(a) The director shall, upon application and payment of all applicable permit fees, issue resident- parking-only permits, up to a maximum of six permits per residence or business establishment, to any person who is eligible for a permit. An applicant is eligible for a resident-parking-only permit if:
(1) the applicant owns or occupies a residence or business establishment located within the resident-parking-only zone; and
(2) the applicant and every other person owning or occupying the same residence or business establishment as the applicant:
(A) has no unresolved parking citations issued by the city;
(B) has no outstanding fines or warrants for a violation of this division; and
(C) complies with all other requirements of this division.
(b) The application for a permit must contain:
(1) the applicant’s name and an identifying number from the applicant’s Texas driver’s license, military identification card, passport, or personal identification card issued by the Texas Department of Public Safety;
(2) the name of every person 15 years of age or older who owns or occupies the same residence or business establishment as the applicant and, if applicable, an identifying number from that person’s Texas driver’s license, military identification card, passport, or personal identification card issued by the Texas Department of Public Safety;
(3) the address of the applicant’s residence or business establishment located within the resident- parking-only zone;
(4) a statement that neither the applicant nor any other person owning or occupying the same residence or business establishment as the applicant has any unresolved parking citations issued by the city or any outstanding fines or warrants for a violation of this division; and
(5) any other information the director determines necessary to the enforcement and administration of this division.
(c) To prove that an applicant owns or occupies a residence or business establishment located within a resident-parking-only zone and to verify the contents of the application, the applicant shall present at the time of application:
(1) a valid Texas driver’s license, military identification card, passport, or personal identification card issued by the Texas Department of Public Safety, showing the applicant’s current home address; and
(2) a recent utility bill, acceptable to the director, that is addressed to the applicant and shows an address of a residence or business establishment located within the resident-parking-only zone.
(d) The annual fee for a resident-parking-only permit is $6 for each permit issued to a residence or business establishment located within a resident- parking-only zone. Each residence or business establishment located within a zone may apply for up to six permits.
(e) When a motor vehicle is parked in a resident- parking-only zone, a permit must be conspicuously displayed in a manner and location approved by the director. A permit may only be displayed on a motor vehicle that is either owned or leased by an owner or occupant of the residence or business establishment to which the permit is issued or owned or leased by a visitor to the residence or business establishment to which the permit is issued.
(f) A permit authorizes the holder to stop, stand, or park a motor vehicle at any time in a resident- parking-only zone, unless such stopping, standing, or parking is prohibited or restricted by regulations other than those established under this division. A permit does not guarantee or reserve to the holder a parking space within the zone and does not exempt the holder from other applicable parking and traffic regulations.
(g) A permit is not transferable, except that a permit issued to a residence or business establishment located within a resident-parking-only zone may be displayed on a motor vehicle owned or leased by a visitor to that particular residence or business establishment.
(h) A permit expires one year from the date of issuance and may be renewed by applying in accordance with this section.
(i) A lost, destroyed, or stolen permit may be replaced for a $6 fee. The permit holder must submit a signed affidavit stating that the permit was lost, destroyed, or stolen. (Ord. 23863)
