Special event and night rates apply Monday through Friday from 6:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. and all day Saturday and Sunday. The Director of Public Works shall fix the hours of operation for each facility in accordance with this section. In cases for which this section establishes a range of fees or rates, the Chief Administrative Officer is authorized to change such fees or rates in the Chief Administrative Officer's discretion within such range.
Sec. 27-245. Installation of meters; charges; manner of parking.
(a) The City may cause a parking meter to be installed adjacent to a parking space along a highway, street or City-operated off-street parking facility for the purpose of restricting and regulating the time in which and for which the operator or person having a vehicle or motorcycle under the operator's or person's control may use such space. The mandatory charge for using such on-street and off-street parking spaces shall be [$1.50] $2.00 per hour. To acquire the maximum amount of parking time available from a meter, the motorist or motorcycle operator shall deposit coins or otherwise make payment in accordance with this section. The deposit of coins other than the exact amount shall obtain periods of time equal to that which might be acquired by depositing the next lowest denomination of coins indicated on the parking meter rate plate.
(b) No person shall permit a vehicle under such person's control to be parked in any parking meter space during the restricted and regulated time applicable to the parking meter zone in which such meter is located while the parking meter for the space indicates by signal that the lawful parking time has expired. This shall not apply during the act of parking or the necessary time which is required to immediately thereafter deposit the prescribed coins in or otherwise make payment for such meter.
(c) A metered on-street parking space is the area parallel and adjacent to the curb between parking meter posts. Only one vehicle or motorcycle shall be placed in each on-street metered parking space. Each vehicle shall be parked so that it is an equal distance between parking meter posts, except for motorcycles which may park perpendicular to the curb or roadway edge between parking meter posts. When a rear parking meter post does not exist, the vehicle shall be parked so that the front of the vehicle is adjacent to the front meter post.
(d) A metered off-street parking space is a public parking area located off the street in either a surface lot or a parking structure or a building. Motorists shall deposit monetary coins in or otherwise make payment for the parking meter associated with the off-street space. Only one vehicle or motorcycle shall be parked in each off-street metered parking space. Vehicles shall be properly parked either perpendicular or parallel or in any other position so designated by regulatory traffic signage whether a parking meter exists or not.
(e) Operators of oversized vehicles, such as large commercial trucks, limousines, recreational vehicles, with or without other vehicles or trailers in tow, or standard vehicles, with other vehicles or trailers in tow, shall pay the parking meter fees for all metered parking spaces either fully or partially occupied by such vehicles.
(f) No person shall permit a vehicle or motorcycle under the person's control to be parked for a time period longer than that specified on regulatory traffic signs or parking meters without either:
(1) Moving the vehicle a minimum of 500 feet from the parking space originally occupied; or
(2) Vacating the original parking space for a minimum time period of ten minutes.
(g) This section shall not apply to drivers of commercial or delivery vehicles who use a parking meter space for the purpose of loading, unloading or making deliveries. However, such commercial or delivery vehicles shall not be parked for periods that exceed the maximum amount of parking time allowed for such parking meter space.
§ 2. This ordinance shall be in force and effect as of July 1, 2022.
