(a) Definitions. For the purposes of this section, unless otherwise apparent from the context, certain words, terms, and phrases used in this section are defined as follows: (1) ”Cross-zone parking” shall mean the parking or standing of any vehicle in a permit parking zone using a permit that was issued for a different permit parking zone, which is prohibited under this section to ensure exclusive use by residents of dwelling units within the specific zone. (2) “Dwelling unit” shall mean a house, apartment, condominium, mobile home or other type of residence providing complete independent living facilities for one or more persons, including permanent provisions for living, sleeping, eating, cooking, and sanitation. (3) “Motor vehicle” or “vehicle” shall mean an automobile, truck, recreation vehicle, motorcycle or other motor- driven or self-propelled form of transportation. (4) “Nonresident vehicle” shall meanany motor vehicle parked in a zone that does not display a valid permit issued specifically for that zone and is otherwise not a “resident vehicle” as defined herein. (5) “Permit parking zone” or “zone” shall mean a permit parking zone for the exclusive benefit of residents of dwelling units within that zone and their resident vehicles, in which zone vehicles may not park unless an authorized zone- specific permit is displayed thereon or unless such vehicle is otherwise exempt as provided in this section. (6) “Resident” shall mean a person owning, leasing, or residing in a dwelling unit within a permit parking zone. (7) “Resident vehicle” shall mean a motor vehicle parked in a zone that is registered with a state motor vehicle department to a resident of a dwelling unit within that specific permit parking zone and displaying a valid permit issued for that zone. (b) Designation of permit parking zones. The City Council, by resolution, may designate a permit parking zone and establish the days and hours during such days when parking in such permit parking zone shall be restricted. (c) Findings. Prior to designating certain residential streets, or portions thereof, as a permit parking zone, the City Council shall find: (1) That such zone is necessary to provide reasonably available and convenient parking for residents of dwelling units within the zone; (2) That the proposed zone is desirable to encourage the use of car-pooling; (3) That the proposed zone is desirable to enhance or protect the quality of life in the area of the proposed zone, preventing cross-zone and nonresident parking; and

(4) That the proposed zone will tend to encourage nonresident vehicles to park in off- street parking facilities. (d) Considerations. Before making its findings with respect to any proposed permit parking zone, the City Council shall consider such factors as it deems appropriate, including the following: (1) Whether nonresident vehicles substantially and regularly interfere (or may interfere) with residents’ use of a majority of available public street parking spaces in the proposed permit parking zone, including whether such interference occurs at regular and significant intervals; (2) Whether nonresident vehicles driven or parked in the proposed permit parking zone are a source of unreasonable litter, noise, traffic hazards, environmental pollution, or devaluation of real property in the area of the proposed permit parking zone; (3) Whether the residents of dwelling units in the proposed permit parking zone desire its establishment; (4) Whether a shortage of residential-related parking spaces exists in the area of the proposed permit parking zone, including due to cross-zone parking: and (5) Whether an alternative solution is feasible or practical. (e) Posting required. The City Traffic Engineer shall designate established permit parking zones by placing and maintaining appropriate signs indicating that parking is prohibited for vehicles without a zone-specific permit and the hours and days when such parking is prohibited. (f) During the hours and on the days designated on such signs, it shall be unlawful for the operator of any vehicle to park such vehicle on any street in a permit parking zone unless there is displayed on such vehicle a valid permit issued for such zone or such vehicle is otherwise exempt. (g) Parking permits. Permits, of a type and design established by resolution of the City Council authorizing parking only in the permit parking zone for which issued, shall be issued by the License Official. (1) Upon submitting such application and supplying such proof of residence as is required by the License Official, the License Official shall issue up to three resident permits upon payment of the applicable fee to a dwelling unit within a zone for motor vehicles that are either registered in a resident's name, or otherwise under his or her exclusive control, as demonstrated by insurance or other documentation. No more than one parking permit shall be issued to each motor vehicle for which application is made. The License Official may issue more than three (3) parking permits for a dwelling unit in the zone if it is shown, by proof satisfactory to the License Official, that there are more than three (3) vehicles registered to residents of the dwelling unit and that insufficient off-street parking is available to them during the restricted hours. Permits are valid only in the issued zone and not transferrable to other zones. (2) A permit issued pursuant to this section shall remain valid for so long as the person to whom it was issued continues to reside in the dwelling unit within the zone for which the permit was issued or until the permit parking zone for which such permit was issued is disestablished. (3) It shall be unlawful for any person to whom a permit is issued to transfer, sell, rent, or lease such permit, or to allow such permit to be used on a nonresident vehicle, either with or without consideration. The License Official shall revoke the parking permit of any person who is convicted of a violation of this subsection. (4) It shall be unlawful for any person to pay any consideration for the purchase or use of a parking permit issued pursuant to this section. It shall be unlawful for any person who is not a resident of a dwelling unit within a specific zone to display in a vehicle any parking permit issued pursuant to this section, except that a resident may allow visitors to their dwelling unit to temporarily use one or more of the resident's allotted permits for parking within the zone, subject to the restrictions in subsection (g)(3) of this section. Otherwise, visitors must park on driveways or off- street parking facilities. (h) Exempt vehicles. The posted restrictions of a permit parking zone shall not apply to:

