[R.O. 2011 § 350.420; Ord. No. 10-23 § 1, 2-19-2010; Ord. No. 11-163 § 1, 8-17-2011]
A.
Pursuant to the provisions of this Section, valet parking zones shall be established on such public streets and in such places and in such number as shall be determined by the City Council to be in the best interest of the City, its citizens and visitors in order to provide convenient parking near the point of destination in those portions of the City designated as business districts by Chapter 400, Zoning Code.
B.
A valet parking zone shall be created only
upon the written request submitted to the Department of Community
Development by the owner or occupant of the property adjacent to the
site of the proposed valet parking zone and the subsequent approval
by the City Council of a permit therefor setting forth the terms of
the operation of the valet parking zone, which terms shall include,
but may not be limited to, those set forth in this Section. Each request
shall be accompanied by an application form provided by the Department
of Community Development and shall include the location of the proposed
valet parking zone, a written plan of operations, the location where
vehicles will be parked, proof of lawful right to park vehicles, and
such other information as may be requested by the City. Each such
request must be accompanied by a non-refundable initial permit application
fee of three hundred dollars ($300.00). Each such permit shall obligate
the holder thereof (the "permittee") to operate the valet parking
zone and perform all of the obligations, duties and responsibilities
set forth in the permit and in this Section. All such permits issued
shall thereafter be subject to renewal by the City Council as of April
1 of every calendar year. In determining whether to renew a permit,
the City Council shall consider the manner in which the valet parking
zone has been operated, the degree to which the applicant has complied
with the requirements set forth in this Section and the permit and
the best interests of the City and its citizens and visitors.
C.
Valet parking zones shall be established only in those areas designated as "business districts" pursuant to Chapter 400, Zoning Code, of the Code of Ordinances of the City. Valet parking zones shall be established only on public streets and the adjacent sidewalks, and shall be adjacent to the property to be served by the valet parking zone as specified in the permit to be issued pursuant to Subsection (B) above. The City shall determine the location and length of all valet parking zones based on factors including, but not limited to, traffic flow, pedestrian safety and impact on the overall streetscape. The valet parking zone shall not extend more than eight (8) feet into the street from the curb and there shall be no obstruction of fire hydrants, pedestrian crosswalk or a accessible corner cut. All stanchions, ropes or other objects delineating the valet parking area shall be temporary and removed immediately when valet parking hours end.
D.
The City shall provide appropriate signage,
at its cost, prohibiting parking in valet parking zones between 5:30
P.M. and 11:30 P.M. and designating such zones "No Parking, Valet
Only, Tow Away Zone" or "No Parking, Loading and Valet Only, Tow Away
Zone."
E.
The permittee shall remove all vehicles
to be parked by valets from the valet parking zone and from any other
portion of a public right-of-way as quickly as possible and in any
case within ten (10) minutes. Vehicles so removed shall not be parked
in public streets, alleys or publicly owned surface parking lots.
F.
The permittee, at its own expense and cost,
shall keep the valet parking zone, including the sidewalk frontage
and curb and gutter immediately adjacent to it, in a neat, orderly
and clean appearance and condition, free from debris, nuisance and
filth and provide for the removal of snow, ice, trash and waste therefrom.
G.
The permittee shall operate the valet parking
zone, or cause the same to be operated, in accordance with all requirements
of this Section. In the event that the permittee retains the services
of a valet parking company, the permittee shall provide written notice
of the name of the company to the Director of Community Development
and to the Chief of Police.
H.
The City may, at any time, require the
removal or suspension of valet parking areas when street, sidewalk
or utility repairs necessitate such action, or in an emergency situation
or for safety considerations, without notice. The City, its officers
and employees shall not be responsible for any valet parking fixtures
relocated during an emergency.
I.
The permittee shall provide and maintain,
at its own expense and cost, general liability insurance in full force
and effect for the valet parking zones, in standard form generally
in use in the State of Missouri with insurance companies having a
current "best" rating of not less than A and a financial rating not
less than Class VII and authorized to do business in the State of
Missouri in the amount of five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000.00)
for any accident or occurrence resulting in bodily injury to or death
of one (1) person and an amount of at least one million five hundred
thousand dollars ($1,500,000.00) for any accident or occurrence resulting
in bodily injury to or the death of more than one (1) person and comprehensive
property damage insurance covering liability for damage to all property
from any accident or occurrence in an amount of not less than two
hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000.00). Executed copies of said
policies of insurance or certificates thereof shall be delivered to
the Director of Community Development within thirty (30) days of the
date on which the City Council authorizes the issuance of the permit.
No permit shall be issued unless and until the policy or policies
or certificate(s) have been delivered to the Director of Community
Development. Not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration
of the term of each such policy, a renewal or replacement insurance
policy or certificate thereof shall be delivered to the Director of
Community Development; failure of the permittee to comply with the
requirements of this Subsection shall be grounds for immediate termination
of the permit notwithstanding any other provision of this Section
or the permit. All said policies of insurance delivered to the City
must contain a provision that the company writing said policy will
give the City twenty (20) days' notice in writing in advance of any
cancellation, lapse or reduction in the amount of insurance. All of
said policies of insurance must contain a provision naming the City,
its agents, employees, guests and invitees as an additional insured.
J.
Any person who shall violate any provision of this Section, or any person who shall take part in or assist in the violation of this Section, shall be guilty of an ordinance violation punishable by a fine of not less than twenty-five dollars ($25.00) and not more than five hundred dollars ($500.00) for each violation. Any vehicle parked in violation of Subsection (D) hereof may be subject to being towed.
