Persons who have obtained hardship permits pursuant to this section shall be exempt from the provisions of Section 10.44.020 during the duration of said permit.
(a) Eligibility. Any resident of the city of Palo Alto may be eligible for a one-time nonrenewable hardship permit for an oversized vehicle if such resident can show a "hardship." For the purposes of this section "hardship" means that the applicant has no legal offstreet parking space adequate to accommodate the vehicle for which the permit is sought at the street address specified in the permit application.
(b) Classes and Duration of Permits. There shall be two classes of permits: (i) resident permit; and (ii) guest permits. Any resident of Palo Alto may obtain a resident permit for a specified vehicle upon establishing actual residence at an address within the city. The maximum duration of this permit shall be thirty days but shall not exceed the actual duration of the hardship. Any resident of Palo Alto may obtain a guest permit for a specified vehicle registered to a non-resident guest of the applicant. The duration of guest permits shall not exceed fourteen days and shall not be renewable within thirty days following expiration.
(c) Fees. The fees for hardship permits shall be set forth in the municipal fee schedule. No hardship permit shall be issued until said fee has been paid to the supervisor of revenue collections.
(d) Procedures and Regulations. Applications for hardship permits shall be submitted to the supervisor of revenue collections. The supervisor of revenue collections may issue a hardship permit if it is determined that the application of Section 10.44.020 will create a hardship on the applicant or his guest. The supervisor of revenue collections may establish additional procedures and regulations for the implementation of this section which are consistent with this section and with Section 10.44.020 of this code.