ion, except that a resident may allow visitors to their dwelling unit to temporarily use one or more of the resident's allotted permits for parking within the zone, subject to the restrictions in subsection (g)(3) of this section.

(a) “Terminal” means a facility at which freight is consolidated to be shipped, or where full load consignments may be loaded or off-loaded, or at which the vehicles are regularly maintained, stored, or manufactured, and to which interstate trucks have approved access. (b) “Interstate trucks” means vehicle combinations specified in Cal. Veh. Code § 35401.5(a). (c) “City Traffic Engineer” means the Traffic Engineer of the City of Ontario or his authorized representative. (d) “Caltrans” means the State of California Department of Transportation, or its successor agency. (e) “Applicant” means an authorized representative of an existing or proposed terminal.

(f) “Route” means access route for interstate trucks to a terminal. (§ 1, Ord. 2305, eff. June 6, 1985)

The purpose of this article is to establish procedures for terminal designation and truck route designation to terminals for interstate trucks operating on a federally designated highway system. (§ 1, Ord. 2305, eff. June 6, 1985)

(a) An applicant who desires designation of a route for access to a terminal may submit an application on a form provided by the City. Such application shall be accompanied by such other information as may be required by the City Traffic Engineer. The application must be filed with the Engineering Department, and all applicable fees must be paid at the time of filing. (b) Upon receipt of an application, the City Traffic Engineer will determine whether the proposed terminal is located in a zone which permits such use, and whether such use could otherwise be lawfully conducted at the proposed location. (c) If the terminal may lawfully be located where it is proposed, then the City Traffic Engineer will determine the capability of the route requested, and alternative routes, whether requested or not. Determination of route capability will include, without limitation, a review of adequate turning radius and lane widths of ramps, intersections and highways, and general traffic conditions, such as site distance, speed, and traffic volumes. (d) At the completion of his investigation, the City Traffic Engineer shall notify the applicant, and Caltrans, as to which routes, if any, are satisfactory, which routes, if any, are unsatisfactory, and which routes, if any, are unsatisfactory, but could be made satisfactory through retrofitting. (e) No route shall be approved unless it is also approved by Caltrans. (§ 1, Ord. 2305, eff. June 6, 1985)

(a) If all feasible routes to a requested terminal are found unsatisfactory by the City Traffic Engineer, the applicant may request retrofitting the deficiencies. All costs of engineering, construction, and inspection will be the responsibility of the applicant. Except when retrofitting of deficiencies is within the jurisdiction of Caltrans, the actual construction will be done by the City or by a contractor acceptable to it, at the City's election. (b) When the work is done by the City, the applicant will deposit with the City of Ontario the estimated cost of retrofitting. The adjustments between the estimated and actual cost shall be made after completion of the work, and any difference between the actual and the estimated cost shall be billed or refunded to the applicant, as the case may be. When the work is done by the applicant, the applicant may file with the City Traffic Engineer, on a form satisfactory to the City Traffic Engineer, a statement detailing the actual cost of the retrofitting. (c) If, at any time within five (5) years from the date of completion of the retrofitting by the applicant, should any applicant seek terminal approval which would use the route upon which such retrofitting was accomplished, any such applicant's fee may include that applicant's proportionate share of the retrofitting, as determined by the City Traffic Engineer, which proportionate share, if collected, shall be disbursed by the City of Ontario to the applicant who paid for the retrofitting, as well as any applicant who contributed to the cost of retrofitting under this subsection. Nothing

herein shall require the payment of a proportionate share if the applicant doing the work failed to file the report with the City Traffic Engineer required by subsection (b) above. (§ 1, Ord. 2305, eff. June 6, 1985)

