(a) (1) Residential zone parking permit – Generally. The City Clerk or City Clerk's designee shall issue residential zone parking permits to qualifying residents of any residential parking permit zone ("eligible residents") for use on each car owned and registered within that permit zone that displays a current city wheel tax license emblem. Such permits may be issued as part of the city wheel tax license emblem. The residential zone parking permit shall not guarantee or reserve any parking space; nor shall it exempt the holder from the observance of any traffic or parking regulation.
(2) Residential zone parking permit – Issuance. Upon payment by the applicant of the permit fee hereinafter provided, the City Clerk shall issue, or cause to be issued, a residential zone parking permit. Such permits shall be issued only in conjunction with, and for the same term as, a valid city wheel tax license emblem. A residential zone parking permit shall be valid upon its issuance. The City Clerk is authorized to provide a grace period, not exceeding 30 days, during times of heavy volume of applications, for all eligible residents seeking to buy a residential zone parking permit. During any such grace period, the previously issued residential zone parking permit or one-day residential parking daily permit, as applicable, will continue to be valid.
(3) Residential zone parking permit – Proper display – Required. If separate from the wheel tax license emblem, a residential zone parking permit shall be affixed, in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and without the use of supplemental adhesives, at the lower right hand corner of the inside of the glass portion of the motor vehicle's windshield, directly above the city wheel tax license emblem. Any person who violates this subsection (a)(3) shall be subject to the fine set forth in Section 9-100-020(c).

(5) Residential zone parking permit – Replacement. A replacement residential zone parking permit shall be issued for $5.00 for individuals 65 years of age and older and $20.00 for all other individuals, if the current wheel tax license emblem is returned to the City Clerk and is accompanied by a receipt for the current residential zone parking permit. The replacement of any residential zone parking permit that is lost or destroyed will be made at full cost.
(6) Residential zone parking permit – Zone change fee. The zone change fee for a residential zone parking permit shall be $5.00 for individuals 65 years of age and older and $20.00 for all other individuals.
(7) Residential zone parking permit – Prorated fee schedule – Duration. The City Clerk is authorized to establish and administer a prorated fee schedule which shall apply to any eligible resident who purchases a residential zone parking permit for less or more than a year. The amount of the prorated fee shall be based on the number of months for which the wheel tax license emblem is issued.
(8) Residential zone parking permit – Persons with disabilities. If a residential parking permit zone is in effect at the place of residence of a person with a disability who is an owner of a vehicle licensed to a handicapped individual, as the term "handicapped individual" is defined in Section 3-56-050(a), such person shall be exempt from the residential zone parking permit fee set forth in subsection (a)(4) of this section.

(10) Temporary permits – Generally – Issuance. The City Clerk is authorized to issue temporary residential zone parking permits to persons holding a wheel tax license emblem under Chapter 3-56.
