[Added 11-2-2004 by Ord. No. 640]
A. 
Statutory authority. This section is enacted pursuant to an Act of Assembly October 5, 1979, P.L. 197, No. 66, 53 P.S. § 46202(46).[1]
[1]
Editor's Note: See now 8 Pa.C.S.A. § 1202(31); the reference is to the former Borough Code, which has been amended and repealed and its provisions moved to Part I of Title 8 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes.
B. 
Definitions; word usage. As used in this section, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated:
HANDICAPPED PARKING SIGN/SPACE
A parking area on the streets and highways of the Borough of Collingdale which is designated by the Borough Council of Collingdale by way of the erection of a sign issued by the Borough and/or the painting of a restricted parking area upon the street for the parking of one vehicle, which designated area shall be most expeditiously placed to permit access for the person with a disability to residential quarters. The designated space shall not, however, be construed as a private parking space reserved for the applicant. On the contrary, said space may and shall be legally occupied by any vehicle displaying a current handicapped registration.
ISSUING AUTHORITY
Collingdale Borough Council.
OWNER
Actual owner, agent or custodian of the property wherein a handicapped parking area will be designated.
PERSON WITH A DISABILITY
An individual who has applied for and been granted by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania a vehicle registration/license plate providing that person and/or vehicle with the right to occupy a parking space specifically reserved for persons with physical or mental disabilities.
C. 
Application procedure.
(1) 
At the request of any person with a disability, as defined above, the Borough Council may, upon motion made and seconded, authorize the designation on a street or highway within the Borough, as close as possible to the person with a disability's place of residence, of an area indicting that said place is reserved for a person with a disability and that no parking is allowed thereby other than a person with a disability.
(2) 
Any person requesting the reservation of a handicapped parking space because of a physical or mental disability shall make application therefore, in writing, to the Borough Manager which application shall set forth or be accompanied by:
(a) 
The name and address of the applicant.
(b) 
The type of physical or mental disability of the applicant.
(c) 
A current written medical report from a licensed physician certifying the specific disability of the applicant and the need for handicapped parking.
(d) 
A valid handicapped or severely disabled veteran's vehicle registration/license plate issued by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation. Placards without valid handicap registration or license plates will not be accepted.
(e) 
An application fee of $25 made payable to the "Borough of Collingdale."
(3) 
All applications shall be reviewed by the Public Safety Committee and the Collingdale Police Department for a recommendation to the Borough Council for approval or denial of the application. In addition to the criteria established elsewhere in this section, the said Public Safety Committee and the Collingdale Police Department may consider, in determining the granting or denial of the application, whether or not the applicant has sufficient off-street or other private parking available, thereby negating the necessity of an on-street, public parking space being allocated for this specific usage.
(4) 
Upon the approval of an application, a sign shall be erected and/or a space painted at or near the applicant's residence designating the handicapped parking only space.
(5) 
The Collingdale Police Department shall maintain a log of all existing handicapped parking signs at all times, and the Borough Manager shall maintain a log of all applications made, with the action taken upon the request.
(6) 
All approved applications shall be subject to review every two years from the date of issue by the Public Safety Committee. At the time of review, the applicant shall pay a renewal fee of $10, made payable to the Borough of Collingdale. This application fee shall apply to all approved applications, whether said approval was granted prior to or after the enactment of this section. In the event that said fee is not paid when addressed, then the issuing authority shall have the authority to revoke the designation of the handicapped-parking-only space.
(7) 
It shall be unlawful for any person or owner to erect a handicapped parking sign upon private grounds of the owner and/or upon the sidewalks of the Borough of Collingdale, designating a handicapped-parking-only space upon a street or highway of the Borough, without first making application for a handicapped parking area to the Borough Manager for the Borough of Collingdale.
(8) 
The Collingdale Code Enforcement Officer shall advise the Public Safety Committee of the sale of a property with a designated handicapped parking spot, at which time a determination will be made regarding removal of the handicapped parking sign and street markings.
D. 
Eligibility; updating of stipulations. Any stipulations made at the time of application regarding the eligibility of an applicant may be updated periodically at the request of the issuing authority.
