A. No person shall park a vehicle on any street or city owned parking lot between the hours of twelve o'clock (12:00) midnight and six o'clock (6:00) A.M. of any day, beginning November 15 and ending March 15 of each year. Winter parking permits may be purchased by property owners of legally existing nonconforming residential properties built prior to 1968 if said properties cannot physically accommodate legal on site parking. Permits shall be purchased and renewed annually and shall be limited to a maximum of two (2) permits per legally existing unit. The actual number of permits per unit will be determined by considering, the number of existing off street stalls and any physical space available for additional off street parking stalls. Permit fees shall be set by council resolution. Other permit conditions may be required administratively if deemed necessary to minimize negative impacts.
B. No person shall leave any vehicle parked as to be an obstruction to a public works project or solid waste collection vehicles which would be hazardous to other traffic at any time, day or night.
C. Residents or persons visiting when required by emergency or other unusual circumstances may apply to the city for a period for all night parking on the street if off street parking is not available. The city for good cause shown may authorize a vehicle or vehicles to remain parked on the street for a specified period of time provided a permit is issued and properly displayed.
D. No person who owns or has possession, custody, or control of any vehicle shall park such vehicle upon any street or alley or city owned parking lot for more than a consecutive period of twenty one (21) hours, unless authorized by the mayor or a designee and a permit showing such authorization is visibly displayed as designated on the permit.
E. The mayor, or a designee may, when conditions justify such action, declare an emergency and designate specific streets as emergency routes. Such designation shall, unless otherwise specified, prohibit parking on those streets, day or night, until the emergency designation is removed. Notification shall be by newspaper and/or radio, television, cable or e-mail. (Ord. 16-33, 2016)
