(a) No person (including any natural person, partnership, firm, association or corporation) shall engage in, conduct, or carry on the activity of valet parking without having obtained a valet parking permit. A valet parking permit shall be required for providing the service of parking vehicles for persons attending any business, activity, or event (whether located within or without the city) if that service uses any city street or alley or city parking facility as the location for either (i) transferring operation of the vehicle from its driver to the provider of the valet parking service, (ii) parking the vehicle, or (iii) transferring the vehicle to or from the parking location. For purposes of this chapter, a city street is considered to be used for valet parking if any portion of the traffic lanes, curbside parking, or driveways within a city sidewalk is the location where the vehicle is parked or where operation of the vehicle is transferred from its driver to the valet parking service provider.
(b) The city manager or designee of the city manager may grant a revocable permit for valet parking upon written application therefor, and upon certain findings, as set forth in Section 10.45.050.
