which ordinance prohibits parking only on the interior part of the
circle; parking is allowed on the exterior part of the circle.
[Ord. 2036, 2/12/2007]
1.
No person shall park or leave unattended a vehicle on private property
without the consent of the owner or other person in control or possession
of the property, except in the case of emergency or disablement of
the vehicle, in which case the operator shall arrange for the removal
of the vehicle as soon as possible and in addition shall notify the

the conditions causing the emergency or disablement.
2.
The owner or other person in charge or possession of any property
on which a vehicle is parked or left unattended in violation of the
provisions of this section may have the vehicle removed by a licensed
towing service at the reasonable expense of the owner of the vehicle.
Such person who removes a vehicle left parked or unattended in violation
of the provisions of this section shall have a lien against the owner
of the vehicle, in the amount of the reasonable value of the costs
of removing the vehicle.
3.
The provisions of this section shall not apply to private parking
lots unless such lots are posted to notify the public of any parking

§ 1; and by Ord. 2047, 12/10/2007[1]]
1.
Purpose and Findings. The primary purpose of residential permit parking
is to make every reasonable effort to accommodate residents living
in areas of the Borough that have a mix of business, office and residential
uses which would ordinarily result in parking restrictions that would
not occur in a predominantly residential area. These restrictions
include time limits and other regulations during the hours when businesses
are normally open in the areas of the "Downtown" (center of town)
where many business and other nonresidential uses are located. The
Borough further finds that:
A.
Certain residential areas in the Borough are subjected to commuter
vehicle parking, therefore depriving the residents of those areas
of spaces in which to park their own vehicles.
B.
Those residential streets are also subjected to a high degree of
commuter traffic, which substantially reduces the quality of the ambient
air level.
C.
The establishment of a parking permit program for certain affected
areas should facilitate efficient movement of traffic by providing
for parking preference during certain hours of the day and days of
the week. Therefore, the Borough considers it to be in the interest
of the people of the Borough to provide for the establishment of a
residential permit parking program to insure primary access to available
parking spaces by neighborhood residents and also to provide a cleaner
ambient air level.
D.
Certain older residential areas in the Borough have no parking available
except on Borough-owned property. The Borough desires to attempt to
provide some limited accommodation for those persons residing in the
immediate vicinity of the Borough-owned property who have no available
parking area.
[Added by Ord. 2140, 9/14/2015]
E.
Certain residential areas in the Borough near the Hill School's athletic
fields are negatively impacted by the parking of patron vehicles for
events on those athletic fields. In order to provide some relief to
the affected residents during these events, parking will be restricted
to the residents and invited guests on certain designated streets.

to a limited number of parking spaces for that business, professional
office, religious facility, or nonprofit agency.
A person who owns or leases real property within a residential
permit area and who maintains either a voting residence or a bona
fide occupancy, or both, at that address.

hospitals and nursing homes).
3.
Criteria. The residential areas designated in Subsection 4 of this section are those deemed impacted and hence eligible for residential permit on the basis of the following criteria:
A.
During any period between the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., Monday
through Saturday, except legal holidays, due to the mix of residential
and nonresidential uses, there are a significant number of vehicles
that utilize the on-street parking capacity of that area. For the
purpose of this criteria, a legal parking space shall be defined as
20 linear feet.
B.
During the same period as specified in Subsection 3A, directly above, there are significant identifiable vehicles parked (or standing) on the street in the area that are not registered in the name of a person residing in the area.
Provided: in determining that a specific area identifiable as
impacted and eligible for residential permit parking is designated
as a residential permit parking area, the following factors are taken
into consideration:
|
(1)
The local and metropolitan needs with respect to clean air and
environment;
(2)
The possibility of a reduction in total vehicle miles driven
in the Borough;
(3)
The likelihood of alleviating traffic congestion, illegal parking
and related health and safety hazards;
(4)
The proximity of public transportation to the residential area;
(5)
The desire and need of the residents for residential permit
parking and their willingness to bear the administrative costs in
connection with it; and
(6)
The need for parking in excess of the residential permit parking
program in proximity to establishments located in the residential
permit parking area and used by the general public for religious,
health or educational purposes.

