What is the difference between a Temporary Encroachment Permit and a regular Encroachment Permit?

The easiest way to think about this is the level of oversight and inspection by City staff that will be required. For example, if work is being conducted in the Right-of-Way for any length of time, a regular Encroachment Permit will be required as it may require inspection by City Staff.  If you are parking a moving truck in the Right-of-Way for three days this would only require a temporary Encroachment Permit as no oversight will be required by City Staff.
