(1) In order for an area to be considered for an RPZ, any person serving as a Neighborhood Advocate must submit a petition to PARC to investigate the need for the RPZ. The Neighborhood Advocate shall collect signatures of at least 60 percent of the property owners within the defined proposed area for the RPZ, via written verifiable vote and signatures. The property owners must agree to the RPZ as proposed, and indicate their approval by one vote per property owner. If a property owner owns multiple properties within the zone the property owner will be afforded one vote per property owned.

At a minimum three verifiable attempts:
(a) Certified letter is sent to the address of the property owner as listed from the Property Valuation Records.

(c) Neighborhood Advocate forwards a final notice to all property owners who have yet to respond to the address of the property owner as noted on their tax assessment. Letter must be sent via certified mail advising that failure to respond will result in the property owner being deemed to abstain from voting.
(2) Any property owner who abstains from voting will not be included in the required 60 percent. All votes shall be obtained and forwarded to PARC within 120 days or less.
(3) Request will only be considered for two or more contiguous block faces on local streets in the Urban Services District.
(4) The boundaries of and the streets within the proposed permit parking area must be clearly identified on each page of the request.
