§ 19-434. Petition for designation or dedesignation.

(a)

Residents of a residential segment may petition the parking official to initiate a residential permit parking zone for the residential segment. The petition must be for at least both sides of one block if both sides are residential or, if only one blockface is residential, one residential blockface. Petitions for a residential segment shall not be considered if they are for the same area for which a petition has been denied by the city council in the last twelve (12) calendar months. Each petition shall be accompanied by the nonrefundable petition fee stated for this provision in the city fee schedule.

(b)

The petition must include, at a minimum, the following:

(1)

A description of the residential segment;

(2)

A description of the chronic parking problem or condition to be remedied;

(3)

Signatures consenting to a residential permit parking zone representing not less than sixty (60) percent of the addresses in the residential segment;

(4)

The name, address and telephone number of a resident of the proposed residential permit parking zone to serve as a contact;

(5)

The names and addresses of all residents within the proposed residential permit parking zone; and

(6)

Any other information reasonably required by the parking official to make any determination required under this article.

(c)

The parking official must review each petition for completeness and make a determination of completeness within five (5) working days. If the parking official finds the petition complete, the official must process the petition according to this section. If the parking official finds the petition incomplete, he shall return the petition with written notice of the deficiencies.

(d)

Once a complete petition is received, the parking official should forward a copy with all attachments to the senior engineer.

(e)

City council may dedesignate a resident-only permit parking zone at any time, with or without a resident initiation. Resident initiated petitions presented to city council for dedesignation shall be subject to the same criteria, evaluation, review and fees as presented in this section for designation.
