Unmetered parking lots operated by the Borough of Elizabethtown may be established from time to time by resolution of Borough Council.
[Ord. 829, 11/15/2001]
Borough Council, at its discretion, may provide, at convenient and suitable locations in one or both of the unmetered parking lots, reserved parking spaces for handicapped, and shall designate those spaces by appropriate signs. It shall be unlawful, and a violation of this Part, for any person to park in any such reserved parking space, any vehicle unless that vehicle bears or displays either: a "handicapped registration plate," a "handicapped parking placard," a "disabled veteran registration plate," or a "disabled veteran placard"; provided, all provisions, requirements and restrictions contained in the other sections of this chapter shall apply to vehicles lawfully parked in reserved parking spaces for handicapped.
[Ord. 829, 11/15/2001]
It shall be unlawful for any person to park a vehicle, or to allow a vehicle to remain parked in any unmetered parking lot:
A. 
For longer than the maximum parking time prescribed by § 701 of this chapter; or
B. 
At any time when the lot is not in operation and is closed to public use.
[Ord. 829, 11/15/2001]
The unmetered parking lots established by § 701 of this chapter shall be for the use of passenger cars, passenger vans and pickup trucks only, and it shall be unlawful for any person to park any other kind or class of vehicle in any such lot.
[Ord. 829, 11/15/2001]
Every vehicle parked in an unmetered parking lot shall be parked wholly within the lines bounding or marking the individual parking space assigned to that vehicle, and shall be parked headed into the parking space. It shall be unlawful for any person:
A. 
To park a vehicle in a space not rented by him.
B. 
To park a vehicle otherwise than as required by this section.
C. 
To park a vehicle elsewhere than in an individual parking space, the prohibited areas including, but not limited to, the access and exit driveways and turning and maneuvering spaces.
[Ord. 829, 11/15/2001]
The parking spaces in the unmetered parking lots shall be available for parking on a monthly rental basis only. The rental fee shall be fixed by Borough Council from time to time and shall be for a calendar month or the part of a calendar month remaining after the rental arrangements are made. The rental fee shall be paid in advance to the Borough Secretary, for the use of the Borough of Elizabethtown, and after the first month shall be automatically renewable until the renter notifies the Borough of Elizabethtown that he wishes to terminate the rental arrangements. At any time, however, the Borough of Elizabethtown may, by amending § 701 of this chapter, discontinue provision of a specific unmetered parking lot or a portion of the parking spaces in any such lot, or may change any unmetered parking lot, or part of an unmetered parking lot, to a metered parking lot or to metered parking spaces. The rental parking spaces shall be assigned by the Borough Secretary. The name of the renter of a parking space and/or the numbers and/or letters on the registration tag of the vehicle entitled to be parked there shall be posted by the Borough of Elizabethtown at the rental space or shall be painted on the surface of that parking space.
