(A) Permit eligibility.
(1) Resident permits.
(a) Resident permits may be issued to:
1. Each person with a primary residence within the RPZ, limited to one parking permit per resident having any motor vehicle owned by, and registered to, or principally used by the RPZ resident;
2. A vehicle regularly utilized by a person who is employed by a person or entity that owns or leases residential property within the RPZ;
3. Any vehicle utilized in the area by an institution, such as a church, school, or hospital, located wholly or partially within the RPZ. However, no more than one parking permit may be issued for each institution within an RPZ for a motor vehicle registered to, or under the control of, such an enterprise, unless PARC determines a greater number may be appropriate for the particular RPZ involved.
(b) Information required on application. Permits will be issued only to residents of an address within the RPZ, or as otherwise set forth herein. Final determination of eligibility will be made by PARC, based upon criteria clearly set forth within its rules and regulations. Each application for a parking permit shall contain at least the following information:
1. Applicant name and address;
2. Proof of residency deemed acceptable by regulation adopted by PARC;
3. Make, model and license tag number of motor vehicle(s) for which an application is made;
4. Proof of ownership of motor vehicle, or principal use by the applicant of the motor vehicle;
5. Vehicle registration that indicates registration within the area for which the permit is to be issued; and
6. Any other information required by a rule or regulation adopted by PARC pursuant to this subchapter.
(2) Visitor permits.
(a) Upon application of any resident of an RPZ, PARC shall issue a visitor parking permit to the resident for temporary use on a visitor's vehicle.
(b) No more than two visitor parking permits shall be issued to any one dwelling unit, at any one time. For the purposes of this regulation, the resident shall be the holder of the visitor permit, and shall be responsible for its use or misuse.
(c) Visitor permits are transferable between automobiles. No resident of the RPZ may use the visitor permits for their personal vehicles. A visitor permit may only be used during the time a visitor is visiting with or working for the resident at the resident's residence. It is the resident's responsibility to ensure that the visitor permit is obtained after each use.
(d) A visitor permit shall be displayed on or about the front windshield of the vehicle so as to be easily visible from outside the vehicle.
(e) PARC may issue regulations regarding the use of visitor permits in order to prohibit the abuse of such permits.
(3) Special permits. Any person or persons requesting special exception from the residential neighborhood permit parking regulations may apply for a permit. Such application will be reviewed by PARC to determine the applicable restrictions, including day/date/time of validity, which shall be prominently indicated upon the face of the permit. While the event period may be granted for certain days within a period of time, no permit shall be valid for a period of longer than one year.
(B) Permit required. Resident, visitor and special permits shall be visibly displayed as determined by PARC.
(C) Replacement of permit. If the make, model or license tag number of a permitted vehicle changes during the year, the applicant may submit the new information to the parking enforcement office to obtain a replacement sticker. The permit previously issued to the permit holder immediately shall become void.
(D) Change of residency. If residents of a property change during the calendar year, the new resident(s) may complete a change of residency form and request application for permit. The permit(s) previously issued to the RPZ residents immediately shall become void upon application by the new resident(s).
(E) Fees shall be set by rule or regulation adopted by PARC and readopted or amended every 12 months.
(F) Expiration of permits. Permits will expire 12 months after the issuance date of the permit.
(G) Appeals of decision denying parking permit. Any person who has been denied a parking permit by PARC may appeal that decision in writing to the Director of PARC, or a designee of the Director of PARC. Such appeal shall be answered within ten days of receipt of said appeal, and the decision of the PARC Director or designee shall be final.
