§ 6.07.060. Individual resident parking.

(a)

A residential parking permit issued under this section is not available to a resident of a residential permit parking district as designated in section 6.07.020.

(b)

The public works department, upon receipt of a written request for "resident parking only," will conduct a preliminary study to be completed within 30 days. A report of the findings, together with a recommendation, will be forwarded to the city manager within 60 days of receipt of the request.

(c)

If the request is granted, the applicant shall pay the cost of signing the area in the amount in accordance with a set list of fees approved by the city council and kept on file in the office of the city engineer. Senior citizen applicants, said persons being over 65 years of age, shall pay signage costs at a reduced rate. Said signage fee will be in effect for one year, or until such time as an examination of the condition of the sign determines replacement is necessary. If so, the costs of replacement will be borne by the applicant.

(d)

Disabled residents issued a parking permit or license plate by the Nevada State Department of Motor Vehicles and Public Safety pursuant to NRS 482.384 or NRS 482.377 will be given special considerations if existing off-street parking can not be accessed by the resident.

(e)

If two off-street parking spaces exist, such as garage space and/or driveway space long enough to accommodate a vehicle, no "resident parking only" spaces will be granted, unless otherwise provided in subsection (d).

(f)

If one off-street space or less is provided, "resident parking only" zones may be considered, if over a five-day period the public works department determines that a "resident parking only" zone is in the best interest of the area residents and fulfills the requirements of the other parameters of this section.

(g)

Controlled parking/access streets will not be considered for "resident parking only" zones.

(h)

The public works department will review existing and future "resident parking only" locations every five years, at which time a new engineering study will be performed to determine requisite compliance.

(i)

The public works department reserves the right to discontinue any and all "resident parking only" zone permits, if it is determined that any of the following conditions exist:

(1)

The applicant vacated the residence;

(2)

The zone no longer qualifies under any and all subsections (b) through (l);

(3)

The continued use of the zone is determined to be unsafe or the street classification changes by engineering study.

(j)

If the zone is discontinued, a financial reimbursement will be made by the city on a prorated basis. Discontinuance must be accompanied by a 30-day written notice by either party.

(k)

The city council may waive any or all of the signing fee for any applicant upon a finding of special circumstances.

(l)

A residential parking permit issued under this section shall be limited to single-family residences only, except permits approved by the city manager prior to date of adoption.
