Upland Municipal Code Ch. 10.44 Establishment of Permit Parking Zones on Residential Streets

A. The city council may designate by resolution certain residential streets, or portions thereof, as permit parking zones for the benefit of residents adjacent thereto in which zones vehicles displaying a permit or other authorized indicia may be exempt from parking prohibitions or restrictions otherwise posted, marked, or noticed. Each permit parking zone shall be designated only upon findings that such zone is required:

1. That such zone is necessary to provide reasonably available and convenient parking for the benefit of the adjacent residents;

2. That the proposed zone is desirable to encourage the use of car pooling;

3. To enhance or protect the quality of life in the area of the proposed zone threatened by litter, noise, traffic hazards, environmental pollution or devaluation of real property resulting from nonresident vehicular traffic and parking; and

4. To encourage nonresident vehicles to park in designated off-street parking facilities.

B. No preferential parking ordinance shall apply until signs or markings giving adequate notice thereof have been placed.

(Prior code § 3309.20)

The criteria for determination of findings are as follows:

A. That nonresident vehicles, defined as those vehicles operated by persons whose destinations are to nonresidential locations, do or may substantially and regularly interfere with the use of the majority of available public street parking spaces by adjacent residents;

B. That the interference by the nonresident vehicles referred to in subsection A of this section occurs at regular and significant daily intervals;

C. That the nonresident vehicles being driven or parked in the area of the proposed zone cause or are the source of unreasonable litter, noise, traffic hazards, environmental pollution, or devaluation of real property in the area of the proposed zone;

D. That the majority of the residents adjacent to the proposed zone desire, agree, or request permit parking privileges;

E. That no unreasonable displacement of nonresident vehicles will result in surrounding residential areas;

F. That a shortage of reasonably available and convenient residential-relating parking spaces exists in the area of the proposed zone; and

G. That no alternative solution is feasible or practical.

(Prior code § 3309.22)

The city licensing officer shall issue permits for permit parking.

A. Applicants for such permits may be required to present such proof, as may be required by the city licensing officer, of residence adjacent to the area designated as permit parking zone. Not more than three permits shall be issued for each qualified dwelling unit to any qualified applicant. Applicants requesting more than three permits for any dwelling unit may be granted additional permits by the city licensing officer upon a showing that there are more than three vehicles registered at the address of such dwelling unit and that insufficient off-street parking is available to the applicant during the effective hours.

B. Duration of Permits. Permits issued pursuant to this chapter shall remain effective for so long as the applicant continues to reside in a qualified dwelling unit for such permit, or until the permit parking zone for which such permit was issued is eliminated, whichever period of time is less.

C. Conditions of Permits. Each permit issued pursuant to this chapter shall be subject to all the conditions and restrictions set forth in this chapter and of the permit parking zone for which it was issued, including conditions or restrictions which may be altered or amended from time to time. The issuance of such permit shall not be construed to be a permit for, or approval of, any violation of any provision of the Upland Municipal Code or any other law or regulation.

(Prior code § 3309.24)

No permit shall be required for any vehicle used while making pickups or deliveries of goods, wares or merchandise to any building or structure located adjacent to the permit parking zone, or while necessarily in use in the construction, installation or repair of any improvement on the premises of any residence adjacent to the permit parking zone.

(Prior code § 3309.25)

A. No vehicle shall be parked or stopped adjacent to any curb in a permit parking zone in violation of any posted or noticed prohibitions or restrictions, posted or noticed under the provisions of this chapter, unless such vehicle shall have prominently displayed on a designated location upon such vehicle, a permit indicating an exemption from such restrictions or prohibitions.

B. It is unlawful for any person to allow the use of, transfer, sell, rent or lease, or cause to be used, transferred, sold, rented, or leased for or without any value or consideration any permit parking permit. Upon the conviction of a violation of this subsection, all permit parking permits issued to or for the benefit of the dwelling unit for which the used, transferred, sold, rented, or leased permit was authorized shall be void.

C. It is unlawful for any person to borrow, buy or otherwise acquire for value or use any parking permit, except as provided for in this section.
