Sec. 13.24. - Beach area permit parking.

Pursuant to Vehicle Code Section 22507, a "resident permit parking program" (program) is established in the "beach parking meter area." Permit parking shall be made available to residents in the beach parking

meter area to alleviate a lack of existing off-street parking which would be aggravated by the installation of parking meters and the implementation of a four-hour parking zone. The public works director shall administer the program subject to the following standards and criteria:

(a)

Permits will be assigned only to residents with an address on a street included in the beach parking meter area or The South Strand (between Tyson and Wisconsin Streets) where the resident of the dwelling unit can demonstrate that adequate on-site, off-street parking for vehicles owned by the resident is not available.

(b)

Residents of the beach parking meter area may purchase one (1) resident parking permit per vehicle owned where the resident can demonstrate that adequate on-site, off-street parking for vehicles owned by the resident is not available. No more than two (2) guest permits may be issued for each eligible dwelling unit. Guest permits may be issued according to the administrative guidelines on file with the Financial Services Department ("Guidelines").

(c)

Residency may be demonstrated by:

(1)

Proof of current voter registration at an address within the program boundaries;

(2)

Proof of registration of the motor vehicle for which the permit is assigned showing the registered owner's address at the eligible dwelling;

(3)

A currently valid lease or other rental agreement; or

(4)

A currently valid utility bill showing service and mailing to the resident applying for the permit at the qualifying address.

(d)

The resident parking permit will be nontransferable. An administration fee established by city council resolution shall be collected before assigning each resident permit. A vehicle that has been assigned a permit shall display the vehicle's license plate pursuant to the applicable provisions of the California Vehicle Code, and if applicable any required proof of permit according to the Guidelines.

(e)

Each residence eligible to participate in the program may purchase up to two (2) guest parking permits. An administration fee in an amount established by city council resolution shall be collected before issuance of each guest permit. Lost or stolen permits will be reissued at a cost of twenty-five dollars ($25.00), or such other amount as the city council may establish by resolution. A vehicle that has been assigned a guest permit shall display the vehicle's license plate pursuant to the applicable provisions of the California Vehicle Code, and if applicable any required proof of permit according to the guidelines.

(f)

Parking permits assigned pursuant to this section and according to the guidelines shall be valid under the following terms and conditions, and those within the guidelines.

(1)

Permits assigned to residents with an address on a street included in the beach parking meter area shall be valid for one (1) calendar year.

(2)

Residents must apply for a new permit upon expiration.

(g)

Vehicles with valid permits shall be allowed to park up to a seventy-two-hour maximum on streets within the program boundaries without being subject to parking control by meter or time limited zone. Vehicle owners and operators are required to obey all other applicable parking laws and regulations. No permit shall be valid in any city parking lot or at any metered space outside of the program area.

(h)

This program shall not relieve any property owner from any obligation imposed by any zoning ordinance or land use regulations to provide on-site, off-street parking spaces as a requirement of development.

(Ord. No. 21-OR0309-1, § 1(Exh. A), 5-5-2021)

It

shall be unlawful for any person to cause, allow, permit or suffer any vehicle to be parked in a specified permit parking only zone without the vehicle having a valid permit purchased pursuant to section 13.24.
