[Adopted 4-11-1977 by Ord. No. 673 (Ch. 118, Art. III, of the 1986 Code);
amended in its entirety 12-21-2023 by Ord. No. 1062[1]]
[1]
Editor's Note: This ordinance provided that changes to
the Borough's permitted parking system shall be effective 7-1-2024,
with the current Code permitted parking provisions remaining in effect
until such time.
As used in this article, the following terms shall have the
meanings indicated:
The appointed Manager of the Borough of Narberth or the Manager's
designee.
Areas of the Borough of Narberth separated for the purpose
of establishing permitted areas and the administration and enforcement
of the Borough's residential parking permit program. Neighborhoods
shall be determined based upon the location within the Borough and
shall be classified as either central, north, or south.
The streets, sides, blocks, and other similar locations throughout a neighborhood as identified in § 475-21 that provide for parking time limitations in such designated areas, excluding metered spaces.
A building or an individual residential dwelling within a building used for a residential use within the Borough of Narberth, including residential units within a one-family dwelling, a two-family dwelling, a multiple family dwelling, or the residential units within a mixed-use building type, as such terms are defined in Chapter 500, Zoning, of the Code of the Borough of Narberth.
A visitor, invitee, or guest of a residential occupant.
A domiciled occupant of a residential dwelling unit located
within a neighborhood. Commercial building owners, or persons occupying
or leasing a commercial building or portion of a building for commercial
purposes shall not be considered a residential occupant under this
article.
An operational motor vehicle primarily used for the transportation
of passenger(s) other than any bicycle or scooter that is not required
to be registered in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
A.
This article shall be administered by the Borough Manager, who shall
prepare and issue such application forms and permits as may be necessary
for the operation and enforcement of this article, and who shall keep
suitable records of permits issued and outstanding, and of fees paid.
B.
The application fees for a residential occupant or residential invitee
parking permit, if any, shall be payable to the Borough of Narberth
and shall be in amounts established by resolution of Borough Council,
as may be thereafter amended. The fee may provide for increasing permit
fees for each vehicle associated with the residential dwelling unit.
C.
Upon application to the Borough Manager, payment of the established
permit fee(s), and presentation of a current motor vehicle registration
card or other proof of current residency acceptable to the Borough
Manager, a residential occupant shall be allowed to receive a parking
permit allowing such residential occupant's vehicle(s) to park
in a permitted area located within the residential occupant's
neighborhood without regard to the established parking time limits
for the permitted area. Only vehicles that are used by a residential
occupant for their own personal transportation or use shall be eligible
for a parking permit.
D.
The address on the current motor vehicle registration card provided
to the Borough Manager to obtain a permit to park a vehicle in a permitted
area shall match the address provided by the residential occupant
on the permit application. If the addresses do not match, additional
information or documentation shall be provided to the Borough Manager
to satisfy the Borough Manager, in the Borough Manager's sole
discretion, that the applicant is and will be domiciled in a residential
dwelling unit for the applicable permit period. No permits shall be
issued for an unregistered, unlicensed, or inoperable vehicle.
E.
The maximum number of vehicles associated with a residential dwelling
unit that are allowed to receive a parking permit, and the time period(s)
the parking permit shall remain valid, shall be established by resolution
of Borough Council, as may be thereafter amended.
F.
Upon application to the Borough Manager and the payment of any applicable
fees, a residential occupant shall be allowed to receive one or more
permits allowing a residential invitee of the residential occupant
to park their vehicle(s) for a permitted duration of time to be established
by resolution of Borough Council, as may be thereafter amended, within
a permitted area in the residential occupant's neighborhood without
regard to the established parking time limits for the permitted area.
Only vehicles that are used by a residential invitee for their own
personal transportation or use shall be eligible for a parking permit.
G.
Except for permits specified for short-term residential invitee parking
that may be utilized by different guests of a residential occupant
(that is, by hangtag, placard or other transferable item), a permit
shall otherwise be valid only for the vehicle and license plate originally
associated with the permit and shall be nontransferable either from
person to person or from vehicle to vehicle. A replacement permit
must be obtained from the Borough if a residential occupant or residential
invitee changes a vehicle or license plate that was previously permitted.
Additional permits must be obtained if a residential occupant increases
the number of vehicles desired to park in a permitted area. Permit
fees are nonrefundable.
H.
A residential invitee permit shall not be required for any business,
contractor, or other similar persons parking a conspicuous vehicle
or oversized vehicle for the purpose of actively rendering services
to owners or occupants of buildings, structures, and properties within
the Borough.
A.
