The purpose of this Chapter is to provide permanent residents,
and their legitimate house-guests, exemption from certain restrictions
placed on on-street vehicle parking when such restrictions are placed
on residentially zoned streets fronting their primary residences.
(Ord. 2953 § 1 (part),
1996; Ord. No. 3556, § 8, 5-24-2021)
A. Those
persons eligible for the exemption shall be only those residents of
lots which have frontage on the particular portions of streets which
are designated for the exemption program by Council resolution. Temporary
exemptions may be granted to houseguests of such residents, for a
period not to exceed two weeks. Residents may only obtain exemptions
for those vehicles which are registered in their names and in use
by the residents themselves. If not registered in a resident's name,
but in permanent use by a resident, exemptions may be obtained after
a demonstration of suitable authorization of use such as a lease agreement
or other documentation of authorization.
B. Exemptions
are not transferable.
C. A change
of residence away from an area eligible for exemption shall automatically
void the exemption and use thereafter shall constitute a violation
of this Chapter.
D. Exemptions
shall only be valid for the specific area for which they are granted.
(Ord. 2953 § 1 (part),
1996)
In order to maintain the exemption, a valid exemption sticker
provided by the City or the City's agent shall be permanently displayed
in each vehicle, in the lower corner of the vehicle's rear window
(driver's side). On convertibles and pickup trucks, the sticker shall
be placed in the lower corner of the windshield.
(Ord. 2953 § 1 (part),
1996; Ord. No. 3530, § 7, 11-25-2019)
Payment of fees to cover costs of the exemption program shall
be required at the time of issuance of exemption stickers. The amount
of such fees shall be set and may be changed from time to time by
Council resolution.
