(a) The chief transportation official may issue a permit for the temporary use of any parking space in a public street or in a public parking facility upon a showing that the applicant will be moving property or conducting construction and/or maintenance work in the immediate area and that no alternative off-street site for the parking of vehicles or for the temporary storage of equipment and/or materials is available reasonably near the work site. Such permit shall entitle the holder temporarily to use a designated parking space or spaces in a public street or a public parking facility as specified in the permit without regard to time limits otherwise imposed, but shall not permit illegal parking or use and parking or use of unauthorized places.
(b) A permit, when issued for the use of a vehicle, shall contain the name of the permittee, the make and type of vehicle, the license number, and the location where and time when the permit shall be in effect. A permit, when issued for the temporary storage of equipment and/or materials, shall contain the name of permittee, the specific type of equipment and/or materials to be stored and the location where and the time when the permit shall be in effect. When a single permit is issued for both parking and storage, the information required for both parking and storage permits, as set forth in this chapter, shall be contained therein.
(c) When issued for parking or for storage, the permit shall be displayed as directed by the city.
(d) No permit shall be issued for any initial period greater than thirty working days, but the chief transportation official may renew the permit for additional periods not to exceed thirty working days each. The fee for such permit shall be established in the municipal fee schedule. No permit shall be issued until said fee has been paid to the city.
(e) In addition to the permits described in this section, the chief transportation official may issue permits authorizing the temporary use by commercial vehicles of any parking space in a public street or in a public parking facility upon a showing that the applicant provides emergency repair work. Such permit shall entitle the holder to use a parking space in a public street or a public parking facility without regard to the limits otherwise imposed, but shall not permit illegal parking or parking in unauthorized places; the permit shall authorize parking for the duration of the emergency only. Each use of the permit shall be recorded with the date, time, place, and nature of the emergency, as well as with other information required by the forms provided for reporting purposes. The completed form shall be submitted to the chief transportation official on a monthly basis for verification.
A permit shall be effective for one year and shall contain the name of the permittee, the make and type of vehicles, the license numbers and the effective dates of the permit. The permit shall be displayed as directed by the city. No person shall reproduce a permit. The annual fee for such permit shall be established in the municipal fee schedule. No permit shall be issued until said fee has been paid to the city.
It is unlawful and an infraction for any person:
(1) To use an emergency repair parking permit for other than parking for emergency repair work;
(2) To use an emergency repair parking permit for other than commercial vehicles;
(3) To use an expired or revoked emergency repair parking permit; or
(4) To reproduce an emergency repair parking permit. Two violations in any calendar year shall automatically revoke privileges for the next succeeding twelve months.
For purposes of this subsection, "emergency repair work" means repair work done to a structure or to mechanical, electrical, or plumbing devices where there exists a threat to life or property.