(a) The City Traffic Engineer may revoke any approved terminal or route designation if the terminal or route becomes unsatisfactory for interstate truck traffic, or as established by a resolution of the City Council. An unsatisfactory route includes the inability of interstate trucks to negotiate the route or said vehicles causing undesirable driving conditions for other vehicular traffic or pedestrians. (b) The City Traffic Engineer may revoke any approved terminal or route designation if any billing to an applicant, for fees, charges or other sums due the City under this article, or any resolution adopted pursuant to this article, is not paid within sixty (60) days. This subsection shall not affect the City's right to recover the sums represented by any such billing by an action of law or otherwise. (c) The City Traffic Engineer shall give written notice of his decision to revoke any approved terminal or route to each affected applicant. The action of the City Traffic Engineer shall be effective when the time to appeal the same has expired, if no appeal is taken. If the decision of the City Traffic Engineer is appealed in a timely manner, the action of the City Traffic Engineer shall be effective upon the date of any City Council action upholding that decision. (§ 1, Ord. 2305, eff. June 6, 1985)

(a) If the City's Traffic Engineer denies terminal designation, route feasibility, or revokes a previously approved terminal or route designation, any affected applicant, within ten (10) calendar days following the date of receipt of the decision of the City Traffic Engineer, may appeal said decision to the City Council in writing. The applicant shall pay a nonrefundable fee as established by the City by resolution, sufficient to pay the cost of the review of the appeal. An appeal shall be made on a form prescribed by the Engineering Department, and shall be filed with the City Clerk. The appeal shall state specifically wherein there was an error or abuse of discretion by the City Traffic Engineer. Within ten (10) days of the filing of an appeal, the City Traffic Engineer shall submit to the City Clerk the terminal application, the sketches of the revoked route, and all other data filed therein, the report of the City Traffic Engineer, and his decision on the application. (b) The appeal shall be heard within forty five (45) days after the notice of appeal is filed. The City Clerk shall make copies of the data provided by the City Traffic Engineer available to the appellant, and may give notice to any party who requested notice of the time when the appeal will be considered by the City Council. (c) Within ten (10) days after the hearing, the City Council shall render its decision on the appeal. (d) If Caltrans, and not the City Traffic Engineer, denies or revokes terminal access from federally designated highways, no appeal may be made to the City Council, but must be made to Caltrans, as may be permitted by Caltrans. (§ 1, Ord. 2305, eff. June 6, 1985)

Should a requested route pass through the City to a terminal located in another jurisdiction, the applicant shall also comply with that other jurisdiction's application process. Coordination of the approval of the route through the City will be the responsibility of the jurisdiction which controls the terminal's land use. (§ 1, Ord. 2305, eff. June 6, 1985)

Trailblazer signs will be required at every decision point within the City en route to the terminal.

Article 22. Valet Parking

The primary purpose of public streets and rights-of-way is the free and unobstructed right of travel. The City recognizes that the use of public streets and rights-of-way for valet parking operations, while providing a public benefit, may impede travel, interfere with rights of others using the streets and rights-of-way, and may affect the public safety and create a public nuisance. The City may therefore permit and restrict valet parking operations as a special privilege, not as a matter of right, in order to foster public safety and to prevent public nuisances. The approval of any permit under this chapter for the use of the public right-of-way is on a temporary and nonpermanent basis and is for a nonexclusive use of that public right-of-way. Permittees shall have neither a property interest in nor any entitlement to the granting or continuation of any permit for the use of any public right-of-way. For the reasons set forth in this article, a system of valet parking permits is enacted for the City of Ontario. (§ 2, Ord. 3276, eff. August 15, 2024)
