The provisions of this chapter imposing a time
limit on parking shall not relieve any person of the duty to observe
other more restrictive provisions prohibiting or limiting the stopping,
standing or parking of vehicles as set forth in N.J.S.A. 39:4-138,
any other New Jersey statute or as hereinafter provided.
A.
Upon the declaration of an emergency, there shall
be no parking upon streets or sections of streets where temporary
emergency no-parking signs are displayed. The Chief of Police or,
in his absence, the ranking police officer is authorized to declare
an emergency and to direct the posting of emergency no-parking signs
when weather conditions, accidents, fires, public celebrations, etc.,
dictate or require the avoidance of hazards or other conditions which
interfere with the free flow of traffic. Notification that emergency
no-parking signs are being or will be posted shall be given to the
operator or owner of any vehicle which has been parked prior to the
posting of the signs.
B.
Any unoccupied vehicle parked or standing in violation
of this section shall be deemed a nuisance and a menace to the safe
and proper regulation of traffic, and any police officer may provide
for the removal of such vehicle. The owner shall pay the reasonable
costs of removal and storage which may result from such removal before
regaining possession of the vehicle.
C.
The effectiveness of this section is contingent upon
signs being erected as required by law.
No person shall park a vehicle at any time upon
any of the streets or parts thereof described in Schedule I attached
to and made a part of this chapter.
[Amended 12-12-2012 by Ord. No. 1673]
No person shall stop, stand or park a motor vehicle between
the hours of 2:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. unattended on a public highway/street
within the Borough or Borough-owned parking lots, except as hereinafter
provided:
A.
Short-term overnight parking permission.
(1)
The Glen Rock Police Department (GRPD) is empowered to grant temporary
emergency overnight parking permission due to an occasional guest,
disabled vehicle, driveway repair, home construction or a dumpster
being placed in a resident's driveway. Permission is granted one night
at a time by telephone to the GRPD nonemergency number (201) 652-3800
(Northwest Bergen Central Dispatch [NWBCD]); please listen for prompt.
Overnight parking requests are not accepted prior to 7:00 p.m. Operators
at NWBCD are prohibited from giving permission for more than five
consecutive nights and may not give permission for multiple nights
at a time.
(2)
For short-term overnight parking, the resident must provide the vehicle's
full license plate number, make, model, color, contact number for
owner and the exact location where the vehicle will be parked. The
vehicle must be otherwise legally parked.
(3)
All overnight parking permission is automatically rescinded during
any snowfall and 24 hours thereafter or during other declared states
of emergency.
B.
Long-term overnight parking permission.
(1)
If a resident requires permission for more than five nights, the
resident must appear, in person, at the GRPD Records Bureau to obtain
a long-term overnight parking permit.
(2)
Permits will only be issued when the Records Bureau is open to the
public. Permits may be issued for a period of up to 90 days.
(3)
No permission will be issued for longer than 90 days.
(4)
Upon approval of a resident's application, one parking place card
will be issued for each vehicle.
(5)
Parking permit restrictions:
(a)
Permit holder must be a Glen Rock resident; however, a nonresident
guest may use the permit.
(b)
Permits are only valid for the dates entered on the application.
(c)
Permits are valid on private passenger vehicles only. Commercial
vehicles, trailers and recreational vehicles are not eligible for
long-term overnight parking permission.
(d)
The vehicle must be registered, insured and display current
license plates (any state or country).
(e)
Vehicles must not be disabled or wrecked.
(f)
All vehicles must be legally parked. Vehicles will not be granted
permission to park in any "No Parking" zone, block fire hydrants or
crosswalks nor block any driveway other than the resident who has
applied for the permit.
(g)
All vehicles must be parked at the curbline in front of the
permit holder's residence. Corner properties may park on either street.
(h)
If circumstances do not permit parking in front of permit holder's
residence, as a courtesy, the applicant must notify the property owner
of the residence or business that the vehicle will be parked along
the front of the property. However, property owners do not have the
legal right to deny permission to park on any public street. The GRPD
will not make this notification.
(i)
A permit place card supplied by the GRPD must be displayed from
the rearview mirror of any vehicle parked overnight. Failure to do
so may result in a summons being issued.
(j)
Permits must be removed before vehicle is driven. Failure to
remove the permit will subject the violator to a summons for obstructed
view.
(k)
A refundable deposit of $5 is required for each permit issued.
This deposit will be refunded to the applicant when the permit is
returned to the GRPD Records Bureau Permits during those hours when
the Records Bureau is open to the public. No after-hours returns will
be accepted. Permits must be returned within five days of expiration.
(l)
Any permit not returned within 30 days will result in forfeiture
of deposit.
(m)
All overnight parking permission is automatically rescinded
during any snowfall and 24 hours thereafter or during other declared
states of emergency.
C.
Overnight parking in school or private parking lots. GRPD does not
have the authority to grant parking permission at local schools or
private property lots. Anyone wishing to park at these locations must
obtain written permission from the school principal (or his/her designee)
or the property owner in the case of a private parking lot.
