Provisions of this division which require payment of parking meters located on City streets shall apply at such times and hours as may be determined from time to time by the Department, based upon engineering and traffic investigation. Such times and hours shall be indicated by signs or on the parking meter; provided, however, that the Department may, in its discretion, from time to time prohibit all parking in areas included in the parking meter zones during times of emergency by causing the appropriate “NO PARKING” signs to be posted.

The hours of operation for the use of personal parking meters, when permitted, in commercial loading zones, time limit zones and no parking zones, shall be 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM on any day except Sunday. Such devices do not exempt vehicles from “No Stopping” restrictions.
(Amended by Ord. No. 180,092, Eff. 9/7/08.)
Every parking meter shall be set to display, upon payment for a parking meter space, the period of time for which said payment has been made, and said parking meter shall continue to display, upon the entry of the parking meter space number, if applicable, the remaining paid time for said parking meter space from the time of payment until the expiration of the paid time, or until a vehicle vacates said parking meter space, whichever is sooner.
Every parking meter shall also be so arranged that upon the expiration of the parking time for which said payment has been made, and upon the entry of the parking meter space number, if applicable, it will indicate by a visible display that the lawful parking time has expired.
Every parking meter shall indicate the legal parking time which has been or may be established for that area or zone of the street upon which said parking meter is installed.

Personal parking meters shall be displayed pursuant to instruction of the Department and shall be activated by the user upon arrival in a commercial loading zone, time limit zone or no parking zone. The meter shall be programmed pursuant to Department requirements, shall display the hours and minutes parked at a location and shall charge the rates established in Section 88.00.1. Upon reaching the maximum of four hours at any one location, or upon expiration of all prepaid time, the meter shall display the word “EXPIRED.” The vehicle shall thereafter be in violation of applicable parking regulations, and may be cited for a violation of any applicable “expired meter” parking restriction.
(Amended by Ord. No. 181,852, Eff. 10/3/11, Oper. 1/1/12.)
When the operator of a vehicle parks in a parking meter zone on a public street, the operator shall immediately make or cause to be made a lawful payment for the parking meter adjacent thereto, or, if none, for an applicable parking meter in the vicinity after entering the assigned parking meter space number, except when utilizing a personal parking meter as provided in Sections 88.01.1, 88.03.1 and 88.06.1, at the rates established and provided therefor in Section 88.00 as modified pursuant to Section 88.00.2 of this Article and in accordance with the payment schedule adopted by the Department for said parking meter space, as indicated on the parking meter.

(Added by Ord. No. 170,019, Eff. 10/21/94.)
Personal parking meters shall operate with stored prepaid time. This time shall be sold by the Department at the rate of one dollar per hour in increments of 20 hours.
