Item No: 19-034
Responsible Dept: Legal
Action Requested: Ordinance Map/Lot: N/A
Amending Chapter 291, Vehicles and Traffic, Section 291-40, by Clarifying Parking Permit Requirements
Summary
This Ordinance will amend Chapter 291 of the Land Development Code by clarifying that permit parking spaces
may be assigned for a variety of uses, not just for neighborhood resident parking. 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.
