A. Parking permits shall be issued by the parking permit coordinator's office. Each such permit shall be designed to state or reflect thereon the particular city permit parking area. No more than one parking permit shall be issued for each motor vehicle included on the application.

B. The following classifications of persons or entities (listed in order of priority) may be issued parking permits for motor vehicles under their control upon request pursuant to the allocation basis set forth in said declaration:
1. Area residents of the city permit parking area for motor vehicles owned or controlled and regularly parked in the area by household members.
2. Area business owners who own or lease property (and their full time employees) within a city permit parking area for motor vehicles associated with the business use regularly parked in the area. However, no more than one parking permit may be issued for each such motor vehicle.
3. Area residents and area businesses (and the full time employees of area businesses) within a seasonal city permit area during the term set forth in the declaration.
4. Guests, customers, and/or clients of city permit area residents or area businesses who may be provided guest permits by such area permittees for use on vehicles under the legal control of guests, customers and/or clients during periods when persons operating such vehicles are actually visiting or engaged in business at the area permittee's address, for periods not to exceed two (2) days per visit.
5. Temporary visitors as provided by section 12.64.130 of this chapter or its successor.
C. Issuance of a permit shall not guarantee or reserve to the holder thereof an on street parking space within the designated permit parking area. (Ord. 69-98 § 1, 1998: Ord. 77-97 § 6, 1997: Ord. 24-97 § 1, 1997)
A motor vehicle bearing a valid parking permit displayed as provided for herein, shall be permitted to stand or be parked in the permit area for which the permit has been issued without being limited by parking regulations or prohibitions solely applicable to commuter vehicles. The permit does not exempt drivers or owners from complying with general parking regulations and penalties imposed by the traffic code set out in this title, or ordinances. All other motor vehicles not displaying permits that are parked within a city permit parking area shall be subject to the commuter parking regulations adopted by such declaration authorized by this chapter, and the penalties provided for herein. (Ord. 24-97 § 1, 1997)
Each declaration shall authorize the parking permit coordinator to issue temporary visitor parking permits to residents and businesses located within designated permit areas for use of their bona fide transient visitors, service persons, and construction personnel for a limited duration not to exceed forty five (45) days. Prior to expiration, a vehicle bearing a visitor permit shall have all the parking rights, obligations and privileges held by permanent permits. Appropriate requirements or limitations on visitor permits, methods and qualification for fees, shall be recommended in each permit parking area by the parking permit coordinator and contained in the transportation engineer's declaration. (Ord. 69-98 § 1, 1998: Ord. 77-97 § 6, 1997: Ord. 24-97 § 1, 1997)
A. Faithful compliance with the terms of the city parking permit program is a condition subsequent to the privilege of obtaining a permit. Violation of the terms of the city parking permit area shall be deemed a forfeiture of those privileges.
1. Any permit holder convicted for violation of this chapter may be required to surrender such permit as a part of sentencing.
2. The parking permit coordinator is authorized to revoke the city parking permit of any person found to be in violation of this chapter, and upon written notification thereof, the person shall surrender such permit to the parking permit coordinator. Failure, when so requested, to surrender a city parking permit so revoked shall constitute an infraction.
3. In the event the parking permit coordinator has good cause to believe that any person or entity is abusing the visitor permit system described above, he shall so notify the permit holder. Any further application for a visitor permit by such person found abusing the system may be denied for a period of not more than one year.
B. Any person aggrieved by such a determination made by the parking permit coordinator under subsections A2 and A3 of this section shall have the right to appeal to the transportation engineer within seven (7) days of such determination. (Ord. 69-98 § 1, 1998: Ord. 77-97 § 6, 1997: Ord. 24-97 § 1, 1997)
