- Permit parking requests shall apply to residential areas only.
- Non-residential non-conforming businesses in the residential area petitioning for permit parking shall be included in any subsequent permit parking district
- Each non-residential non-conforming address shall count as one vote regardless of the number of signatures for that address.
- The area of consideration for permit parking must consist of at least one city block on at least one side of the street, except where a portion of the street is zoned non-residential, that portion shall not be included.
- The area of consideration for permit parking must be located in close proximity to a major commercial, industrial or school area where the City Commission determines that the spill-over parking is or may be detrimental to the neighborhood.
