   The parking manager is authorized upon application to issue visitor permits to residents and owners of residential properties that are located within a residential permit parking area for use by transient visitors. The requirements governing the manner in which persons shall qualify for visitor permits in each residential permit parking area shall be established by the parking manager and may include, but not be limited to, current California Department of Motor Vehicle registration and proof of current residency,
both of which shall reflect the address of the resident or owner to whom the permit is issued. (Ord. 2012-007 § 1; prior code § 25.10.176)
10.48.100   Modification of regulations in existing residential permit parking areas.
   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. The parking manager shall have the authority to cause appropriate signs, markings and/or meters to be erected in the area, indicating prominently the parking regulations and conditions and the terms of use for permit parking.

   A motor vehicle displaying a valid residential parking permit may park in the residential permit parking area for which the permit has been issued and within three city blocks from the end of the city block of the address to which the permit is issued without being limited by parking regulations established pursuant to this chapter. The motor vehicle shall not be exempt from parking restrictions or prohibitions established pursuant to authority other than this chapter. All other motor vehicles parked within a residential permit parking area shall be subject to the parking regulations established pursuant to this chapter.

Each application or reapplication for a residential parking permit shall contain information sufficient to identify the applicant, his or her residence address or address of real property owned or leased within residential permit parking area, the license number of the motor vehicle for which application is made (for vehicle parking permits), and such other information that may be deemed relevant by the parking manager.

   C.   It is a violation of this chapter, unless expressly provided to the contrary, for a person holding a valid residential parking permit issued pursuant to this chapter, to permit the use or display of the permit on a motor vehicle other than that for which the permit is issued. Such conduct shall constitute a violation of the chapter both by the person holding the valid residential parking permit and the person who uses or displays the permit on a motor vehicle other than that for which it is issued.
