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 hereby establishes a residential parking
permit system in the Tibbetts Brook Park area 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 the vicinity of Tibbetts Brook Park in the City
of Yonkers, which is a county-owned and operated park, are suffering
interference with the tranquility and quiet enjoyment of their neighborhood
by reason of visitors and users to the county-owned park who either
cannot find or do not qualify for a parking space within the county
park facility and use the abutting residential streets for uses not
intended, including parking of vehicles during usage of the county
park and using the residential streets for changing of clothes, eating
and drinking and personal sanitation reasons. 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.
C. Exemption. This section shall not apply to motor vehicles registered
pursuant to § 400-a of the Vehicle and Traffic Law.
D. Restriction. No vehicle shall be parked in the area generally bounded
by Harrison Avenue, proceeding south from Tibbetts Brook Park to Alan
B. Shepard Place; Tibbetts Road, proceeding southerly from Tibbets
Brook Park to Alan B. Shepard Place; Sedgewick Avenue, proceeding
southerly from Tibbetts Brook Park to Alan B. Shepard Place; Jervis
Road, between Harrison Avenue and Sedgewick Avenue, and from the northern
intersection of Sedgewick Avenue, proceeding southerly along Jervis
Road to the Alan B. Shepard Place line; provided that said streets
do not abut properties which are zoned for commercial/retail; use
for a period of time in excess of 90 minutes, unless said vehicle
has prominently displayed a permit obtained from the Parking Violations
Bureau of Yonkers properly affixed to the automobile vehicle during
the hours from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., seven days per week, from April
1 to and including October 31 of each and every year.
E. Permits; fees. The Parking Violations Bureau of the City of Yonkers
shall have available for issuance blank permits to be used in this
area, at least 20% of which shall be available to be purchased by
nonresidents of the Tibbetts Brook parking area. The permit fees shall
be paid for any calendar year or part thereof and be set as $5 for
City residents and $10 for nonresidents of the City. The moneys received
from said fees shall be credited to the general fund of the City of
Yonkers.
F. The City of Yonkers shall post appropriate signs to be conspicuously
posted in this area advising the public of the restricted permit parking.
G. Penalties. A violation of this provision shall subject the violator
to pay a fine as set by the Parking Violations Bureau, or the City
Council, from time to time, not to exceed $65.
[Added 10-27-2009 by L.L. No. 9-2009]
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.
These factors necessitate the enactment of a residential parking system
for the residents of this neighborhood.
C. Exemption. This section shall not apply to motor vehicles registered
pursuant to § 400-a of the Vehicle and Traffic Law.
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:
(1)
Belmont Avenue from Orient Street to Yonkers Avenue;
(2)
Boone Street from Central Park Avenue to dead end;
(3)
Clark Street from Central Park Avenue to Orient Street;
(4)
Loring Avenue from Central Park Avenue to Orient Street; and
(5)
Chamberlain Avenue from Belmont Avenue to Central Park Avenue.
E. Permit fees. The Parking Violations Bureau of the City of Yonkers
shall have available for issuance blank permits to be used in this
area, at least 20% of which shall be available to be purchased by
nonresidents of the Raceway/Empire City parking area. The permit fees
shall be paid for any calendar year or part thereof and be set as
$25 for residents and $50 for nonresidents of the City. The moneys
received from said fees shall be credited to the general fund of the
City of Yonkers.
F. The City of Yonkers shall post appropriate signs to be conspicuously
posted in the area advising the public of the restricted permit parking.
G. Penalties. A violation of this provision shall subject the violator
to pay a fine not to exceed $70.
