Upon receipt of a completed application, the Police Department
shall provide a copy to the CBD Parking Commission, License Commission,
Superintendent of Highways, City Engineer, and Planning Director for
review and comment. All applications for an initial permit or renewal
of an existing permit are subject to an evaluation in order to insure
that there is safe and adequate vehicular access to and from the valet
parking zone and that the vehicular traffic expected to be generated
by the valet parking operation will not cause undue traffic congestion,
block or impede the flow of traffic or pose a public safety hazard
by delaying or preventing access in or throughout the area of the
valet parking zone. The evaluation shall be completed promptly but
no later than 30 days following receipt of a complete application.
Valet parking permits shall be issued to establishments or independent valet parking operators for the period July 1 through June 30. Special or one-day permits may be issued as provided in §
240-116 below. All permits shall expire on June 30 of each year and must be renewed annually. The Police Department shall receive and maintain a log of comments and complaints throughout the year and shall provide such log to the City Council for review at the annual renewal of existing permits. No valet parking permit may be issued, renewed, be removed from suspension, or be reinstated following revocation until all fines issued thereunder and any other payments due and owing to the City of Haverhill have been fully satisfied.
The fees for the use of the curb space and signage are as follows:
$20 per linear foot of curb space per year and $150 per sign for a
five-year period. Fees may be prorated for the first year a permit
is issued to an establishment commencing with the first full month
the permit is issued.
The Police Chief may, in his or her discretion, issue special
or one-day permits for valet parking. Such permits shall, as determined
by the Police Chief, comply with all of the provisions hereunder,
and applications for such permits shall be submitted no later than
72 hours prior to the date of the event. The fee for a special or
one-day permit shall be $50 for each such permit.
In case any section, paragraph or part of this article is for
any reason declared invalid or unconstitutional by any court, every
other section, paragraph, and part shall continue in full force and
effect.
