Title
An ordinance relating to the regulations for resident-only parking permits and zones.
Sections
101-27.7-11-b am
101-27.7-11-c-1 am
Analysis
This ordinance provides that preparation of a map showing the locations of designated resident-only parking zones by the department of public works, and keeping the map in the common council proceedings, the official record on file in the city clerk’s office and the code on file in the legislative reference bureau, shall no longer be required. Instead, records of the locations and hours of designated resident-only parking zones shall be kept in the same manner as records of street-specific parking regulations, namely by identifying those locations and hours in the common council proceedings, the official record on file in the city clerk’s office and the code on file in the legislative reference bureau.
This ordinance also provides that the parking privileges afforded to the holder of a resident-only parking permit shall be available only during designated times, rather than 24 hours per day, 7 days a week, as currently provided.
Body
The Mayor and Common Council of the City of Milwaukee do ordain as follows:
Part 1. Section 101-27.7-11-b of the code is amended to read:
101-27.7. Residential Daytime Parking Privilege for Commuter Parking Impacted Areas.
11. RESIDENT-ONLY PARKING PERMIT.
b. Locations of Resident-Only Parking Zones. Resident-only parking zones shall be designated in the manner provided in subs. 5 and 6. Resident-only parking zones may only be designated on one side of a roadway on streets where parking is available on both sides of the roadway. [[The designated streets shall be those as illustrated in appendix A attached to common council file number 060272. After adoption by the common council, a record of designated resident-only parking zones shall be maintained as indicated in sub. 9-c.]] >>The locations and hours of designated resident-only parking zones shall be found in the common council proceedings, the official record on file in the city clerk’s office and the code on file in the legislative reference bureau.<<
Part 2. Section 101-27.7-11-c-1 of the code is amended to read:
c. Parking Permitted.
c-1. A person whose residence lies within a resident-only parking zone may apply for a resident-only parking permit. [[The]] >>During designated times, the<< holder of a resident-only parking permit shall be permitted to stand or park the vehicle to which the permit applies in a resident-only parking zone without regard to posted parking prohibitions. While a vehicle for which a resident-only parking permit has been issued is so parked, the permit shall be displayed so as to be clearly visible through the lower left side of the windshield of the vehicle. A resident-only parking permit shall not guarantee or reserve to the holder a parking space within a resident-only parking zone.
