10.15.010 Purpose.
(1) There exist certain entities within the city, such as a hospital, a high school and other entities, which construct and use large buildings or public facilities. These entities attract commuters seeking parking in nearby areas which are predominantly residential and business in nature. The increased demand often creates a severe shortage of street parking for residents and businesses in such areas.
(2) This chapter authorizes a program and implementing procedural system by which residents and businesses within qualifying areas may receive preferential treatment when competing with commuter vehicles for available on-street parking in predominantly residential neighborhoods of the city. The enactment of a preferential parking permit program administered by the city engineer and implemented and operated by the mayor or designee can address the adverse effect of motor vehicle congestion caused by the long-term parking of commuter vehicles within these areas by:
(a) Increasing access to residents and businesses;
(b) Increasing traffic/pedestrian safety by reducing traffic congestion;
(c) Reducing the adverse environmental impacts on an area created by excessive air and noise pollution and the accumulation of trash and refuse on public streets;
(d) Encouraging the use of mass transit, carpooling and other alternative modes of transportation by reducing commuter vehicle traffic that originates from outside the permit area and has no apparent relation to area residents and businesses;
(e) Promoting the tranquility, safety, health and welfare of area inhabitants, which are desirable attributes associated with a positive urban environment. [Ord. 09-09 § 1 (Exh. A). Code 1997 § 11-1-010.]

10.15.030 Area designation authority.
The city engineer may consider for designation as a city permit parking area any area which satisfies the threshold criteria established below. Where he deems it necessary and appropriate to accomplish the legislative intent and objectives, the city engineer may then designate by declaration any qualified area as an approved city permit parking area in which motor vehicles displaying a valid area parking permit may stand or be parked without limitations imposed on commuter vehicles by the parking regulations in the area. Such declaration shall also state the applicable parking regulations and the fees to be charged for permit issuance. [Ord. 09-09 § 1 (Exh. A). Code 1997 § 11-1-030.]
10.15.040 Area designation criteria.
(1) General Criteria. The city engineer is empowered by this chapter to review, approve, and designate parking areas within Riverton City for which a permit is required for operators of motor vehicles to park said vehicles on city streets. An area shall be deemed eligible for consideration as a city permit parking area if the city engineer determines, after evaluation of applicable surveys and traffic studies, that the qualified area is adversely affected by commuter vehicles for any extended period(s) during the day or night, on weekends or holidays.
(2) Specific Factors. In determining alleged adverse effects upon an area, the city engineer shall analyze and evaluate factors which include, but are not limited to, the following:
(a) The extent of the desire and perception of need by the residents for permit parking as evidenced by receipt of verified petitions or ballots as required herein;
(b) The extent to which legal on-street parking spaces are occupied by motor vehicles during any given time period; and
(c) The extent to which vehicles parking in the area during the period proposed for parking regulations are commuter vehicles rather than resident vehicles.
(3) Threshold Technical Criteria. The city engineer may, pursuant to the provisions hereunder, consider for designation as a city permit parking area an area whose streets (or portions thereof) qualify by satisfying the following eligibility criteria:
(a) Seventy percent or more of the parking capacity is repeatedly occupied for a significant period of a business day or weekend day;
(b) Such occupancy continues for any consecutive two-hour period and such occupancy rate occurs at least three days per week during weekdays at least six months per year. If the recommendation is for designation of a seasonal city permit area, the occupancy occurs over a period of more than two months and fewer than six months;
(c) Twenty-five percent of the vehicles occupying the on-street spaces are other than area vehicles;
(d) The area subject to review by the city engineer consists of curb space fronting a minimum of six standard block faces geographically located within the proposed permit area; and
(e) The city engineer finds the proposed permit area will not, to a significant extent, transfer the commuter vehicle parking problem to a different adjacent area should the area under consideration be designated permit parking. [Ord. 09-09 § 1 (Exh. A). Code 1997 § 11-1-040.]
10.15.050 Area designation process.
(1) Upon receipt of information that a permit parking program may be appropriate for an area within Riverton City, the city engineer shall, as soon as practicable and consistent with scheduling constraints, fix a time, date and location for a public hearing to consider whether to designate the proposed area of city permit parking area where curb parking is restricted or allowed by permit only. Said hearing shall also be conducted for comment and analysis to determine the boundaries as well as the appropriate area rules and regulations, parking restrictions, issuance of permits, fees and other pertinent matters.
(2) At least 10 days prior to the hearing date, written notice of the public hearing(s) provided for herein shall be: (a) published in a newspaper of general circulation, (b) posted not more than 400 feet apart along the streets proposed in the permit area, and (c) mailed to the listed residents, owners and those institutions known to the city to generate a significant volume of commuter parking in the neighborhood. The notice shall clearly state the purpose of the hearing, the location of the hearing, the proposed boundaries of the permit area, the proposed permit fee schedules and formulas for issuance, and the location where the city-generated documents in support of this evaluation process are on file and available for public review.
(3) Any interested party shall be entitled to appear and be heard on the proposal, subject only to reasonable rules of order that may be established by the city engineer. [Ord. 09-09 § 1 (Exh. A). Code 1997 § 11-1-050.]
10.15.060 Area designation city engineer actions.
(1) Within 30 days following the hearing, the city engineer shall deny or approve the designation of a city permit parking area as he deems justified under the objectives and procedures above. The city engineer shall reduce his decision to writing in the form of a report that shall be filed with the city recorder, which includes a description of the appropriate permit parking area, if one is found to meet the criteria described in this chapter. The report filed by the city engineer shall be made available to any interested party upon request.
(2) The city engineer’s report shall include:
(a) Significant subjects and concerns raised at the public hearing conducted;
(b) The findings relative to those designation criteria deemed applicable to the city permit area;
(c) Conclusions as to whether the findings, including testimony obtained at the public hearing, justify preferential permit parking for the area under consideration;
(d) The city engineer’s approval (or denial) of the proposed permit parking area, and, if approved:
(i) The proposed boundaries of the city parking permit area;
(ii) The proposed parking regulations, including administrative provisions for issuing permits; and
(iii) An implementation schedule indicating when the new permit parking area will become effective.
(3) If the city engineer approves creation of a city permit parking area, a declaration of designation shall be prepared as an administrative regulation establishing the program for the area, including the boundaries, parking regulations, fees, and other pertinent matters, for its administration and implementation. The declaration shall be mailed to each listed address in the area’s designated boundaries. The city shall promptly implement the program pursuant to the schedule. If the city engineer denies the creation of a city permit parking area, a notice of such denial shall be mailed to each listed address in the area’s designated boundaries.
(4) Information generated through the original designation process and the designation criteria set forth in this chapter shall also be utilized by the city engineer in determining whether to remove any particular existing city permit parking area or portion thereof from designated status and participation in the program.
(5) Action by the city engineer in creating, deleting or modifying the boundaries applicable in city parking permit areas under this chapter shall be final. However, the city council may agree to review and to modify such decision(s) by a vote of at least four of its members.
(6) The city engineer’s decision shall be stayed by the filing of a written objection requesting city council review, provided the objection is filed within 15 days of the filing of the report. The objection shall specify grounds upon which council review is justified. If accepted for review, the matter shall be scheduled for public hearing before the city council, with the mailing of 10 days’ written notice thereof to the appellant, petitioner of record and the city engineer. An objection failing to receive the necessary votes for review shall be deemed an affirmation of the city engineer’s decision.
(7) Actions by the city engineer as to the implementation and enforcement shall be considered administrative matters. [Ord. 09-09 § 1 (Exh. A). Code 1997 § 11-1-060.]

