§ 19-610. Purpose.  


Latest version.
  • This program is enacted in response to serious adverse effects caused in certain neighborhoods of the city particularly the longterm parking of motor vehicles on the streets of such neighborhoods by nonresidents who do not visit or conduct business with the residents. This program is in response to these concerns generated mainly by parking congestion from students and staff and from other school-related activities and parking in residential areas that are adjacent to schools. Set forth in more specific detail in section 19-611, such longterm parking by nonresidents displaces resident parking, and impairs the health, safety, and welfare of all the residents of the city. In order to protect these neighbors, it is necessary to enact parking regulations restricting parking by nonresidents therein, while providing the opportunity for residents to park near their homes. The provisions in this article set forth a system of preferential resident parking through the establishment of residential permit parking areas within the city that will only be applicable to neighborhoods that are adjacent to or in close proximity to school institutions and that are affected by the adverse effects described above.
