(Ordinance 2098 adopted 2/1/22)
(a) As a condition of issuance of a building permit for a construction
site, the General Contractor must submit a Parking Management Plan
to the Building Official for review and approval. The plan must detail
the planned location for contractor and vendor parking at and around
the construction site. The plan must comply with the Town’s
Construction Management Policy and be designed to minimize the use
of public streets for contractor and vendor parking. The plan must
be designed to minimize the impact on the surrounding neighborhood.
To the extent reasonably possible construction site parking should
utilize the construction site rather than public streets. In the alternative
off-site parking arrangements are encouraged.
(b) Upon approval of the Parking Management Plan for a construction site,
compliance with the plan shall become a condition of the building
permit for said construction site. In the event an application is
made to extend the building permit completion date, the Town may unilaterally
amend the Parking Management Plan.

standing, or parking of the vehicle at the time and place the offense
occurred.