Each parking permit issued by the city shall be valid for one year or portion thereof to be determined by the city, excluding visitor permits. Permits shall not be transferable, but may be renewed annually upon reapplication in the manner required by the city. Each application or reapplication for a parking permit shall contain information sufficient to identify the applicant’s identity, claim for permit eligibility, authorized residence or business within the city permit parking area, the license number of the motor vehicle for which application is made, and such other information that may be deemed relevant by the city. Applications shall be accompanied by the fee established in the declaration referred to in RCC 10.15.060. [Ord. 09-09 § 1 (Exh. A). Code 1997 § 11-1-080.]

(1) Parking permits shall be issued by a designee of the mayor. Each such permit shall be designed to state or reflect thereon the particular city permit parking area. No more than one parking permit shall be issued for each motor vehicle included on the application. The number of permits available and the manner for allocating permits between various competing resident (as opposed to commuter) vehicles, and the manner in which the process will be administered for each designated area in the program, shall be established by the city engineer’s declaration of designation.
(2) The following classifications of persons or entities (listed in order of priority) may be issued parking permits for motor vehicles under their control upon request pursuant to the allocation basis set forth in said declaration:
(a) Area residents of the city permit parking area for motor vehicles owned or controlled and regularly parked in the area by household members.

Such conduct shall constitute an unlawful act and violation of this chapter, both by the person holding the valid parking permit and the person who so uses or displays the permit on a motor vehicle other than that for which it is issued. Such violation shall be punishable as an infraction.
(4) It is unlawful and a violation of this chapter for a person to copy, produce or otherwise bring into existence a facsimile or counterfeit parking permit in order to evade parking regulations applicable in a city permit parking area. Such violation shall constitute a class B misdemeanor. [Ord. 09-09 § 1 (Exh. A). Code 1997 § 11-1-180.]
