A.
Resident parking permit restrictions shall be established on streets where there has been demonstrated an ongoing, excessive and daily problem which creates a hardship and public safety issues for residents of a municipal street. The purpose of the residential permit parking program is to establish a residential parking program in those areas of the Borough in order to facilitate and make more convenient parking within the Borough for persons who reside in those residential areas; to protect residential areas from excessive traffic and parking demand caused by the entry of vehicles from outside that residential neighborhood; to protect residents from unreasonable burdens in gaining access to their residences; and to identify the areas of the Borough where residential parking is preserved so as to not interfere with the provision of parking for the general public. The streets and portions of streets identified in § 201-33 are hereby designated as "residential permit parking only" parking zones.

the permit parking restrictions are imposed in the Borough of Sea
Bright, and a copy of a valid New Jersey motor vehicle registration
for which the permit is sought, showing an address on a street upon
which the permit parking restrictions are imposed. In the case of
a vehicle claimed to be leased and used by a Sea Bright resident,
a copy of the automobile lease shall be presented to the Borough in
lieu of the New Jersey motor vehicle registration. Completed applications
