1. No person shall stop, stand, or park any vehicle or permit it to stand on any street between the hours of two o'clock (2:00) A.M. and six o'clock (6:00) A.M. from November 15 to April 15 in each succeeding year. Variances to this article may be granted by the Council in cases where abutting property owners cannot provide off street parking in accordance with the provisions of this article and where other special circumstances exist which are beyond the owner's control, and conditions affect abutting property owners so that a strict application of the provisions of this article deprive the applicant of the reasonable use of his land. The Council may consider such things as:
a. Topographic conditions;
b. Nonconforming uses where limited public right-of-way and inability to get vehicles off the public street make it impossible for the owner to provide off-street parking;
c. The effect the variance will have on public safety and the public welfare.
2. All variances shall terminate on April 15 of each year and new application must be filed for the following year. (Ord. 41, 4-3-1984; amd. Ord. 2023-023, 10-17-2023)
