This use has resulted in significant health and safety problems for the area residents, as well as for the emergency vehicles requiring access to the residential area. These factors necessitate the enactment of a residential parking system for this area.

A. 
Authority. In accordance with § 1640-e of the Vehicle and Traffic Law of the State of New York and this Code of the City of Yonkers, the City Council of the City of Yonkers hereby establishes a residential parking permit system in the Yonkers Raceway/Empire City neighborhood of the City of Yonkers, notwithstanding the provisions of any law to the contrary.
B. 
Findings and purpose. The City Council has found and determined that residents living in Yonkers Raceway/Empire City neighborhood are suffering interference with the tranquility and quiet enjoyment of their neighborhood by reason of patrons, employees and users of the nearby Yonkers Raceway/Racino who do not use the complimentary parking spaces and shuttle services available at the Raceway/Racino and who use the abutting Yonkers residential streets as a free and convenient alternative, despite the availability of free self-parking, valet parking and continuous shuttle service to the parking spaces. These users park on the nearby streets for the perceived convenience and accessibility to the Raceway/Racino. The resulting lack of parking for 260 residents on the streets near their homes in this area has led to traffic hazards, congestion, noise pollution and litter and debris on the streets, sidewalks and lawns.

D. 
Restriction. Unless said vehicle has prominently displayed a permit, obtained from the Parking Violations Bureau of the City of Yonkers, properly affixed to the automobile, allowing parking in said area, for the period of seven days per week, 24 hours each day, for each and every day of the year, no vehicles shall be parked in the area generally bounded within the Yonkers Raceway/ Empire City area of the City of Yonkers consisting of the following roadways:
