At present, the City's permit parking ordinance only provides for residential permit parking. There are several areas in the City, however, where parking permits have been assigned for non-residential uses. One such example is the right side of the Center Street hill, which is used for city vehicles and employees performing city business. These permit parking spaces are appropriate under certain circumstances, specifically, where parking is not in high demand and/or there is a need to accommodate a single commercial or government user with limited parking. As with other regulated parking spaces, permit parking spaces will be identified on the City's Parking Map, which is updated by Council Order.
