(A) The Director of Public Works is authorized to determine the location of loading zones and place and maintain appropriate signs indicating the same, stating the hours during which the provisions of this section are applicable.
(1) It shall be unlawful to park any vehicle in any place designated as a curb loading zone during the days of the week or hours of the day when the restrictions applicable to such zones are in effect, except for the expeditious loading and unloading of passengers or the delivery of goods and services. Vehicles occupying these zones for this purpose are limited to a period not to exceed 30 minutes, unless posted otherwise, and must have their hazard lights flashing at all times while the vehicle is stopped in a loading zone.
(2) The Director shall not designate any loading zone upon the request of any person unless the person makes application for a permit for the zone and for two signs to indicate the ends of each zone. Application for a loading zone shall be made to the City Collector's Office on forms provided for that purpose. The application shall indicate the applicant's name, address, telephone number and any information the City Collector's Office may require. Upon receipt of the application the Director shall review the location and determine that the installation of a loading zone will not negatively impact parking, traffic or the current conditions present at the requested location. The city, upon granting a permit and issuing the signs, shall collect from the applicant and deposit in the City Treasury a service fee of $100 per year. The city may impose conditions upon the use of the signs and for reimbursement to the city for the value thereof in the event of their loss or damage and for the return of the signs in the event of their misuse or upon the expiration of the permit. Every such permit shall expire on December 31 of each year.
(B) Vehicles in violation of this section are subject to citation and towing at the owner's expense.
