Residential Daytime Parking Privileges., Chapter 10. Traffic and Vehicles, Municipal Code, Code of Ordinances, West Allis

(1)

Intent. The Common Council recognizes that certain residential premises in the City, improved prior to May 21, 1985, do not permit location of the minimum off-street parking spaces required under Section 12.20 of this Code; and, in such cases, parking time restrictions may unduly inconvenience occupants of such premises with respect to parking of their automobiles; and, a limited daytime parking privilege, as hereinafter provided for the occupants of such premises, will not adversely affect the public interest in lessening traffic congestion on City streets.

(2)

Permit.

(a)

The permit shall permit parking of the automobile for which it is issued on the street and in the block where the permit applicant resides, regardless of posted time limits, during those hours when all night parking prohibitions are not in effect.

(b)

The City Engineer shall issue the permit upon receipt of a proper application and the required fee and verification of eligibility for the permit.

(c)

The permit shall display the number, date of issue and expiration date of the permit, the license number, make and year of the automobile for which issued and the street and block in which the permit allows parking.

(3)

Application. The application form shall contain the name and address of applicant, the license number, make and year of the applicant's automobile, the location where the vehicle is to be parked, the month of issuance and the date of expiration of the permit applied for and a sworn statement that the information contained in the applicant is true and correct. Falsification of any of the above information shall be grounds for the immediate revocation of the parking permit.

(4)

Permit Fee. Permits shall be issued for each month, calendar quarter or semiannual period. There shall be no proration or refund of the required fee. The fee shall be seven dollars ($7.) per month, nineteen dollars ($19.) per calendar quarter or thirty-five dollars ($35.) per semiannual period, sales tax included. However, if the applicant has a valid all-night parking permit under Section 10.105 of this Code for the same month, calendar quarter or semiannual period for which application is made, the corresponding fee shall be waived.

[Ord. 6180 (repeal & recreate), 9/5/1995]

(5)

Eligibility.

(a)

The permit shall be issued to an occupant of a residential lot containing not more than three (3) dwelling units, only if:

The lot does not have the minimum off-street parking places required by Sec. 12.20 of this Code; and

As a result of lot size, configuration or building improvements, the minimum number of off-street parking spaces required by Sec. 12.20 of this Code cannot be provided on the lot.

(b)

The total number of permits issued for each residential lot shall not exceed the deficiency in the number of off street parking spaces determined under subparagraph (a); however, in no event shall more than one permit be issued for any one dwelling unit.

(6)

No Guarantee. Permits issued under this section shall not be construed as a guarantee of a parking space, shall not be transferable and shall not be applicable to any other parking restriction exemptions.

(7)

Display of Permit. The permit shall be placed in the lower left hand corner of the windshield, or in such other conspicuous place as the Police Department may designate, while the motor vehicle is in a parked position. Failure to properly display the permit shall be deemed a waiver of the parking privileges conferred by the permit.

(8)

Temporary Contractor Permits.
