2. Purpose. The purpose of the resident parking program is to promote
the safety and welfare of the residents of the Borough, reduce hazardous
traffic conditions, and the overburdening of existing streets and
roads.
3. Residential Permit Parking Program. The Emmaus Police Department
is hereby authorized to designate, subject to the approval of Borough
Council as hereby provided, certain streets and other public areas
within the Borough of Emmaus as permit parking areas in which resident
vehicles displaying valid parking permits may stand or be parked without
limitation by parking time restrictions established by this section.
Vehicles not displaying valid parking permits may stand or be parked
for a limited time not to exceed the time specified upon adequately
posted signs.
4. Designation of Residential Parking Areas. A residential area or street
shall be considered for designation as residential permit parking
area provided that designation criteria establishment by this section
be satisfied and that Borough Council, through enactment of an ordinance,
authorize the posting of appropriate signs specifying time limits
and period of the day for its application.
5. Designation Criteria. A residential area shall be deemed impacted
and thereby eligible for residential permit parking providing that
the following criteria are satisfied:
A. At least 50% of the street level, from footage use, is residential
or nonbusiness related.
B. During any period between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., on
Wednesdays, except holidays, the number of vehicles parked and/or
standing, legally or illegally, at on-street parking spaces, is equal
to 70% of the legal on-street parking capacity of the area.
C. If the above criteria are not met at any time, the Emmaus Police
Department shall notify the Borough Council. The Borough Council may
consider revoking the residential parking permit status for that street.
[Amended by Ord. No. 1241, 5/1/2023]
D. A street may be considered as a potential residential parking area
upon the receipt by Borough Council of a verified petition signed
by at least 2/3 of the residents on that street.
[Amended by Ord. No. 1241, 5/1/2023]
E. The signature of a resident on the petition demonstrates a willingness
to purchase a permit for this program.
F. Surveys shall be conducted of potential residential parking areas
to establish whether the criteria for establishing resident parking
have been satisfied.
[Amended by Ord. No. 1241, 5/1/2023]
G. Once established, a residential permit parking area may be abandoned
upon receipt by Borough Council of a verified petition signed by at
least 90% of the residents of that street.
[Amended by Ord. No. 1241, 5/1/2023]
H. Borough
Council reserves the right to unilaterally establish or eliminate
residential permit parking areas in such cases that a study and proper
recommendation is submitted by the Emmaus Police Department without
any of the other provisions of this subsection.
[Added by Ord. No. 1241, 5/1/2023]
6. Issuance of Permit Parking. Following Borough Council's approval
of the designation of residential permit parking area, the Police
Department may issue appropriate permits and shall cause parking signs
to be erected in the area indicating the times and conditions under
which parking shall be allowed. A permit shall be issued upon application
and payment of the applicable fee only to the owner and operator of
a motor vehicle who resides on the appropriate street. A separate
permit shall be required for each motor vehicle. Eligibility for a
permit shall be as follows:
A. Residents. The resident must prove residency and vehicle ownership
or evidence of having a leased or company owned vehicle. Criteria
shall be established for proof of residence. A separate application
shall be required for each vehicle and each application shall be accompanied
by a permit fee.
B. Visitors. Special permits may be issued to visitors for a period
of time not to exceed 14 days. No resident of a residential permit
parking area shall be issued more than two visitor permits at any
time.
7. Designation Process. If the area in question is not an approved residential
permit parking area and a petition signed by the required number of
residents is filed at which point a Committee of Council will schedule
and administer a hearing and then make a recommendation to Council.
Every resident of the proposed area will be notified of the hearing
by mail. Borough Council will make the final decision whether to designate
an area as an official residential permit parking area.
8. Display of Permit. A permit shall be displayed on the left side of
the rear bumper.
9. Permit Parking Exemption.
A. A resident vehicle on which is displayed a valid parking permit as
provided for herein shall be permitted to stand or be parked in the
residential permit parking area for which the permit has been issued
without being limited by time restrictions established pursuant to
this section. However, said resident's vehicle shall not be exempt
from parking restrictions or prohibitions established pursuant to
authority other than this section including, but not limited to, "stopping
and parking," "street sweeping," "loading zones," "five minute parking
zones," "handicapped zones" and any other special parking restrictions.
B. A residential parking permit shall not guarantee the holder thereof
an on-street parking space within the designated residential permit
parking area.
10. Application for and Duration of Permit. Upon application and receipt
of requisite fee, a parking permit will be issued for each vehicle
owned by a resident on a street designated for resident permit parking.
Permits shall be valid for so long as the original applicant resides
on said street and owns said vehicle. Each application for a parking
permit shall contain information sufficient to identify the applicant,
his resident address or address of real property owned or leased within
the residential permit parking area, and the license number of the
motor vehicle for which application is made and all other information
as may be deemed relevant by the Emmaus Police Department. If a resident
sells or otherwise transfers a vehicle bearing a permit parking sticker,
he shall remove the sticker before the transfer. If another vehicle
is purchased, a new application with the requisite fee must be made.
A replacement sticker for the same vehicle can be acquired at no charge
to the resident.
11. Permit Fees. There shall be no charge for each residential parking
permit.
12. Revocation of Permit. The Borough is authorized to revoke the residential
parking permit of any person found to be in violation of this section
and, upon written notification thereof, the person shall surrender
such permit to the Borough.
