Valet parking shall be conditionally permitted, when authorized
by the Board of Trustees, as an accessory use to any use permitted
or conditionally permitted in the Village on the following conditions:
A. In addition to such other signs as may be permitted by the Village,
additional temporary/portable signs stating "Valet Parking" and the
name of the business may be erected at a location approved by the
Board of Trustees of sufficient size to be visible from the street
to the extent deemed by the Board of Trustees to be necessary to inform
the public of the valet parking operation. Such temporary/portable
signs shall be displayed and maintained on private property and shall
not be placed in the public right-of-way. Such signs shall only be
displayed during valet operation hours and shall be removed at the
end of each day.
B. The stopping or standing of vehicles for pickup and for delivery,
and the parking thereof, by the valet parkers shall be solely at locations
which do not prohibit the stopping or standing of vehicles; do not
unreasonably interfere with traffic; do not interfere with public
parking areas; may not reserve public parking areas for valet parking;
and do not unreasonably interfere with the peace and quiet of nearby
property owners. The applicant shall submit a valet parking plan sufficiently
describing the proposed valet operation.
C. Except to avoid an imminent accident or when directed by a police
officer, under no circumstances shall a vehicle which is stopped,
is standing or is otherwise being operated on the public streets of
the Village for valet parking purposes which is being operated by
or directed by the valet parkers or someone on behalf of the valet
parkers or on behalf of the owner, operator, manager, or any other
agent or employee of the principal use for which the valet parking
is being provided, violate any of the provisions of the New York State
Vehicle and Traffic Law or the ordinances or local laws of the Village
of Roslyn.
D. The valet parkers shall at all times operate the vehicles which they
are parking in a manner so as not to adversely affect nearby property
owners. Valet parkers shall only operate valet vehicles to and from
permitted valet parking locations. Accordingly, the valet parkers
shall not permit the radios in the vehicles they are operating to
be heard outside the vehicles; shall not operate the vehicles they
are parking in such a manner as to cause their tires to "squeal" or
make other noises by rapidly accelerating or decelerating, except
to avoid an accident; and shall not sound their horn except to avoid
an accident, and then only to the minimum extent necessary.
E. A conditional use permit for valet parking at a specific location
may be issued for a period of one year and shall automatically expire
at the end of said year unless renewed by the permittee, with the
approval of the Board of Trustees, for another year.
F. Upon initial application for a valet parking permit pursuant to this
chapter, and upon subsequent renewals of such permit, the applicant
shall pay a fee to the Village as shall be set from time to time by
resolution of the Board of Trustees.
G. Notwithstanding that an applicant has not received any summonses
or been found guilty of any violations of the New York State Vehicle
and Traffic Law or the Village's ordinances and local laws, the
Board of Trustees shall not be precluded from denying a permit or
a renewal of a permit if there is sufficient evidence for the Board
of Trustees to believe that the applicant or the individuals who will
be responsible for the business or the valet parking operations have
not or will not comply with the conditions set forth in this section
or with the laws, ordinances and regulations of the Village of Roslyn
and/or the State of New York.
The violation of any provisions of this chapter shall be punishable as set forth in §
1-8 of this Code.
