[Amended 12-4-2023 by Ord. No. 217-2023]
A. Findings and purpose. The Township of Cecil finds that:
(1) Certain residential areas in the Township of Cecil are subjected
to commuter vehicle parking or otherwise suffer from limited availability
of residential parking, thereby depriving the residents of those areas
of residential parking spaces in which to park their own vehicles;
and
(2) The establishment of a parking permit program for those residential
areas should provide the affected residents with residential parking
spaces in which to park their own vehicles, and should further facilitate
pedestrian and vehicular safety in residential areas by limiting the
number of vehicles parked in those areas. Therefore, the Township
of Cecil considers it to be in the interest of the people of the Township
of Cecil to provide for the establishment of a residential permit
parking program to ensure primary access to available parking spaces
by neighborhood residents and also to alleviate traffic congestion
and related health and safety hazards in residential areas.
B. Definitions. For the purpose of this section, words and terms listed
in this subsection, as follows, shall have the following meanings:
COMMUTER VEHICLE
A motor vehicle parking in a residential area by a person
not a resident of that residential area.
PROPRIETOR
A person who owns or leases real estate within a residential
area of which he is not a resident, but who owns or manages a business
enterprise or professional office maintained at that address.
RESIDENT
A person who owns or leases real property within a residential
area and who maintains either a voting residence or a bona fide occupancy,
or both, at that address.
RESIDENTIAL AREA
A contiguous area containing public highways or parts of
public highways primarily abutted by residential property or residential
and nonbusiness property (such as schools, parks, places of worship,
hospitals and nursing homes).
C. Criteria. The residential areas designated in Subsection
D of this section are those deemed impacted and hence eligible for residential parking on the basis of any of the following criteria:
(1) During any period between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 6:30 p.m., Monday
through Saturday, except legal holidays, the number of vehicles parked
(or standing), legally or illegally, on the streets in the area is
equal to 70% or more of the legal on-street parking capacity of the
area. For the purpose of this criterion, a legal parking space shall
be 20 linear feet.
(2) During the same period as specified in Subsection
C(1) directly above, 10% or more of the vehicles parked (or standing) on the streets in the area are not registered in the name of a person residing in the area. For the purpose of this criterion, the latest available information from the Bureau of Motor Vehicles and Licensing of the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation regarding registration of motor vehicles shall be used.
(3) Where the Board of Supervisors otherwise determines, in its discretion and based upon the factors set forth in Subsection
C(4) or upon such other factors that the Board of Supervisors deems relevant, that establishment of a residential permit parking area is warranted and in the interest of the people of the Township of Cecil.
(4) Provided that, in determining that a specific area identified as
impacted and eligible for residential permit parking is designated
as a residential permit parking area, the following factors may be
taken into consideration:
(a)
The local and metropolitan needs with respect to clean air and
environment;
(b)
The possibility of a reduction in total vehicle miles driven
in the Township of Cecil;
(c)
The likelihood of alleviating traffic congestion, illegal parking
and related health and safety hazards;
(d)
The proximity of public transportation to the residential area;
(e)
Difficulties in access to residential parking near residences;
(f)
The desire and need of the residents for residential permit
parking and their willingness to bear the administrative costs in
connection with it; and
(g)
The need for parking in excess of the residential permit parking
program in proximity to establishments located in the residential
permit parking area and used by the general public for religious,
health or educational purposes.
D. Designation of residential permit parking areas.
(1) From time to time, the Board of Supervisors shall designate or terminate
by resolution residential permit parking areas. The following are
designated as residential permit parking areas:
Area
|
Bounded By and Including
|
No. of permits per address
|
Effective Hours
|
Permit Fee
|
Notes
|
---|
(Reserved)
|
(2) Signs shall be erected along the streets in each residential permit
parking area, indicating the days, hours, locations and conditions
under which parking shall be by permit only.
