(a) The chief of police, or his/her designee, shall grant one requested annual permit for each single-family dwelling.
(b) Except as provided in subsection (a), above, the chief of police, or his/her designee, shall grant a requested permit, unless, after the investigation provided for in Section 19.60, the chief of police, or his/her designee, determines there is sufficient space available on the applicant’s property (off-street) for legally parking a vehicle or any of the following applies:
(1) Off-street parking is not available because a motor vehicle is parked at the applicant’s residence when that vehicle (i) is not owned or operated by the applicant or (ii) does not have current vehicle registration as required by law and (iii) which causes the applicant to require the permit for on-street parking of a motor vehicle;
(2) Off-street parking is not available because that on-site space which could be used for the parking of a motor vehicle is being used for parking or storage of a boat, trailer, recreational vehicle, household goods, or other personal property, which causes the applicant to require the permit for on-street parking of a motor vehicle;
(3) Off-street parking is not available because a garage (or other structure built for parking of a vehicle) is being used as an accessory structure for any habitable space including, but not limited to, a den, bedroom, or operation of a business, which causes the applicant to require the permit for on-street parking of a motor vehicle; or
(4) The applicant has any delinquent parking citation on file with the city. (Ord. No. 1173, § 1; Ord. No. 1607, § 1(b); Ord. No. 2093, § 2; Ord. No. 2099, § 2; Ord. No. 2103, § 1; Ord. No. 2123, § 2.)
19.61-5 Exception to denial.¶
If, after a denial pursuant to Section 19.61, the applicant shows, to the reasonable satisfaction of the chief of police, or his or her designee, there are mitigating or extenuating circumstances which result in the need for a parking permit (including, but not limited to, the applicant’s age or disability or the steepness of the applicant’s property), then the chief of police, or his or her designee, may grant an overnight parking permit. (Ord. No. 2103, § 1.)