Application for Permit. Application for a residential parking permit
shall be made to the Chief of Police or his designee by the person
desiring the permit, who shall be only the owner or driver of a motor
vehicle who is defined as a proprietor or resident and is able to
demonstrate no use or availability of any off-street parking space
for the vehicle to be permitted. A separate application shall be required
for each motor vehicle, and each application shall be accompanied
by a permit fee, set pursuant to a resolution of Borough Council.
Each application shall contain the following information: the name
of the owner or the driver, as the case may be, of the motor vehicle;
the name of the business office or nonprofit, as the case may be;
the address of the resident or the proprietor, as the case may be;
the make, model, color and registration number of the motor vehicle;
and the driver number as taken from the applicant's current driver's
license. At the discretion of the Chief of Police or his designee,
the applicant shall be required, at the time of making application,
to present his driver's license and vehicle registration card. The
Pottstown Police Department, in conjunction with the Borough Manager,
or their authorized agent or expressly authorized designee, are hereby
empowered to establish rules and regulations to effectuate the provisions
of this residential permit parking section.
[Amended by Ord. 2061, 4/13/2009, § 3]
6.
Issuance of Permit. Upon receipt of the application and permit fee,
if any, and determination by the Pottstown Borough Police Department
that the information upon the application shows that the applicant
is entitled to a residential parking permit, the Borough shall issue
to the applicant the applicable residential parking permit, which
shall be valid for the appropriate applicable time period. The permit
shall display the permit number, the license number(s) of the permitted
vehicle(s) printed on it, as well as the expiration date and the renewal
date. The permittee shall have the right to park the permitted vehicle
on any public street, in any legal parking space, within the appropriate
designated parking category and parking zone where the residential
parking restrictions exist.
7.
Temporary and Exempt Parking Permits. Temporary parking permits may
be issued by the Borough for up to seven days (168 hours in duration),
upon payment of a fee established pursuant to a resolution, to bona
fide visitors of residents of a designated residential permit parking
area; and exemption parking permits may be issued without payment
of a fee to handicapped persons.
8.
Responsibility of Permit Holder.
A.
Notwithstanding any provisions of this section to the contrary, the
holder of a residential parking permit shall be permitted to stand
or park a motor vehicle operated by him/her in the designated residential
permit parking area during those times when parking of a motor vehicle
is permitted in that area. While a vehicle for which a residential
parking permit has been issued is so parked, that permit is required
to be displayed, hanging from the front inside rear-view mirror only,
with the vehicle license numbers facing outward. Any vehicle having
a mirror which cannot hold a permit must have velcro used to attach
the permit to the back of the mirror (providing velcro is the vehicle
owner's responsibility). If the vehicle has no inside rear-view mirror,
the vehicle owner is responsible to improvise such that the permit
hangs near the center of the windshield. A residential parking permit
shall not guarantee or reserve to the holder a parking space within
a designated residential parking area.
B.
A residential parking permit shall not authorize its holder to stand
or park a motor vehicle in any place where or at any time when stopping,
standing or parking of motor vehicles is prohibited or set aside for
other specified types of vehicles, nor shall the permit exempt its
holder from the observance of any traffic or parking regulation other
than a residential permit parking regulation or restriction in the
appropriate designated residential parking area.
C.
No person other than the permit holder whose vehicle license plate
number(s) appears on the permit shall use a residential parking permit
or display it on any other vehicle operated. Any such use or display
by a person other than the permit holder, for the vehicle issued,
shall constitute a violation of this section by the permit holder
and by the person who so used or displayed the parking permit.
D.
As a condition of the permit, the permit holder understands that
any vehicle parked outside its assigned zone and displaying the wrong
color permit is in violation of this section. Any permitted vehicle
parked for more than three hours without displaying the proper permit
is also in violation. Any permitted vehicle parked in an alternative
location, without displaying the proper permit, is in violation. Any
vehicle parked in the wrong area of an alternate location is in violation.
Any permitted vehicle not displaying the proper permit is in violation.
Any permitted vehicle not displaying the proper permit hanging from
the rear-view mirror (or center of the windshield) is in violation.
E.
It shall constitute a violation of this section for any person falsely
to represent himself as eligible for a residential parking permit
or to furnish false information in an application to the Chief of
Police in order to obtain a residential parking permit.
9.
Revocation of Permits. The Chief of Police or his designee shall
have authority to revoke the residential parking permit of any permit
holder found to be in violation of any provision of this section.
Upon written notification to him of the revocation, the permit holder
shall surrender the permit to the Chief of Police or his designee.
Failure to do so, when so requested, shall constitute a violation
of this section, provided that any person receiving such a notice
may, within 10 days after the date of the notice, appeal to Borough
Council for a hearing on the revocation, and the decision of Borough
Council shall be final.
10.
Permit Application Fees Established.
A.
There are hereby established the following residential permit parking
application fees, under which the residential permit parking area
shall be divided into two zones: the PDIDA District Zone and Outside
the PDIDA District Zone. The PDIDA District consists of High Street,
from York Street to South Evans Street, Hanover Street, from High
Street to King Street, and Charlotte Street, from Queen Street to
King Street. The specific areas are designated by the PDIDA map, which
is incorporated herein. Each zone is further divided into two categories,
as follows: Category 1, business or office; and Category 2, resident
or nonprofit.
(1)
Within the PDIDA District, business or office permits shall
only be available and utilized to allow monthly parking in a municipal
lot at the municipal parking lot rate. For residents or nonprofits
in the PDIDA District, a maximum of two permits per resident or nonprofit
can be issued at the following rates:
(a)
First permit: $1.50 per week ($78 per year).
(b)
Second permit: $4 per week ($208 per year), or each resident
or nonprofit can share one permit between a maximum of two vehicles,
