A. Form Of Permit: Once an area has been designated a resident only parking area, the city clerk shall issue parking permits in the form of decals and visitor permit tags to applicants determined eligible for permits under this chapter. The resident permits shall be valid from August 15 of a year through August 14 of the following year, and be in the form of numbered, color coded decals or, for visitors, in the form of numbered hangtags. Decals must be placed on the lower left rear window (driver's side) of the vehicle; visitor permit tags must be hung from the rearview mirror so as to be plainly visible from the sidewalk or street. It is acceptable for applicants with convertible vehicles, and/or vehicles with windows tinted in a shade in which the decal does not show through, to place the decal in the front driver's side window, as long as the decal does not block the driver's view.
B. Application, Number, And Type Of Permits: Applicants must appear in person and sign and complete a form provided by the city clerk, certifying their status as residents, or other parties eligible under this chapter, and present proof of identification, address, current vehicle registrations, and license plate number. A permit will not be issued to an applicant who, despite living within the boundary of the resident only parking area, resides in a multiple-family dwelling that has sufficient on site parking for residents. One decal may be issued for each vehicle currently registered to an applicant residing in the permit area. Owners of residential rental property who reside outside the area may receive one visitor permit upon presentation of proof of ownership of the property in addition to the requirements listed above.
C. Additional Decals Or Tags: Additional decals or visitor permit tags may be issued, upon receipt of the appropriate fee, if the city clerk or designee determines that extenuating circumstances warrant the deviation. The city clerk shall have discretion in assigning the time frame for expiration of additional visitor permit tags. An aggrieved party may appeal the decision to the city engineer in writing within seven (7) days of the decision.
D. Issuance Of A Permit Not A Guarantee: Issuance of a permit shall not guarantee or reserve to the holder thereof an on street parking space within the designated residential permit parking area. (Ord. 3149 §1, 2003: Ord. 3104 §1, 2003: Ord. 3065 §5, 2002)
