a. General. Any area satisfying the objective criteria established in these procedures may be considered for designation as a permit-parking area. Permit-parking areas may be designated by Council resolution in which motor vehicles displaying a valid parking permit may stand or be parked without limitation as to the parking time restrictions established by that resolution. The resolution shall also state the applicable time limitation(s) and the period(s) of the day(s) of the week for its application.
b. Nonresident Parking Problem. An area shall be deemed eligible for consideration as a permit-parking area if the data for surveys and studies prepared at the direction of the City Engineer satisfy the objective criteria that the area is impacted by vehicles belonging to nonresidents for any extended period(s) of any day(s) or night(s), on weekdays, weekends, or holidays.
c. Criteria. In determining whether an area identified as eligible for permit-parking may be designated as a permit-parking area, the following criteria shall be included in the review and consideration:
1. The extent of the desire and need of the residents for permit-parking and their willingness to bear the costs associated therewith;
2. The extent to which legal on-street parking spaces are occupied by motor vehicles during the period(s) proposed for parking restriction;
3. The extent to which vehicles parking in the area during the period(s) proposed for parking restriction are vehicles belonging to nonresidents rather than residents;
4. The extent to which motor vehicles registered to residents in the area cannot be accommodated by the number of available off-street parking spaces; and
5. The location and number of spaces available as alternative parking locations for vehicles of nonresidents which are to be displaced in the proposed permit-parking area.
