displaying a valid Waterfront slip-permittee parking permit may be
parked for no more than 30 consecutive days in the Harbor Parking

slip permittee with a valid Waterfront slip-permittee parking permit
to fail to remove a permitted vehicle for at least 96 consecutive
hours after 30 consecutive days. Violation of this requirement is
grounds for immediate revocation of a slip-permittee parking permit.

when necessary to support maritime activities. Such exceptions may
be issued conditionally.

Waterfront Director or his or her designee may permit a person to
