1.
Findings and purpose. The Township finds that:
A.
Certain residential areas in the Township 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 Township considers it to be in the interest
of the people of the Township to provide for the establishment of
a residential permit parking program to ensure primary access to available
parking spaces by neighborhood residents and also to provide a cleaner
ambient air level.
2.
COMMUTER VEHICLE
PROPRIETOR
RESIDENT
RESIDENTIAL AREA
Definitions. For the purpose of this section, words and terms listed
in this subsection, as follows, shall have the following meanings:
A motor vehicle parked in a residential area by a person
not a resident of that residential area.
A person who owns or leases real estate within a residential
area of which he is not a resident, but who owns or manages a business
enterprise or professional office maintained at that address; for
the purpose of this section, a proprietor shall be entitled to one
parking permit for that business or professional office address.
A person who owns or leases real property within a residential
area and who maintains either a voting residence or bona fide occupancy,
or both, at that address.
A contiguous area containing public highways or parts of
public highways primarily abutted by residential property or residential
and nonbusiness property (such as schools, parks, places of worship,
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
parking on the basis of the following criteria:
A.
During any period between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 6:30 p.m., Monday
through Saturday, except legal holidays, the number of vehicles parked
(or standing), legally or illegally, on the streets in the area is
equal to 70% or more of the legal on-street parking capacity of the
area; for the purpose of this criterion, a legal parking space shall
be 20 linear feet.
B.
During the same period as specified in paragraph A, 10% or more of
the vehicles parked (or standing) on the streets in the area are not
registered in the name of a person residing in the area; for the purpose
of this criterion, the latest available information from the Pennsylvania
Department of Transportation regarding registration of motor vehicles
shall be used.
Provided that, in determining that a specific area identified
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 Township.
(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.
(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.
4.
Designation of residential permit parking areas. The following are
designated as residential permit parking areas:
Area
|
Bounded By and Including
| |
---|---|---|
(Reserved)
|
Signs shall be erected along the streets in each residential
permit parking area, indicating the days, hours, locations and conditions
under which parking shall be by permit only.
|
5.
Application for permit. Application for a residential parking permit
shall be made to the Chief of Police by the person desiring the permit,
who shall be only the owner or the driver of a motor vehicle who resides
on or is a proprietor of property immediately adjacent to a street
or other location within a residential parking permit area. A separate
application shall be required for each motor vehicle, and each application
shall be accompanied by a permit fee in an amount as established by
resolution of the Township, which shall be for the use of the Township,
to be applied to the cost of administering the residential permit
parking program. 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 address of the resident or the proprietor, as the case
may be; the make, model 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, the applicant shall
be required, at the time of making application, to present his driver's
license and the vehicle registration card.
6.
Issuance of permit. Upon receipt of the application and the permit
fee, and determination by him that the information upon the application
shows that the applicant is entitled to a residential parking permit,
the Chief of Police shall issue to the applicant a residential parking
permit, which shall be valid for the remainder of the calendar year.
The permit shall display the serial and registration numbers of the
motor vehicles, the residential parking area number and the expiration
date. The permit shall be renewable annually before the expiration
date, upon making application for renewal and payment of the permit
fee. It shall be unlawful and a violation of this section for any
person to display other than the current and valid permit while standing
or parking in a residential permit parking area at any time when those
permits are to be displayed.
7.
Temporary and exemption parking permits. Temporary parking permits
may be issued by the Chief of Police, upon payment of a fee in an
amount as established by resolution of the Board of Supervisors, 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 provision 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 in any designated residential
parking area during those times when parking of motor vehicles is
permitted in that area. While a vehicle for which a residential parking
permit has been issued is so parked, that permit shall be displayed
so as to be clearly visible through the windshield of the vehicle.
A residential parking permit shall not guarantee or reserve to the
holder a parking space within a designated residential permit 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 residential permit parking regulation or restriction.
C.
No person other than the permit holder whose name appears on the
permit shall use a residential parking permit or display it on a vehicle
operated; any such use or display by a person other than the permit
holder shall constitute a violation of this section by the permit
holder and by the person who so used or displayed the parking permit.
D.
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 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 the permit holder of the revocation, the permit holder shall surrender
the permit to the Chief of Police. 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 the Township for a hearing on the revocation, and
the decision of the Township shall be final.
