A. 
The city council may designate by resolution certain residential streets, or portions thereof, as permit parking zones for the benefit of residents adjacent thereto, in which zones vehicles displaying a permit or other authorized indicia may be exempt from parking prohibitions or restrictions otherwise posted, marked or noticed.
B. 
Each permit parking zone shall be designated only upon findings that such zone is required:
1. 
To provide reasonable available and convenient parking for the benefit of the adjacent residents;
2. 
To encourage the use of car pooling;
3. 
To enhance or protect the quality of life in the area of the proposed zone threatened by litter, noise, traffic hazards, environmental pollution or devaluation of real property resulting from nonresident vehicular traffic and parking; and
4. 
To encourage nonresident vehicles to park in designated off-street parking facilities.
C. 
No preferential parking ordinance shall apply until signs or markings giving adequate notice thereof have been placed.
D. 
The findings referred to in subsection B of this section shall be based upon the following criteria established to the satisfaction of the city council:
1. 
That nonresident vehicles (defined as those vehicles operated by persons whose destinations are to nonresidential locations) do or may substantially and regularly interfere with the use of the majority of available public street parking spaces by adjacent residents;
2. 
That the interference by the nonresident vehicles referred to in subsection (D)(1) of this section occurs at regular and significant daily intervals;
3. 
That the nonresident vehicles being driven or parked in the area of the proposed zone cause or are the source of unreasonable litter, noise, traffic hazards, environmental pollution, or devaluation of real property in the area of the proposed zone;
4. 
That no unreasonable displacement of nonresident vehicles will result in surrounding residential areas;
5. 
That a shortage of reasonably available and convenient residential-related parking spaces exists in the area of the proposed zone; and
6. 
That no alternative solution is feasible or practical.
(Ord. 348 §§ 2, 3, 1986)
A. 
Issuing Authority. The director of public safety shall issue permits for permit parking. Eligibility to receive a parking permit is to be based upon proof of residency and upon proof that requesting person and/or the registered owner of the subject vehicle has paid in full any outstanding parking violations issued by the city of Loma Linda to such vehicle or any other vehicle currently or previously owned by the requesting person. Applicants for such permits may be required to present such proof, as may be required by the director of public safety, of residence adjacent to the area designated as a permit parking zone. Applicants requesting more than three permits for any dwelling unit may be granted additional permits by the director of public safety upon a showing that there are more than three vehicles registered at the address of such dwelling unit and that insufficient off-street parking is available to the applicant during the effective hours of the permit parking zone.
B. 
Fees. The director of public safety may collect a processing and administrative fee as established by resolution of the city council.
C. 
Duration of Permits. Permits issued pursuant to this chapter shall remain effective for a period of October 1st of one year through September 30th of the following year, or fraction thereof, so long as the applicant continues to reside in a dwelling unit qualified for such permit, or until the permit parking zone for which such permit was issued is eliminated, whichever period of time is less.
D. 
Conditions of Permits. Each permit issued pursuant to this chapter shall be subject to all the conditions and restrictions set forth in this title and of the permit parking zone for which it was issued, including conditions or restrictions which may be altered or amended from time to time. The issuance of such permit shall not be construed to be a permit for, or approval of, any violation of any provision of this code or any other law or regulation.
(Ord. 554 § 4, 1986; Ord. 348 § 1, 1997; Ord. 735 § 1, 2016)
No vehicle shall be parked or stopped adjacent to any curb in a permit parking zone in violation of any posted or noticed prohibition or restriction, unless such vehicle shall have prominently displayed on a designated location upon such vehicle, a permit indicating an exemption from such restriction or prohibition. The registered owner and the person parking or stopping a vehicle in violation of this section shall be guilty of a violation thereof.
(Ord. 348 § 5, 1986)
A. 
It is unlawful for any person to transfer, sell, rent or lease, or cause to be used, transferred, sold, rented or leased, for or without any value or consideration, any permit parking permit. Upon the conviction of a violation of this subsection, all permit parking permits issued to, or for the benefit of, the dwelling unit for which the used, transferred, sold, rented, or leased permit was authorized, shall be void.
B. 
It is unlawful for any person to borrow, buy or otherwise acquire for value or use any permit parking permit, except as provided for in this title.
