§ 150-154. Uniformity of parking regulations.

(a)

Within each discrete residential permit parking area there shall be uniform parking regulations applied to all locations where parking is allowed. Only when authorized by existing or future residential parking permit areas, a two-hour parking exemption for unpermitted vehicles will be allowed. Upon approval of a residential permit parking area, the office of transportation shall have parking regulation signs installed that clearly reflect the specific parking hours within the residential parking area indicating the time, location and conditions under which enforcement of the residential parking permit area shall occur.

(b)

Parking a motor vehicle on a street within a residential permit parking area shall be restricted to a two-hour period only if permitted as provided for under section 150-147 and Section 15-154(a). Otherwise, parking a motor vehicle within a residential permit parking area shall be prohibited during the restricted 12-hour period as indicated by street signage unless the motor vehicle displays a valid residential parking permit for that area during which the residential permit parking program is in effect. No residential permit parking program shall be established that exceeds a 12-hour period per day.

(c)

Only when authorized by existing or future residential parking permit areas, not more than 30 percent of all permit parking spaces established in a residential parking permit area shall be set aside for use by unpermitted vehicles. Whether such spaces shall be installed shall be determined through a petition process within the residential permit parking area to be established by the commissioner of the department of public works. Street signage in each residential permit parking area where such spaces are established must contain language that reflects that such spaces are available to non-permitted vehicles, if applicable.
