§ 3-2.1901. Procedure for Designating Residential Parking Permit Zone.

Upon the receipt and verification of the petition prescribed by the City containing the valid signatures and phone numbers of at least sixty-seven (67) percent of the residents and/or owners of real property in a specific residential area proposed for designation, the City Engineer shall direct surveys or studies necessary to determine whether a residential area is suitable as a residential parking permit zone. Council shall conduct a public hearing to consider whether that residential area should be designated as a residential parking permit zone. Upon a finding by Council that the area proposed for designation has unique residential parking problems, due to the nature, location, frequency or duration of activities or events causing such problems, that outweigh the needs of the general public for access to the area and its facilities, the Council may by resolution establish a residential parking permit zone for said residential area in accordance with the provisions of this article. Such resolution shall state the findings of necessity for the zone designation, the boundaries of the residential parking permit zone, the applicable time limitations, the day or days of restriction, and such other conditions as Council deems necessary and in the public interest. Persons occupying residences on streets within a residential parking permit zone shall be exempt from the general restrictions of parking. Such exemptions shall be evidenced by issuance of a valid parking permit displayed in the manner indicated at the time of issuance.

Council shall not consider permit zone establishment for a particular residential area more frequently than once each year.
