1.
Purpose and Findings. The primary purpose of residential parking
permits is to make every reasonable effort to accommodate residents
living in areas of the Township that have a mix of business, office
and residential uses which would ordinarily result in parking restrictions
that would not occur in a predominately residential area. These restrictions
include time limits and other regulations during the hours when businesses
are normally open in the areas of the Township where many businesses
and other nonresidential uses are located. The Township further finds
that:
A.
Certain residential areas in the Township are subject to commuter
vehicle parking, therefore depriving the residents of those areas
of spaces in which to park their own vehicles.
B.
The establishment of a parking permit program for certain affected
areas should facilitate efficient movement of traffic by providing
for parking preferences during certain hours of the day and days of
the week. Therefore, the Township considers it to be in the best interest
of the people of the Township to provide for the establishment of
a residential permit parking program to ensure primary access to available
parking spaces by neighborhood residents.

Application for Permit.
A.
Application for a residential parking permit shall be made by the
person desiring the permit to the Chief of Police or the Chief's designee.
Applications shall only be considered from an owner or driver of a
motor vehicle who is defined as a proprietor or a resident and is
able to demonstrate no use or availability of any off-street parking
space(s) for the motor vehicle sought to be permitted. A separate
application shall be required for each motor vehicle. Each application
shall contain the following information:
(1)
The name of the owner or the driver, as applicable, of the motor
vehicle;
(2)
The name of the business office or nonprofit, as applicable;
(3)
The address of the resident or the proprietor, as applicable;
(4)
The make, model, color and registration number of the motor
vehicle; and
(5)
The driver number as taken from the applicant's current driver's
license.
B.
At the discretion of the Chief of Police or the Chief's designee,
the applicant shall be required, at the time of making application,
to present his or her driver's license and vehicle registration card.
The West Norriton Police Department, in conjunction with the Township
Manager, or their authorized agent or expressly authorized designee,
are hereby empowered to establish further rules and regulations to
effectuate the administration of this residential permit parking program
established under this section.
6.
Issuance of Permit. Upon receipt of a completed application and payment
of the established parking permit fee, with such fee established or
amended pursuant to a resolution of the Board, and upon determination
by the West Norriton Police Department that the information upon the
application shows that the applicant is entitled to a residential
parking permit, the Township shall issue to the applicant the applicable
residential parking permit, which shall be valid for the appropriate
applicable time period. The permit shall display the permit number,
the license number(s) of the permitted vehicle(s), and the expiration
date and the renewal date of the permit. The permittee shall have
the right to park the permitted vehicle on any public street, in any
legal parking space, within the appropriate designated parking category
and parking zone where the residential parking restriction exists.
7.
Temporary and Exempt Parking Permits. Temporary parking permits may
be issued by the Township for up to seven days (168 hours in duration),
upon payment of a fee established pursuant to a resolution of the
Board, 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. Contractors who are doing
work within the designated parking areas may display a valid construction
permit in lieu of a parking permit.
8.
Responsibility of Permit Holder.
A.
Notwithstanding any provisions of this section to the contrary, a
residential parking permit holder shall be authorized to stand or
park the permit holder's motor vehicle in the designated residential
permit parking area during those times when parking of a motor vehicle
is permitted in that area. At such time, the parking permit shall
be displayed by hanging such permit from the front inside rear-view
mirror, with the vehicle license numbers facing outward. Any vehicle
having a mirror which cannot hold a permit must attach or affix the
permit to the back of the mirror by other means so that the permit
information is visible from outside of the vehicle. If the vehicle
has no inside rear-view mirror, the vehicle owner is responsible to
improvise such that the permit hangs near the center of the windshield
so that the permit is visible. A residential parking permit shall
not guarantee or reserve a parking space within a designated residential
permit parking area.
B.
A residential parking permit shall not authorize the permit holder
to stand or park the permitted motor vehicle in any place where, or
at any time when, stopping, standing or parking the permitted motor
vehicle is prohibited or if such location/time is set aside for other
specified types of vehicles. Further, a residential parking permit
shall not exempt the permit holder from the observance of any traffic
or parking regulations other than the residential permit parking regulations
or restrictions in the designated residential permit parking area.
C.
No person other than the permit holder whose vehicle plate number(s)
appears on the permit shall use the associated residential parking
permit or display such permit on any other vehicle. Any such use or
display by a person other than the permit holder for the permitted
vehicle shall constitute a violation of this section by the permit
holder and by the person who so used or displayed the parking permit.
D.
As a condition of the permit, the permit holder understands that
any permitted vehicle parked for more than three hours without displaying
the proper permit is in violation. Any permitted vehicle will be in
violation if the permit is not displaying by hanging the permit from
the rear-view mirror, or otherwise affixed to the center of the windshield,
so that the information on the permit can be visible from outside
of the vehicle.
E.
It shall constitute a violation of this section for any person to
falsely represent himself or herself 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.
9.
Revocation of Permits. The Chief of Police or the Chief's designee
shall have the 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 the permit holder of such
revocation, the permit holder shall surrender the permit to the Chief
of Police or the Chief's designee. Failure to do so shall constitute
a violation of this section, provided that any person receiving such
notice may, within 10 days after the date set forth on the notice,
appeal to the Board of Commissioners for a hearing on the revocation,
and the decision of the Board of Commissioners shall be final.
