as follows:
Section 3.08.070 Permits.
(a) Issuance and Fees. The Director of Finance shall issue permits
for preferential parking and collect all fees. No permit will be issued to any
applicant until that applicant has paid all of his or her outstanding parking
citations, including all civil penalties and related fees.
Applicants shall be required to present proof of residency in the
proposed permit zone. Each qualified applicant is entitled to purchase one
or more permits per year. The address of vehicle registration and driver's
1
license must coincide with the residence address of applicant.
Applicants requesting more than three permits for their dwelling unit
may be granted additional permits by the Parking and Traffic Engineer upon
showing that there are more than three vehicles registered at the dwelling
unit, and that sufficient off-street parking is not available to the applicant, and
that to deny additional permits would constitute a hardship.
Permit fees shall cover the cost of establishing and maintaining the
preferential parking district. These fees shall be set by City Council
Resolution at the time of parking district designation. As of July 1 of each
year, the fee shall be reduced by one half for each permit issued after that
date to be effective for the remainder of the year.
(b) Duration. Preferential parking permits issued pursuant to this
Section shall remain in effect for a period of one calendar year or fraction
thereof, or as long as the permit holder continues to reside in the dwelling
unit for which the permit was issued or until the preferential parking district
for which the permit was issued is eliminated, whichever period of time is
less.
(c) Visitor Permits. Any resident may purchase two visitor permits per
dwelling unit. Each permit shall have the address of the permit holder
imprinted.
(d) Guest Permits. Notwithstanding the restrictions in this Section
which limit the availability of permits to City residents, the owner or owner's
agent of a commercial property which is a City-designated historic landmark
2
and which provides overnight accommodations on residentially-zoned
property within a preferential parking zone, may obtain one guest permit for
preferential parking per guest unit. Such permits shall be in lieu of an
exemption of the property's frontage from preferential parking regulations.
(e) Availability of Parking. A preferential parking permit shall not
guarantee or reserve to the holder thereof an on-street parking space within
the designated preferential parking zone.
(f) Restrictions and Conditions. Each permit issued pursuant to this
Section shall be subject to each and every condition and restriction set forth
in this Chapter and as provided for the preferential parking zone for which it
was issued including conditions or restrictions which may be altered or
amended from time to time. The issuance of such permit shall not be
construed to be a permit for, or approval of, any violation of any provision of
this Code or any other law or regulation.
SECTION 2. Any provision of the Santa Monica Municipal Code or appendices
thereto inconsistent with the provisions of this Ordinance, to the extent of such
inconsistencies and no further, is hereby repealed or modified to that extent necessary to
effect the provisions of this Ordinance.
SECTION 3 If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase of this
Ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by a decision of any court
of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining
3
Approved and adopted this 8th day of July, 2003.
