   A.   Person(s) desiring to modify the parking regulations of an existing residential permit parking area shall consult with the parking manager to establish the proposed changes and blockface(s) impacted.
   B.   If the parking manager determines there is a significant show of interest by the residents in a residential area to modify the parking regulations in an area, the parking manager shall undertake a parking study to determine if the parking regulations for the area should be modified.
   C.   The parking study occupancy rates shall determine the parking restrictions as set forth in Section 10.48.060(C).
   D.   In the event that the parking study demonstrates an occupancy rate of fifty (50) percent or less, the parking manager shall decline a request to modify parking regulations for the same residential area or a substantial portion of that area, for a period of one year following determination of the occupancy rate unless there is a substantial change in the character of the residential area that impacts the need and desire for a modification of regulations.
   E.   If the parking study occupancy rate is more than fifty (50) percent, the parking manager shall mail out notices to the residents of the area proposed for modification. The notices shall set forth the parking regulation modifications and the boundaries of the area.
