped by a certified engineers per City standards for any proposed special event activity that needs street closure, whether it is a full or half closure. City review and approval of the plan is required.

Parking Requirements

2. The City's parking regulations will be enforced as posted. Fines and towing will be enforced for violators.
   
   
3. Food service and catering trucks must be parked on private property unless otherwise permitted by the City. Cars, tables and other obstructions may not be placed in the public right-of-way or on sidewalks.
