This chapter is enacted pursuant to Section 22507 of the California
Vehicle Code to establish a program for residential parking permit
zones.
Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, it shall be unlawful
for any person to stand or park any vehicle on any street or portion
thereof so restricted by resolution or ordinance of the City Council
to permit parking only during all or certain portions of the day provided
signs giving notice of said restrictions have been posed, unless a
parking permit issued by the City is displayed on the vehicle as provided
for in this chapter. This restriction shall not apply to any authorized
emergency vehicle, City vehicle or vehicle owned by a public utility
when such vehicle is being used for official business, or to any vehicle
used for collection or delivery of United States mail.
The City Council shall adopt a residential permit parking policy,
including, but not limited to, setting forth criteria and process
for establishment and modification of permit zones, the processing
and issuance of permits. The residential permit parking policy may
be amended from time to time by majority vote of the City Council
at a regularly scheduled City Council meeting.
The City Engineer is authorized to establish rules and procedures
to produce signs, forms and other materials necessary or appropriate
to implement the provisions of this chapter, provided that the establishment
of such is consistent with the residential permit parking policy.
It shall be a violation of this chapter for any person to:
A.
Falsely
represent him or herself as eligible for a residential parking permit
or to furnish false information in an application therefor.
B.
Improperly
use or display a permit or allow another person to use or display
a permit that was not issued for the benefit of another person.
C.
Copy,
produce or otherwise bring into existence a facsimile or counterfeit
permit.
