A.
Ocean Avenue resident parking permit restrictions shall be established for certain residences where there has been demonstrated an ongoing, excessive and daily problem which creates a hardship and public safety issues for residents of particular locations. The purpose of the Ocean Avenue resident permit parking program is to establish a residential parking program in those certain locations within the Borough in order to facilitate and make more convenient parking within the Borough for persons who reside in those certain residential areas and to protect residents from unreasonable burdens in gaining access to their residences. The residential addresses identified in § 201-40 are hereby designated as eligible for Ocean Avenue resident parking permits.
B.
A Ocean Avenue resident parking permit of a design specified by the
Sea Bright Police Department will be issued to residents of Sea Bright
who own or lease a motor vehicle.
C.
Application for Ocean Avenue resident parking permits shall be made on a form issued by the Sea Bright Police Department. Proof of residency of the owner or lessee of a vehicle must be presented when applying for a permit. The following is proof of residency: a copy of a valid New Jersey driver's license reflecting an address on a street upon which 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 which, per § 201-40, is authorized to received Ocean Avenue resident parking permits. 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 shall be submitted to the Sea Bright Police Department. Applications submitted without a copy of a driver's license and vehicle registration or lease shall not be processed.
D.
Permit applications shall be available at the Sea Bright Police Department.
E.
The Ocean Avenue resident's placard is to be placed on the rearview
mirror and shall be visible at all times while parked in the permit
parking areas.
F.

G.
The possession of a Ocean Avenue resident parking permit does not

ordinances, including but not limited to parking too close to stop
signs or intersections.
H.
The sale or transfer of a permit is prohibited by anyone other than
the Sea Bright Police Department.
I.
There shall be a maximum of two parking permits issued for each residential
dwelling unit.
J.
Though valid Ocean Avenue resident parking permits allow for vehicles to be parked within municipality regulated pay to park areas without payment and not, under normal circumstances, within areas, per § 201-33, established as "residential permit parking only," Due to the high traffic volume and parking demand within Sea Bright Borough, particularly during the summer months, circumstances may arise where Ocean Avenue resident parking permit holders are unable to park vehicles due to absence of parking spaces within the municipality-regulated pay to park areas. In this particular case where parking is not available within the municipality-regulated pay to park areas due to vehicle volume, special events, or emergency service activity, Ocean Avenue resident parking permits shall allow for vehicles to be parked within "residential permit parking only" areas. The Sea Bright Police Department shall have the authority to determine if circumstances permit the use of "residential permit parking only" areas for vehicles displaying valid Ocean Avenue resident parking permits and retains authority to issue summonses for violations of § 201-16.6.
K.
The issuance of a Ocean Avenue resident parking permit does not guarantee
parking.
Ocean Avenue resident parking permits are subject to revocation

Any vehicle bearing an expired Ocean Avenue resident parking permit and parking within a designated pay to park area or, under defined circumstances, on a street posted as "Residential Permit Parking Only" shall be subject to the penalty as a vehicle parked on the street without a resident permit as set forth in § 201-41 below.
