A.
Findings and purpose. The Borough of Coopersburg finds
that:
(1)
Certain residential areas in the Borough are subjected
to commuter vehicle parking, therefore, depriving the residents of
those areas of spaces in which to park their own vehicles;
(2)
Those residential streets are also subjected to a
high degree of commuter traffic which substantially reduces the quality
of the ambient air level; and
(3)
The establishment of a parking permit program for
certain affected areas should facilitate efficient movement of traffic
by providing for parking preference during certain hours of the day
and days of the week. Therefore, the Borough considers it to be in
the interest of the people of the Borough to provide for the establishment
of a residential permit parking program to insure primary access to
available parking spaces by neighborhood residents and also to provide
a cleaner ambient air level.
B.
COMMUTER VEHICLE
PROPRIETOR
RESIDENT
RESIDENTIAL AREA
Definitions. For the purpose of this section, words
and terms listed in this subsection, as follows, shall have the following
meanings:
A motor vehicle parked in a residential area by a person
not a resident of that residential area.
A person who owns or leases real estate within a residential
area of which he is not a resident, but who owns or manages a business
enterprise or professional office maintained at that address; for
the purpose of this section, a proprietor shall be entitled to one
parking permit for that business or professional office address.
A person who owns or leases real property within a residential
area and who maintains either a voting residence, or bona fide occupancy,
or both, at that address.
A contiguous area containing public highways or parts of
public highways primarily abutted by residential property or residential
and nonbusiness property (such as schools, parks, places of worship,
hospitals and nursing homes).
C.
Criteria. The residential areas designated in Subsection D of this section are those deemed impacted and hence eligible for residential parking on the basis of the following criteria:
(1)
During any period between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and
6:30 p.m., Monday through Saturday, except legal holidays, the number
of vehicles parked (or standing), legally or illegally, on the streets
in the area is equal to 70% or more of the legal, on-street parking
capacity of the area. For the purpose of this criterion, a legal parking
space shall be 20 linear feet.
(2)
During the same period as specified in Subsection C(1), directly above, 10% or more of the vehicles parked (or standing) on the streets in the area are not registered in the name of a person residing in the area. For the purpose of this criterion, the latest available information from the Bureau of Motor Vehicles and Licensing of the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation regarding registration of motor vehicles shall be used.
(3)
Provided: in determining that a specific area identified
as impacted and eligible for residential permit parking is designated
as a residential permit parking area, the following factors are taken
into consideration:
(a)
The local and metropolitan needs with respect
to clean air and environment;
(b)
The possibility of a reduction in total vehicle
miles driven in the Borough of Coopersburg;
(c)
The likelihood of alleviating traffic congestion,
illegal parking and related health and safety hazards;
(d)
The proximity of public transportation to the
residential area;
(e)
The desire and need of the residents for residential
permit parking and their willingness to bear the administrative costs
in connection with it; and
(f)
The need for parking in excess of the residential
permit parking program in proximity to establishments located in the
residential permit parking area and used by the general public for
religious, health or educational purposes.
D.
Designation of residential permit parking areas.
E.
Application for permit. Application for a residential
parking permit shall be made to the Chief of Police by the person
desiring the permit, who shall be only the owner or the driver of
a motor vehicle who resides on or is a proprietor of property immediately
adjacent to a street or other location within a residential parking
permit area. A separate application shall be required for each motor
vehicle, and each application shall be accompanied by a permit fee,
set pursuant to a resolution of the Borough Council, which shall be
for the use of the Borough, to be applied to the cost of administering
the residential permit parking program. Each application shall contain
the following information: the name of the owner or the driver, as
the case may be, of the motor vehicle; the address of the resident
or the proprietor, as the case may be; the make, model and registration
number of the motor vehicle; and the driver number as taken from the
applicant's current driver's license. At the discretion of the Chief
of Police, the applicant shall be required, at the time of making
application, to present his driver's license and the vehicle registration
card.
F.
Issuance of permit. Upon receipt of the application
and the permit fee, and determination by him that the information
upon the application shows that the applicant is entitled to a residential
parking permit, the Chief of Police shall issue to the applicant a
residential parking permit, which shall be valid for the remainder
of the calendar year. The permit shall display the serial and registration
numbers of the motor vehicles, the residential parking area number,
and the expiration date. The permit shall be renewable annually before
the expiration date, upon making application for renewal and payment
of the permit fee. It shall be unlawful and a violation of this section
for any person to display other than the current and valid permit
while standing or parking in a residential permit parking area at
any time when those permits are to be displayed.
G.
Temporary and exemption parking permits. Temporary
parking permits may be issued by the Chief of Police, upon payment
of a fee established pursuant to a resolution, to bona fide visitors
of residents of a designated residential permit parking area, and
exemption parking permits may be issued, without payment of a fee,
to handicapped persons.
H.
Responsibility of permit holder.
(1)
Notwithstanding any provision of this section to the
contrary, the holder of a residential parking permit shall be permitted
to stand or park a motor vehicle operated by him in any designated
residential parking area during those times when parking of motor
vehicles is permitted in that area. While a vehicle for which a residential
parking permit has been issued is so parked, that permit shall be
displayed so as to be clearly visible through the windshield of the
vehicle. A residential parking permit shall not guarantee or reserve
to the holder a parking space within a designated residential permit
parking area.
(2)
A residential parking permit shall not authorize its
holder to stand or park a motor vehicle in any place where or at any
time when stopping, standing or parking of motor vehicles is prohibited
or set aside for other specified types of vehicles, nor shall the
permit exempt its holder from the observance of any traffic or parking
regulation other than residential permit parking regulation or restriction.
(3)
No person other than the permit holder whose name
appears on the permit shall use a residential parking permit or display
it on a vehicle operated; any such use or display by a person other
than the permit holder shall constitute a violation of this section
by the permit holder and by the person who so used or displayed the
parking permit.
(4)
It shall constitute a violation of this section for
any person falsely to represent himself as eligible for a residential
parking permit or to furnish false information in an application to
the Chief of Police in order to obtain a residential parking permit.
(5)
Revocation of permits. The Chief of Police shall have
authority to revoke the residential parking permit of any permit holder
found to be in violation of any provision of this section. Upon written
notification to him of the revocation, the permit holder shall surrender
the permit to the Chief of Police. Failure to do so, when so requested,
shall constitute a violation of this section. Provided, any person
receiving such a notice may, within 10 days after the date of the
notice, appeal to Borough Council for a hearing on the revocation,
and the decision of Borough Council shall be final.
[Amended 2-26-2002 by Ord. No. 552; 9-15-2015 by Ord. No. 651]

road, highway or public thoroughfare within the Borough of Coopersburg
a trailer without having attached thereto a means of mechanical traction
and motor power so constructed or designed for the purpose of pulling
or drawing such trailer, except when temporary parking is required
for the loading and unloading for delivery of goods, merchandise,
or materials.
F.
Permission required prior to placement of dumpsters on any street
or public thoroughfare. Dumpsters shall be placed on private property
whenever possible and no person shall place or caused to be placed
a dumpster in any street, alley, road, highway, public thoroughfare
or sidewalk unless it is not possible to locate the dumpster on private
property. If it is not possible to place the dumpster on private property,
a person shall obtain permission from the Borough Office before placing
or causing to place any dumpster on any street, alley, road, highway,
public thoroughfare or sidewalk. Permission requests must include
date of removal and purpose of work being completed. No dumpster will
be allowed for a period longer than 60 days. All dumpsters need to
