Obtaining an Overnight Parking Permit
Description
In certain parking districts, parking is prohibited between the hours of 2AM to 6AM nightly wherever signs are posted. However, residents can purchase permits to be exempt from the parking restrictions.
For Overnight Parking Districts, vehicles with disabled license plates or disabled placards issued by the DMV are exempt from parking restrictions but need to purchase permits for their guests and caretakers. Caretakers will be issued Visitor permits since their car is not registered to the address in the Overnight Parking District.
Persons with disabilities may designate in writing for someone to appear on their behalf to open accounts and to purchase permits, provided the following conditions are met, in addition to the standard requirements to establish proofs of residency and ownership of vehicles:
- Written designation must specify the resident's name, address, phone number, Overnight Parking District Number, and the name and driver's license of designee.
- Written designation must specify that the designee is necessary because the applicant is disabled; however, nature of disability is not required.
- Written designation must be signed by the resident.
- Copy of DMV issued Disabled Person Placard or DMV issued vehicle registration for the disabled person's license plate must be provided, along with written designation letter.
The following vehicles shall be exempt from parking restrictions established:
- A vehicle, identified as owned by or operated under contract to a utility, whether privately, municipally or publicly owned, when used in the construction, operation, removal, or repair of utility property or facilities or engaged in authorized work in the designated Overnight Parking District.
- A vehicle identified as owned by or operated under contract to a governmental agency, when used in the course of official governmental business.
Applicants for any Overnight Parking Permit are required to clear all unpaid parking citations prior to the issuance or renewal of a any permit.
