(a) In addition to other permit parking programs authorized in this article, the city manager may establish, subject to the advisory recommendation of the Park Tucson Commission and the Park Tucson administrator, additional Non-resident Permit Parking Programs as may be necessary and desirable to control traffic in high demand areas within the city. Pursuant to this section a "high demand area" is defined as one where more than seventy-five (75) percent of the legal curb parking spaces are occupied on a recurring basis, and more than twenty-five (25) percent of the vehicles parked do not belong to residents of the area.
(b) Subject to the advisory recommendation of the Park Tucson commission and Park Tucson administrator and the approval of Mayor and Council, the city manager may establish an annual fee for such additional permit parking programs to reduce parking in high demand areas and to promote alternate modes of transportation.
(c) Two (2) copies of the designations of programs and fees established under this section shall be listed within the administrative guidelines on file with the city clerk.
(d) Mayor and council may, at their discretion, change, modify or eliminate fees and/or permit parking programs established by the city manager.
(e) Vehicles parked within a designated parking permit area are subject to all provisions of section 20-255 except that applicants are not required to reside on a property immediately adjacent to the designated permit parking area in order to obtain a valid parking permit.
(f) Notwithstanding the requirements of section 20-263 as it pertains to commercial vehicles, permit-holders within Non-Resident Permit Parking Program areas who use commercial vehicles as personal vehicles may park on the same block within Non-Resident Permit Parking Program areas for periods of two (2) or more consecutive calendar days, regardless of the type of restriction that applies to such area.
