Thus, non-residents (business persons or consumers), would not be able to park in the permlt area durlng designated hours. A potential adverse effect of the parklng zone is that some eXlsting demand for non-resident parking will be displaced to other streets in the neighborhood. However, because of the small area involved with the zone, the effects are mlnlmal and would not substantlally effect existlng parklng facllities or demand for new parking. 19. Public Services f.
