    For the purposes of this chapter, the term "resident" shall be deemed to mean a person who customarily resides and maintains a place of abode within the permit parking district, exclusive of University of Nevada-Reno property within (i) a single-family dwelling having an address on a public street within an existing residential parking permit area, (ii) where lawful, a two-family dwelling having an address on a public street within an existing residential parking permit area, and (iii) a multi-family dwelling (a structure arranged or designed to be occupied by three or more families) having an address on a public street within an existing residential parking permit area, but only if, in the determination of the city's traffic engineer, such multifamily dwelling does not have sufficient off street parking spaces to meet the city's minimum off street parking requirements for new construction. A rental unit without a full kitchen, such as a room and bath, shall not qualify as an individual dwelling unit for purposes of determining whether a dwelling is a single-, two- or multi-family dwelling.

    For purposes of this chapter, the term "visitor" shall mean a person who, for a short period of time visits a resident within the parking permit district and who solely by reason of that visit needs a temporary place to park (including, without limitation a person who is employed and actually at work within such household). The term visitor does not mean or include a person who meets the definition of a resident as defined in this section. A visitor may not use or attempt to use a visitor permit to park in a residential parking permit district while he or she attends school, college classes or work in or near such zone.
