(1) The street must be a public street located within the city and not have a posted speed limit of greater than 25 mph;
(2) The street must be located within a residential neighborhood;
(3) The street must be reasonably safe for the operation of golf carts in conjunction with existing traffic after looking at all factors, including: width of street, sight distances, horizontal and vertical curvature, intersections, parking, location relative to a school or daycare center, the existence of traffic lights or other traffic control devices, and the speed, volume and character of motor vehicle traffic using the street; and
(4) Any other factors that the Police Chief, or his or her designee, deems necessary when evaluating a particular street.
