Resolution approving rules for the operation of valet parking services on public right-of-way and the use of loading zones for valet parking purposes.
ANLS:
This resolution approves rules for the operation of valet parking services on public right-of-way and the use of loading zones for valet parking purposes. Compliance with these rules, which are referenced by s. 84-30-12, is required only for valet parking operators who are required by s. 84-30-3 to be licensed by the city (i.e., only those conducting their valet parking services on public right-of-way in the area bounded by Walnut, Pleasant, Water and Brady streets and Brady Street extended on the north, Lake Michigan on the east, the Milwaukee and Menomonee Rivers on the south and Interstate Highway 43 on the west).
BODY:
Whereas, Currently, a number of businesses in the city of Milwaukee offer valet parking services to their customers; and
Whereas, Such valet parking services often entail patrons leaving their vehicles with valet parking attendants on public right-of-way and later regaining possession of their vehicles in the same location on the public right-of-way; and
Whereas, The Common Council of the City of Milwaukee recognizes that the availability of valet parking services adds to the vitality of certain business establishments in the city, thereby contributing to the overall economic development of the community; and
Whereas, At the same time, the Common Council finds that it is necessary that the City regulate the use of public right-of-way for valet parking activities, since valet parking loading zones typically occupy useable on-street parking areas and may create traffic congestion and public safety problems; and
Whereas, To ensure that valet parking services which use public right-of-way are operated in a manner that protects the public health, safety and welfare, the City has enacted Common Council File Number 981587, an ordinance that creates a licensing requirement for valet parking operators and requires licensed valet parking operators to comply with Common Council-adopted rules for the operation of valet parking services on public right-of-way and the use of loading zones for valet parking purposes; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the rules set forth in Exhibit "A" of this resolution are approved; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the commissioner of public works, the chief of police and the city clerk are authorized and directed to use the adopted rules in administering and enforcing the valet parking operator licensing regulations of s. 84-30.