E. Application for permit. Application for a residential parking permit
shall be made to the Chief of Police by the person desiring the permit,
who shall be only the owner or the driver of a motor vehicle who resides
on or is a proprietor of property immediately adjacent to a street
or other location within a residential parking permit area. A separate
application shall be required for each motor vehicle, and each application
shall be accompanied by a permit fee set pursuant to a resolution
of the Board of Supervisors, which shall be for the use of the Township
of Cecil to be applied to the cost of administering the residential
permit parking program. Each application shall contain the following
information: the name of the owner or the driver, as the case may
be, of the motor vehicle; the address of the resident or the proprietor,
as the case may be; the make, model and registration number of the
motor vehicle; and the driver number as taken from the applicant's
current driver's license. At the discretion of the Chief of Police,
the applicant shall be required, at the time of making application,
to present his driver's license and the vehicle registration
card.
F. Issuance of permit. Upon receipt of the application and the applicable
permit fee, and determination by him that the information upon the
application shows that the applicant is entitled to a residential
parking permit, the Chief of Police shall issue to the applicant a
residential parking permit which shall be valid for the remainder
of the calendar year. The permit shall display the residential parking
area, permit number, and Township seal. The permit shall be renewable
annually before the expiration date, upon making application for renewal.
It shall be unlawful and a violation of this section for any person
to display other than the current and valid permit while standing
or parking in a residential permit parking area at any time when those
permits are to be displayed.
G. Temporary and exemption parking permits. Temporary parking permits
may be issued by the Chief of Police, upon payment of a fee established
pursuant to a resolution, to bona fide visitors of residents of a
designated residential permit parking area, and exemption parking
permits may be issued, without payment of a fee, to handicapped persons.
H. Responsibility of permit holder.
(1) Notwithstanding any provision of this section to the contrary, the
holder of a residential parking permit shall be permitted to stand
or park a motor vehicle operated by him in any designated residential
parking area during those times when parking of motor vehicles is
permitted in that area. While a vehicle for which a residential parking
permit has been issued is so parked, that permit shall be displayed
so as to be clearly visible through the windshield of the vehicle.
A residential parking permit shall not guarantee or reserve to the
holder a parking space within a designated residential permit parking
area.
(2) A residential parking permit shall not authorize its holder to stand
or park a motor vehicle in any place where or at any time when stopping,
standing or parking of motor vehicles is prohibited or set aside for
other specified types of vehicles, nor shall the permit exempt its
holder from the observance of any traffic or parking regulation other
than residential permit parking regulation or restriction.
(3) No person other than the permit holder whose name appears on the
permit shall use a residential parking permit or display it on a vehicle
operated; any such use or display by a person other than the permit
holder shall constitute a violation of this section by the permit
holder and by the person who so used or displayed the parking permit.
(4) It shall constitute a violation of this section for any person falsely
to represent himself as eligible for a residential parking permit
or to furnish false information in an application to the Chief of
Police in order to obtain a residential parking permit.
(a)
Revocation of permits. The Chief of Police shall have an authority
to revoke the residential parking permit of any permit holder found
to be in violation of any provision of this section. Upon written
notification to him of the revocation, the permit holder shall surrender
the permit to the Chief of Police. Failure to do so, when so requested,
shall constitute a violation of this section, provided that any person
receiving such a notice may, within 10 days after the date of the
notice, appeal to the Board of Supervisors for a hearing on the revocation,
and the decision of the Board of Supervisors shall be final.
Any person who violates any provision of this article shall,
upon conviction, be sentenced to pay a fine of not more than $25 and
costs, provided that it shall be the duty of the police officers and
of parking enforcement personnel of the Township of Cecil to report
to the appropriate official all violations of any provision of this
article, indicating in each case the section violated; the license
number of the vehicle involved in the violation; the location where
the violation took place; and any other facts that might be necessary
in order to secure a clear understanding of the circumstances attending
the violation. The police officer or other person making the report
shall also attach to or place upon every such vehicle a notice stating
that the vehicle was parked in violation of this article. The notice
shall contain instructions to the owner or driver of the vehicle that
if he will report to the office of the Chief of Police, or otherwise
as stated in the notice, and pay the sum stated within the number
of hours specified after the time of the notice, that act will save
the violator from prosecution and from payment of the fine and costs
prescribed in the first sentence of this section.
