Criteria for permit parking
The surveys and studies shall determine that:
1. Non-resident vehicles substantially and regularly interfere with the use of the majority of available public street,
2. Non-resident vehicles interference occurs at regular and significant daily or weekly intervals
3. Non-resident vehicles parked in the area of the proposed zone cause or are the source of unreasonable noise, traffic hazards, environmental pollution, or devaluation of real property in the area of the proposed zone
4. No unreasonable displacement of non-resident vehicles will result into surrounding neighborhoods
5. A shortage of reasonably available and convenient residential related parking spaces exists in the area of the proposed zone
6. Alternative solutions are not feasible of practical.
If the proposed Preferential Parking Zone meets the criteria, the City Staff will recommend to the City Council adoption of the Preferential Parking Zone. The City Council must adopt a resolution to establish a Preferential Parking Zone. |
