Designation of restricted streets.
(1)
Whenever the governing body of the Borough of South
River shall determine that certain streets exclusively or primarily
servicing residential land uses, or portion of such streets, are being
used for parking by the operators of vehicles, which operators do
not reside on said street and that the average number of such vehicles
parking in such manner is in excess of 20% of the number of parking
spaces on said streets, then the governing body may determine that
parking shall be prohibited on said street or portion of said street
except by permit, as hereinafter provided, during the hours when the
above-stated conditions have been found to exist on those streets
or portions affected thereby as established by such determination.
(2)
In such cases, the Chief of Police shall cause appropriate
signs to be posted on those streets or portions thereof effecting
prohibiting all parking thereon during the hours when the above-stated
conditions have been found to exist, except parking by the holders
of permits, to be granted only under the following terms and conditions:
(a)
To registered drivers who are residents on any
street or portion thereof upon which parking is so restricted, for
every vehicle owned, leased or operated by such registered driver
and registered in the State of New Jersey.
(b)
To persons who are visitors of any persons who
are residents of any street or portion thereof upon which parking
is so restricted, subject to the provision, however, that not more
than one such permit shall be issued and outstanding at any one time
for the use of visitors of any one dwelling unit on any said street
or portion thereof upon which parking is so restricted. Said visitor
parking permit shall not be transferable.
(c)
To persons who do business with any persons
who are residents on any street or portion thereof upon which parking
is so restricted, subject to the provision, however, that the parking
prohibitions and restrictions of this chapter shall not apply to service
or delivery vehicles which are being used to make service calls or
deliveries.
(d)
To registered drivers who are residents of any
dwelling whose side yard abuts any street or portion thereof which
parking is so restricted, for every vehicle owned, leased or operated
by such registered driver and registered in the State of New Jersey.
[Added 4-5-2000 by Ord. No. 2000-9]
(3)
On the application of any person who resides on any
said street upon which parking is so restricted, the Chief of Police,
or his designee, may issue permits, to be valid for only one day and
for no more than eight hours on that day, upon a showing by such person
that, during the hours for which any such permit is to be issued such
person's residence will be used in such a way as to be consistent
with its residential character and with municipal ordinances and regulations
restricting the use thereof to residential purposes and that visitors
to such person's residence shall not be able to park in the immediate
vicinity thereof without violating the restrictions imposed by this
chapter. If the Chief of Police shall approve such application and
further find that the issuance of any such requested permits will
not unduly impair traffic safety during the time of their validity,
he shall issue such permit and may limit the street or portions of
streets for which they shall be valid. The total number of such permits
issued shall not at any time exceed 35% of the total number of parking
spaces on any street or portion thereof for which such permits are
valid.

Pursuant to the provisions of this chapter and based upon the findings of the Chief of Police or his designee, made in accordance therewith, no person who does not hold a parking permit issued in accordance with the terms of this chapter shall park any vehicle on the streets or portions thereof as set forth in § 193-33.1, Schedule IVA: Residential Permit Parking, in the Borough of South River seven days a week, 24 hours per day.
B.
Application for permit.
(1)
Applications for parking permits under this chapter
shall be made in writing to the Chief of Police, or his designee,
upon such forms as to be provided.
(2)
An applicant for a parking permit under this chapter
shall show to the Chief of Police, or his designee, satisfactory evidence
that he fulfills all the conditions required for the issuance of such
permit. Whenever such conditions no longer exist, any person holding
such permit shall surrender the same to the Chief of Police, or his
designee. It shall be unlawful for any person to represent that he
or she is entitled to a permit hereunder when he or she is not so
entitled, to fail to surrender a permit to which he or she is no longer
entitled or to park a vehicle displaying such permit at any time when
the holder of such permit is not entitled to hold it.
C.
Exceptions. Where determined by the governing body
of the Borough of South River, there may be exceptions to the residential
permit parking regulations. Such exceptions may allow but not be limited
to suspension of the residential permit parking regulations for a
specified period of time due to extraordinary conditions which may
exist in said areas either on a daily or occasional basis.

Violations and penalties. Any person who violates
any provision of this chapter shall, upon conviction thereof, be punished
