B.

Such special-purpose parking spaces may be established by Council at any location on any Borough street (irrespective of whether the location is in a parking meter zone) or at any location in a service drive, parking lot, playground, park, recreation area, or other facility owned or operated by the Borough. However, in establishing a special-purpose parking space on a Borough street (and irrespective of whether the special-purpose parking space will be located in a parking meter zone), Council shall consider such circumstances or factors as:

(1) The benefit to the public in providing a special-purpose parking space for public business or other special public purpose.

(2) The benefit to the public health, safety or welfare in providing a special-purpose parking space for law enforcement officers or for those federal, state, county or Borough personnel whose duties require frequent daily trips back and forth from their offices.

(3) The benefit to patient care in providing a special-purpose parking space for a doctor or the like whose duties require frequent daily trips back and forth between his office and a hospital, medical center, emergency center, or the like.

(4) The benefit to passenger service or carrier dispatch in providing a special-purpose parking space for taxicab stands.

C. Parking spaces for handicapped individuals.

(1) Power to establish.

(a) The Borough Council shall have the power under this § 233-35C to establish (by resolution adopted by Council from time to time) parking spaces reserved exclusively for handicapped individuals or severely disabled veterans. Such parking spaces (which are referred to hereafter as "HP spaces") may be established by Council at any location on any Borough street (irrespective of whether the location is in a parking meter zone) or at any location in a service drive, parking lot, playground, park, recreation area, or other facility owned or operated by the Borough. However, in establishing an HP space on a Borough street (and irrespective of whether the HP space will be located in a parking meter zone), Council shall consider such circumstances or factors as:

[1] The benefit to handicapped members of the public in providing an HP space on a Borough street to address a need or problem special to the handicapped.

[2] The benefit to a handicapped individual who resides or works at a location where entry and exit by the handicapped individual (or parking by the handicapped individual) is limited to a site on a Borough street in providing an HP space on the street as close as possible to that handicapped individual's place of residence or place of work.

(b) After Council has established an HP space, a copy of the resolution establishing that HP space shall be placed in the HP Book kept in the office of the Borough Secretary, and the location of the HP space shall be plotted and shown on the HP Map kept in the office of the Borough Secretary. The HP Book and the HP Map (with all the explanatory matter, notations, references and other information shown on the Map) are hereby incorporated in and made a part of this § 233-35C by reference and shall be as much a part of this subsection as if the contents of the book and the map were fully set forth herein or attached hereto.

(2) Except for persons parking vehicles lawfully bearing a handicapped or severely disabled veteran registration plate or displaying a handicapped or severely disabled parking placard when such vehicles are being operated by or for the transportation of a handicapped individual or a severely disabled veteran, it shall be unlawful for any person to park a vehicle in an HP space.

D. In establishing a special-purpose parking space or HP space (and irrespective of where the special-purpose parking space or HP space will be located), Council may require that the person seeking the benefit of a special-purpose parking space or HP space is established or the person who will use the special-purpose parking space or HP space:

[Added 3-13-2017 by Ord. No. 2017-3[1]]

(1) Fill out an application on a form provided by the Borough;

(2) Provide such information as is required by the Borough; and

(3) Pay any application fee required by the Borough. The amount of any application fee shall be adopted by separate resolution by the Borough Council of the Borough of Lewistown, and such may be amended from time to time by the Borough of Lewistown. The current Borough Costs and Fees Schedule shall be on file in the Borough's offices and otherwise available to the public.

[1] Editor's Note: Pursuant to this ordinance, former Subsections D and E were redesignated as Subsections E and F, respectively.

E. In establishing a special-purpose parking space or HP space (and irrespective of where the special-purpose parking space or HP space will be located), Council may:

(1) Require that the person for whose benefit the special-purpose parking space or HP space is established or the person who will use the special-purpose parking space or HP space: a) reimburse the Borough for the costs of such official signs as are installed by the Borough to designate the special-purpose parking space or HP space and the conditions, restrictions, or the like on parking in that space; and b) reimburse the Borough for the costs incurred by the Borough in installing the signs; and

(2) If the special-purpose parking space or HP space will replace a metered parking space and result in the removal of a parking meter (as distinguished from making the space a special-purpose metered parking space or an HP metered parking space), require that the person for whose benefit the special-purpose parking space or HP space is established or the person who will use the special-purpose parking space or HP space: a) reimburse the Borough for the costs incurred by the Borough in removing the parking meter; and b) pay the Borough a weekly, monthly, annual or other periodic fee in lieu of the parking meter revenues forfeited by the Borough in removing the parking meter.

F. If a special-purpose parking space or HP space is once established and is thereafter abandoned, forfeited, relinquished or turned back to the Borough, the Borough Manager may:

(1) Require that the person for whose benefit the special-purpose parking space or HP space was established or the person who used the special-purpose parking space or HP space: a) reimburse the Borough for the costs incurred by the Borough in removing any signs installed under Subsection E(1); and b) reimburse the Borough for the costs incurred by the Borough in reinstalling any parking meter removed under Subsection E(2); and

(2) If the periodic fee paid for the special-purpose parking space or HP space under Subsection E(2) was other than a weekly or monthly fee, refund a proportionate part of the fee — the refund to be based on the number of whole calendar months (excluding any fraction of a month) remaining until the expiration of the period for which the fee was paid, and the refund to be reduced and offset by any costs due the Borough under Subsection F(1) above.

§ 233-36 Double standing or double parking prohibited; exception for loading or unloading.

[Amended 8-11-2008 by Ord. No. 2008-4]

Except where parking is limited to a shorter period of time at all times or at certain specified times, or except where parking is permitted for a longer period of time at all times or at certain specified times, it shall be unlawful to park a vehicle or to allow a vehicle to remain parked in the same location on a street for longer than 12 consecutive hours.