E. 
Conflict of other provisions. Handicapped parking signs shall not supersede existing parking regulations, including, but not limited to, parking permits, street repair, street sweeping, snow ban or snow removal.
F. 
Signs to be Borough property. Handicapped parking signs will remain the property of the Borough of Collingdale.
G. 
Powers and duties of issuing authority.
(1) 
The issuing authority shall be notified immediately if an eligible person no longer qualifies for a handicapped parking sign under this section; for example, if an eligible person enjoys an improved health condition or is required to move from the premises wherein the sign is located.
(2) 
The Collingdale Borough Police will police and control areas governed by handicapped parking sign.
(3) 
The Collingdale Borough Council will take the following factors into consideration in the issuance of handicapped parking signs:
(a) 
Overall availability of parking in the area wherein a sign is requested.
(b) 
The living arrangements of an individual applicant herein; for example, a disabled person living alone and responsible for his or her own transportation.
(c) 
Existing parking or traffic problems in the area wherein a handicapped parking sign is requested.
(d) 
Recommendation of Collingdale Police Department and Public Safety Committee.
H. 
Removal of signs. The Collingdale Police Department reserves the right without Borough Council approval to have any handicapped parking sign or street markings removed at its discretion to ensure the public safety and welfare.
I. 
Inspection of signs. The Borough of Collingdale Highway Department will make an annual inspection of all existing handicapped parking signs and repair or replace those signs as needed.
J. 
Violations and penalties.
(1) 
A person owning a vehicle parked in a handicapped parking designated area without a handicapped plate properly displayed shall be guilty of a summary offense and shall be subject to a fine of $50.
(2) 
Any person designating a handicapped parking area without authority under this section shall be guilty of a summary offense and shall be subject to a fine of not less than $50 nor more than $100.
K. 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this section, Collingdale Borough shall have the authority, on its own, to designate certain spaces, either on street or in municipal parking lots, as restricted to handicapped parking and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this section, the owners of private property may set aside one or more parking spaces for the exclusive use of vehicles owned/operated by persons bearing the handicapped registration plate; however, Collingdale Borough and its Police Department shall have no enforcement powers as to handicapped parking spaces on private property unless such spaces have been designated as so reserved the same as on-street spaces which are the subject of this section.
A. 
Findings and purpose. The Borough finds that:
(1) 
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;
(2) 
Those residential streets are also subjected to a high degree of commuter traffic, which substantially reduces the quality of the ambient air level; and
(3) 
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 ensure primary access to available parking spaces by neighborhood residents and also to provide a cleaner ambient air level.
B. 
Definitions. For the purpose of this section, words and terms listed in this subsection shall have the following meanings:
COMMUTER VEHICLE
A motor vehicle parked in a residential area by a person not a resident of that residential area.
PROPRIETOR
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.

C. 
Criteria. The residential areas designated in Subsection D of this section are those deemed impacted and hence eligible for residential parking on the basis of the following criteria:
(1) 
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.
(2) 
During the same period as specified in Subsection C(1), directly above, 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 Bureau of Motor Vehicles and Licensing of the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation regarding registration of motor vehicles shall be used.
(a) 
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 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.
D. 
Designation of residential permit parking areas. The following are designated as residential permit parking areas:
Area
Bounded by and Including
(Reserved)
(1) 
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.
E. 
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. 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.
F. 
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 vehicle, 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 $10 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.
G. 
Temporary and exemption parking permits. Temporary parking permits may be issued by the Chief of Police, upon payment of a fee of $2, 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.
H. 
Responsibility of permit holder:
(1) 
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.
(2) 
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.
I. 
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 him 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 Borough Council for a hearing on the revocation; and the decision of the Borough Council shall be final.

The police officer or other person making the report shall also attach to or place upon every such vehicle a notice stating that the vehicle was parked in violation of this article. The notice shall contain instructions to that owner or driver of the vehicle to report to the Borough Hall Police Headquarters and pay the sum of $15 for motor vehicles or $25 in the case of violations pertaining to overnight truck and/or commercial vehicle parking within seven days after the time of the notice.
