(a) No owner or operator of any vehicle shall park such vehicle on any street within the City for a period of time longer than three minutes for loading and unloading passengers between the hours of 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. Emergency and public safety vehicles and vehicles being used by physicians on emergency calls are exempt from the provisions of this section.
(b) The Director of Public Safety is hereby authorized to issue special permits allowing parking during the prohibited time under this section where certain hardships exist. Application must be made by the resident requesting parking at a given location outlining specifically the make, model and other descriptive features of each vehicle involved, as well as the license number assigned to that vehicle. The application shall also state the expected period for which the permit is required. The resident will be required to renew the application, where necessary, at the end of such period, or each year if the hardship is of indefinite duration. Such permits can be rescinded upon violation of the procedures or upon changes of the circumstances and conditions which created the reason for a hardship variance.
(c) The Director may also authorize, on a case-by-case basis, at his or her sole discretion, street parking during the prohibited hours under this section upon request of the individual in proximity to whose property and for whose benefit such parking will occur. Such request must specify some legitimate purpose and the time period therefor.
