A.
The locations described in Schedule XXIII (§ 284-59), included herein and made a part of this chapter, are hereby designated as handicapped parking spots.

Any resident of the City of Brigantine possessing a valid New Jersey
driver's license who has qualified for a handicapped parking permit
from the State of New Jersey may apply to the City of Brigantine for
a restricted handicapped parking space located near their residence.
The application shall be submitted to the City Manager with a current
copy of the applicant's handicapped parking permit and valid driver's
license issued by the State of New Jersey.
C.
Consideration will be given to non-driving applicants for restricted
curbside spaces providing that it is shown that there is a hardship
in dropping off the handicapped applicant at their residence and subsequently
parking the vehicle at another location. The nondisabled driver must
reside in the same household as the disabled person and provide verification
of such status.
D.
Restricted handicapped spaces will not be provided to applicants
who have access to driveways and/or to other off-street parking facilities.
E.
The number of handicapped restricted spaces on each City block will
be limited: Two spaces will be allotted per street side per block
with a maximum of four available spaces. The intent is to provide
a fair distribution of accessible spaces that are compliant with the
above guidelines to both handicapped and nonhandicapped residents
of the City.
F.
Applicants shall have the option of requesting a designated space
with a personal restriction that shall be defined by their New Jersey
license plate number being printed on the signs delineating their
space which shall be established by ordinance.
G.
There will be a one-time fee of $75 for a restricted handicapped
parking space. All handicapped parking spaces shall be subject to
annual review. Applicants shall be required to provide a copy of current
status of valid New Jersey handicapped status, driver's license and
vehicle registration.
H.
Restricted handicapped spaces designated by ordinance shall be listed in § 284-59, Schedule XXIII: Handicapped Parking.
I.
A handicapped parking permit may be suspended or revoked by the City
of Brigantine if the holder thereof has committed fraud or misrepresentation
in any application for a permit or in the use of such handicapped
parking permit or has violated any provision of this chapter. Additionally,
any individual to whom a restricted spot has been granted who is found
to be regularly utilizing on-street parking in the immediate vicinity
of the location of the restricted space that has been provided to
such individual, instead of utilizing such restricted space, shall
be subject to suspension or revocation of such restricted parking
space. No suspension or revocation shall occur prior to a hearing
being held before an Administrative Board, to consist of three persons:
the City Clerk, the City Manager, and the Chief of Police. Prior to
such hearing, the affected person(s) and/or firm(s) shall receive
notice of said hearing and shall have an opportunity to present a
defense.

or trailer in the City of Brigantine for a continuous period of more
than 48 hours in such places as parking is authorized unless the owner
or operator of said boat or trailer owns or leases the property in
front of which said boat or trailer is so parked. Between May 2 and

and to the extent that parking will not interfere with the normal
flow of traffic.
A.
Upon the declaration of an emergency, there shall
be no parking upon streets or parts of streets where temporary emergency
no-parking signs are displayed. The Director of Public Safety, or
his designee, is authorized to declare an emergency and to direct
the posting of said emergency no-parking signs when weather conditions,
accidents, fires or public celebrations dictate or require the avoidance
of hazards or other conditions which interfere with the free flow
of traffic, or to take appropriate steps to eliminate parking or travel
over public streets or portions thereof.
B.
Notification that the emergency no-parking signs are
being or will be posted shall be given to the operator or owner of
any vehicle which has been parked prior to the posting of the signs
whenever possible or practical, given the nature of the emergency.

upon signs being erected as required by law.