Neighborhoods are hereby established within the Borough of Narberth
for the purpose of establishing and administering permitted parking
areas throughout the Borough. A residential occupant or residential
invitee shall only be allowed to receive a parking permit to park
a vehicle within a permitted area located within the residential occupant's
neighborhood without regard to the established parking time limits
for the permitted area. A map depicting the neighborhoods shall be
approved by resolution of Borough Council and shall be maintained
by the Borough for public inspection. Amendments to the neighborhood
map that do not result in conflicts or inconsistencies with this chapter
may be made through a resolution of Borough Council.
B.
Two-hour parking. Two-hour parking limits are hereby established
upon and along portions of certain streets in the Borough of Narberth
in the permitted areas as set forth in the table below. It shall be
unlawful, and a violation of this article, for any vehicle to remain
parked on the same block for more than two hours without possessing
a valid permit from the Borough to park in such permitted area during
the enforcement period times established below:

A.
Unless otherwise specified herein, it shall be unlawful, and a violation of this article, for any vehicle to park in any permitted area in excess of the applicable parking time limitations established under this article without possessing a valid permit from the Borough to park in such permitted area. Each hour that the vehicle remains parked in a permitted area in excess of the permitted parking time limitation without possessing a valid permit for such permitted area shall be considered a separate violation of this article and shall be subject to the fines and penalties as set forth in § 475-25B below.
B.
It shall be unlawful, and a violation of this article, for any vehicle
to remain in any permitted area in excess of the applicable parking
time limitations established under this article after a previously
valid permit to park in such permitted area has expired.
C.
An electric vehicle shall be permitted to park in a permitted area in excess of the permitted parking time limitation without possessing a valid permit for such permitted area when the electric vehicle is occupying an electric vehicle charging station parking space and is connected to an electric charging station for the purpose of charging the electric vehicle in accordance with the provisions of § 475-33 below.
D.
All vehicles receiving any permit to park in a permitted area must
have a valid motor vehicle license plate that is clearly visible and
readable from the exterior of the vehicle. In addition to any other
applicable violations of commonwealth law, it shall be unlawful, and
a violation of this article, for any vehicle to park in a permitted
area in excess of the parking time limitation established under this
article without a valid motor vehicle license plate clearly visible
and readable from the exterior of the vehicle, even if the vehicle
has a permit to park in such permitted area.
It shall be the duty of the police officers and parking enforcement
officers of the Borough of Narberth to enforce all violations of any
provision of this article, indicating in each issued ticket or notice
of violation:
A.
An identification of the permitted area where the violation occurred;
B.
The state license number of such vehicle in violation of this article;
C.
The date and hour of the violation and, if known, the length of time
during which such vehicle is parked in violation; and
D.
Any other facts, a knowledge of which is necessary for a thorough
understanding of the circumstances attending such violation.
A.
Any person or entity violating the provisions of this article, or
aiding, abetting or assisting in the violation of this article, shall
receive a parking citation in the amount of $20 for the offense unless
a different specific fine amount is otherwise provided herein. Each
police officer or the parking enforcement officer shall place on a
vehicle in violation of this article a notice to the owner thereof
that such vehicle has been parked in violation of the provisions of
this article and instructing such owner as to provisions for payment
of such violation(s) or penalties for failure to pay such violation(s).
Each such owner may, within 10 days of when such notice was attached
to such vehicle, pay the citation amount(s) at the Borough office
or in a designated payment box, as provided on the parking citation(s),
as a penalty for and in full satisfaction of such violation(s).
B.
If any vehicle without a valid permit remains parked in a permitted
area in excess of the parking time limit established under this article,
or if any vehicle remains parked in a permitted area beyond the maximum
time permitted by a permit, such vehicle shall be subject to a $20
fine and penalties after the vehicle exceeds its permitted occupancy
of the permitted area and for every day thereafter.
C.
The failure of a vehicle owner to make payment as designated on any
of the parking citations issued within the ten-day period shall render
such owner subject to additional court costs and fees associated with
the filing and prosecution of the violation. After such ten-day period,
such owner shall, upon conviction, be sentenced to pay a fine of $20
for each offense (or the applicable, cited fine for a separate offense),
and all costs related thereto.
D.
In addition to any applicable civil or criminal penalties set forth
under the law or within this article, it shall be unlawful for any
person to intentionally misrepresent their or another person's
address or residency on a parking permit application or to assist
with the issuance of a parking permit by intentionally misrepresenting
that a person is their residential invitee during a period when such
person is not their visitor, invitee, or guest. Such misrepresentation
on a permit application shall result in a $500 fine and all costs
related thereto. Further, upon conviction, any such persons involved
in the misrepresentation, and those residing in the same residential
dwelling unit of such person, shall be excluded from receiving future
parking permits for vehicles owned, used or controlled by them.
