Title
A substitute ordinance establishing resident-only parking zones within the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee commuter impacted parking area.
Sections
101-27.7-11 rn
101-27.7-11 cr
Analysis
Through the efforts of the East Side Transportation Management Association, a comprehensive plan was developed to manage parking in the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee campus area. One element of this plan is the creation of resident-only parking zones on one side of various streets in the area. After agreement by the University, area residents and local businesses, enabling state legislation was sought and obtained under s. 349.13 (1k), Wis. Stats., for the first phase with an initial conversion of up to 721 parking spaces in the area to resident-only parking. This ordinance establishes resident-only parking zones containing up to 721 spaces within the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee commuter impacted parking area and allows persons whose residences lie within such zones to obtain permits to park in these zones without regard to posted parking prohibitions.
Body
The Mayor and Common Council of the City of Milwaukee do ordain as follows:
Part 1. Section 101-27.7-11 of the code is renumbered 101-27.7-12.
Part 2. Section 101-27.7-11 of the code is created to read:
101-27.7. Residential Daytime Parking Privilege for Commuter Parking Impacted Areas.
11. RESIDENT-ONLY PARKING PERMIT. a. Established. Within the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee impacted area described in sub. 9-c-18, in addition to the residential parking privileges otherwise provided in this section, resident-only parking zones are created whereby vehicles bearing valid resident-only parking permits issued pursuant to this subsection may be parked without regard to posted parking prohibitions on specifically designated streets within the area.
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.
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 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.
c-2. Any person eligible for a special privilege parking permit under s. 101-27.5 and whose residence lies within a resident-only parking zone may obtain 2 parking permits for parking 2 vehicles in the resident-only parking zone.
d. Application, Issuance, Revocation, and Transferability. Application for resident-only parking permits shall be made, and such permits issued and revoked, in the same manner provided in subs. 7, 8 and 12. Resident-only parking permits are transferable to the same extent as provided in sub. 12.
e. Compliance. A resident-only parking permit shall not authorize the holder thereof to stand or park a motor vehicle within a resident-only parking zone in places where parking or stopping is otherwise prohibited by ss. 346.52 and 346.53, Wis. Stats., and ss. 101-23, 101-23.7, 101-26.5, 101-26.7 and 101-27, nor exempt the holder from the observance of any traffic regulation other than the posted parking prohibition.
f. Service Vehicle and Guest Parking Permitted. Service vehicles and guests shall be allowed to park within a resident-only parking zone without regard to posted parking prohibitions provided that single day parking permission has been obtained as provided in s. 101-27-10. A vehicle license plate and an applicable address within the resident-only parking permit zone shall be recorded. Permission may be granted for the same license plate for not more than 3 days per month.
