(A) When signs are erected in each block or parking lot giving notice thereof, no person shall stop, stand or park a vehicle between the hours and on the days specified on the signs. If no days are specified, after sunrise on Sundays and public holidays shall be excepted. This prohibition shall not apply when it is necessary to stop a vehicle to avoid conflict with other traffic or in compliance with a police officer or official traffic control device, or when a vehicle has a valid permit issued in accordance with division (B).
(B) (1) The Mayor, or Mayor's designee, may establish residential permit parking areas and issue permits to residents of the area subject to regulations established by the Mayor or Mayor's designee that, at a minimum, consider the following:
(a) The demand for on-street parking on the affected streets relative to the parking availability, and parking needs of the residents;
(b) The relative value of on-street parking for non-area residents to allow access to community amenities and resources balanced against any significant impacts on the area residents that may justify the need for parking limitations or restrictions; and
(c) Economic Development, and support for community commerce.
(2) At least one community meeting shall be held for area residents and members of the general public to voice concerns and considerations about a proposed residential parking by permit area; and
(3) The Mayor shall submit an executive communication to the City Council for its approval of each instance of the establishment of a new residential parking by permit area designation. The proposed residential parking permit area will become effective only upon the City Council's approval of the respective executive communication.
(4) The residents or the entity or event which causes the need for such on street parking, or the permitted residents may be required to pay for all direct and indirect costs caused by, or associated with, permit parking.
(C) Permit parking may be created on a pilot basis or by the Department of Municipal Development if permit parking may resolve special circumstances affecting an area.
