A. Any construction vehicle, pick-up truck, van or car may make proper use of any marked parking stall, and is not excused from parking methods or time limits associated with said stall, not excused from the fines for violating parking methods or limits, as prescribed by city ordinance, except as provided by the permit process outlined below.
B. The city engineer has the authority to grant the use of one or more parking stalls for continuous use by construction vehicles, equipment or dumpsters. The vehicles or equipment eligible for a continuous parking permit must house or transport the materials, tools or equipment needed on a daily basis by the contractor. Permits will not be issued for personal or company vehicles whose main purpose is to transport labor to the job site. Laborers and construction workers must park as described in subsection A of this section. The city engineer is the sole judge of whether continuous parking of a vehicle is warranted, and will issue permits based on this judgment.
C. The parking permit will be marked with the inclusive dates for which it is valid, ranging from one weekday (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday) through twenty weekdays (four weeks). The weekdays for which the permit is valid must be continuous (not counting Saturday and Sunday). The parking permit must be displayed on the vehicle or posted at the parking space.
D. The parking permit will be marked with the one-block location in which it is valid and with the date(s) which the permit is valid.
E. Permits issued allow parking in marked stalls only; all no parking zones, such as yellow curbs, crosswalks, fire and hydrant zones, etc., must still be observed. Permittee shall not use a marked handicapped stall.
F. Permits are valid for one stall only within one block.
G. The city engineer has the authority to revoke permits, if the department determines that the permit is being abused or is unwarranted. The department may refund, at its option, the prorated costs associated with the remaining time period of the permit.
H. A permittee may not seek refund for any portion of a permit, once issued, nor can the location or dates of validity be changed or transferred.
I. Any construction vehicle, equipment, material or debris which is to be parked, operated, stored or used in the public right-of-way, other than properly parked as outlined above, will require the approval of the board of public works and safety.
