A separate application shall be made for each motor vehicle.

The Franconia Township Chief of Police shall verify the information by examination of the applicant's vehicle registration, lease agreement and operator's license.
(4) 
Upon receipt of the completed and verified application, and upon determination by the Chief of Police that the information on the application demonstrates that the applicant is entitled to a parking permit, the Chief of Police shall issue to the applicant a numbered residential parking permit for the particular motor vehicle described in the application. The permit shall not be transferable from one vehicle to another, except that a temporary permit may be issued when requested by a resident for the use on a rental or loaner vehicle being used in lieu of the permitted vehicle when disabled or while being repaired.

The Chief of Police shall have the authority to revoke a parking permit found to be in violation of any provision of this subsection. Upon written notification of the revocation, the permit holder shall surrender the permit to the Chief of Police and failure to so surrender shall constitute a violation of this subsection.
