municipality.
B.
To address a critical parking shortage in those specific areas and/or
districts designated by the Borough of Wood-Ridge as being in need
of a residential parking program.
C.
To control and/or monitor on-street parking in the Borough of Wood-Ridge

The following rules and regulations shall apply to the Borough
of Wood-Ridge resident parking permit program:

B.
Proof of residency of the owner of a vehicle must be presented when

a copy of a valid New Jersey driver's license reflecting an address
in the Borough of Wood-Ridge and a copy of a valid New Jersey motor
vehicle registration for which the permit is sought showing an address

[Amended 6-17-2020 by Ord. No. 2020-7]
A.
Business establishments located in the Borough of Wood-Ridge may
obtain business parking permits for any nonresident employee or business
owner of such business establishment who commutes to work. Wood-Ridge
business establishments shall be deemed to include the Borough of
Wood-Ridge and the Board of Education of the Borough of Wood-Ridge.
The permit shall be reasonably limited by the Police Department of
the Borough of Wood-Ridge to the hours during which the nonresident
employee or owner is present at the premises. In order to obtain such
permits, the business establishment must present a letter to the Police
Department of the Borough of Wood-Ridge, verifying that there is no
adequate off-street parking available to the employee. The letter
shall list the name of the employee, the vehicle identification number
and license plate of the vehicle, the driver's license number, the
employee and such other information as may be required by the Police
Department of the Borough of Wood-Ridge.
B.
All written requests for business parking permits shall be executed
by the owner or responsible officer of the employer (or a director
in the case of the Borough of Wood-Ridge or the business manager or
secretary in the case of the Wood-Ridge Board of Education). The Police
Department of the Borough of Wood-Ridge shall be entitled to obtain
periodic verification of all relevant information and shall have the
power to invalidate or not renew any business parking permit issued
pursuant to this section if the information indicates nonentitlement
to the business parking permit.
C.
A fee for each business parking permit, upon first issuance and annual
renewal, may be established and determined by resolution of the Mayor
and Council.
A business permit shall require the name of the employee and/or
the vehicle identification number and license plate of the vehicle,
the driver's license number and such other information as may be required
by the Police Department of the Borough of Wood-Ridge.
Any abuse in the use of a business or resident permit will result
in its revocation in the following circumstances:
Resident permits and business permits will expire annually as reasonably determined by the Police Department of the Borough of Wood-Ridge. Any vehicle bearing an expired resident permit or business permit and parked on a street posted "Permit Parking Only" shall be subject to the same penalty as a vehicle parking on the street without a resident permit or business permit, as set forth in § 513-79 hereinbelow.
A.
Any vehicle parked on a street posted "Permit Parking Only" without
a valid resident or business permit shall be subject to a parking
fine in the amount of $20.
The Police Department of the Borough of Wood-Ridge shall have
the authority to formulate and promulgate rules and regulations pertaining
to this article, subject to veto of the Borough Council, and the Police
Department of the Borough of Wood-Ridge shall be entitled, in its
discretion, to verify any information appropriate to the enforcement
of this article. The Police Department of the Borough of Wood-Ridge
shall have the power to issue summonses for violations of this article;
provided, however, that in the case of a summons issued for misuse
of a resident permit, visitor permit, temporary visitor permit or
business permit, such summons shall be issued by the Municipal Court
of the Borough of Wood-Ridge.
Enforcement of this article and further rules and regulations
as may be promulgated from time to time shall be under the jurisdiction
of either the Police Department of the Borough of Wood-Ridge and/or
the Chief of Police of the Borough of Wood-Ridge, as determined by
the Borough Administrator of the Borough of Wood-Ridge.
