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)

C. The parking study occupancy rates shall determine the parking restrictions as set forth in Section 10.48.060(C).
