In making that determination, the Authority shall consider the existing parking regulations and controls at the proposed location, the existing property uses at the location, the presence of other valet parking zones in the area, and such other factors as the Authority determines are relevant to the necessity and justification for the valet parking zone.

(2) An application for a valet parking zone shall be made on a form provided by the Authority. If the Authority approves the application, then the Authority shall issue a permit for the valet parking zone upon payment of the fee set forth in subsection (3). The permit shall specify the length and location of the zone, the days and hours permitted for operation, and such other conditions as the Authority may reasonably prescribe and shall be valid for one year. Permits shall not be transferable, but may be renewed annually upon payment of an annual renewal fee in the amount set forth in subsection (3). A business which operates for only a portion of the year may be issued a valet parking zone permit for a term of six months, and the annual renewal fee for such permit shall be half the amount set forth in subsection (3).

(3) Permit Fees; Renewal Fees.

(a) In the following areas, the annual permit fee shall be two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500) for each twenty feet of curb space used for the valet parking zone, provided that if the period of use authorized by the permit is for less than four days a week, the annual permit fee shall be one thousand five hundred dollars ($1,500); and provided, further, that if the period of use authorized by the permit does not exceed six consecutive months in a calendar year, then the fee shall be equal to fifty percent (50%) of the amount that would otherwise be due:

(4) The Department shall post signs indicating the location and hours of operation of each valet parking zone for which a permit has been granted. The fee for installing such signs shall be two hundred fifty dollars ($250), provided that, with respect to a permit that limits the period of authorized use to six consecutive months or less in a calendar year, if the Department elects to remove the valet parking zone sign to which such permit relates at the end of the authorized period and to re-install the sign at the beginning of the next authorized period, then the Department shall impose an additional annual fee of two hundred fifty dollars ($250) for each year in which the Department both re-installs and removes such sign.

(5) No person shall stop, stand or park a vehicle in a valet parking zone during its posted hours of operation for any purpose other than the expeditious loading or unloading of passengers and to turn control of the vehicle over to valet parking.

(b) The Department may further exclude from these boundaries any streets, upon request by the organization for business or efficiency reasons. The Department shall grant any such request unless the Department finds that the exclusion would lead to an unreasonably inequitable provision of service, or otherwise would be inconsistent with the purposes of this Section.

(c) The Department may expand the boundaries of the Service Area, upon request by the Organization and a determination by the Department that expansion will promote transportation flexibility, reduce congestion or improve the equitable provision of service.

(3) A vehicle registered to a flexible-park auto sharing organization shall be exempt from the following parking regulations, so long as the organization is in substantial compliance with the provisions of subsection (4), below ("Required agreement"), and so long as the vehicle is in compliance with the provisions of subsection (6), below ("Vehicle requirements"):

(.3) It will comply with all local license and tax requirements, including but not limited to the Vehicle Rental Tax set forth at Chapter 19-3300.

(.4) It will timely pay all parking tickets, red light camera tickets, automated speed enforcement tickets, and any other automated traffic enforcement tickets incurred by its members, subject to the right of the organization to dispute any such tickets pursuant to Section 12-2806 ("Answer") or Section 12-3009 ("Request for a Hearing").

(5) Agreement suspension and termination.

(a) Upon a determination by the Department that a flexible-park auto sharing organization is not in substantial compliance with its agreement, the Department, after written notice and an opportunity of no less than five (5) business days for the organization to resolve any deficiencies, may suspend the organization's privileges under this Section for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days.

(b) Upon a determination by the Department that a flexible-park auto sharing organization is not in substantial compliance with its agreement and that the violations of the agreement present a substantial impediment to the free flow of traffic, the availability of parking, or the equitable provision of services, the Department, after written notice and an opportunity of no less than five (5) business days for the organization to resolve any deficiencies, may cancel the agreement.

(c) Council may amend, suspend, or repeal this Section 12-918.1 at any time. No flexible-park auto sharing organization shall have any rights under the provisions of this Section or any agreement under this Section, other than as provided under such amendment, suspension or repeal.

The Department may allocate equitably among multiple organizations the total number of vehicles permitted; provided that, for any Organization that already has an agreement with the Department under this Section 12-918.1, the Department shall not reduce the number of vehicles permitted by such Organization absent overriding considerations of public safety, traffic congestion or equity.

(8) The Department may, at its discretion, enter into an exclusive agreement with a single flexible-park auto sharing organization for an initial pilot period not to exceed twelve (12) months, to begin when the organization first places vehicles on the street for public use.

(9) On such schedule as the Department deems appropriate, the Department shall file a report with City Council setting out the Department's analysis of the success of this program with regard to the free flow of traffic, availability of parking, equitable provision of services, and such other factors as the Department determines are appropriate for evaluating the program's merits. The Department shall work with any Organization under agreement to ensure that, as permitted by law, no proprietary information is made public in any such report.

(10) Pilot Program; Sunset Provision. The provisions of this Section 12-918.1 shall expire either:

(a) Two years after an organization first places vehicles on the street for public use, unless the Department certifies to the Chief Clerk of Council, prior thereto, that continuation of these provisions are not likely to impede the free flow of traffic, the availability of parking, or public safety; or

(b) One hundred and twenty (120) days after the Department certifies to the Chief Clerk of Council that continuation of these provisions will impede either the free flow of traffic, the availability of parking, or public safety.
