2.64.010.Purpose.
A. There exist certain entities within the city, such as
hospital and university complexes and other large buildings,
which attract commuters seeking parking in nearby areas which are
predominantly residential and business in nature. The increased
demand often exacerbates the severe shortage of street parking
for residents and businesses in such areas.
B. This Chapter authorizes a program and implementing
procedural system by which residents and businesses within
qualifying areas may receive preferential treatment when
competing with commuter vehicles for available on -street parking
in predominantly residential neighborhoods of the city. The
enactment of a preferential parking permit program, administered
by the public services director and implemented and operated by
the city transportation engineer, can address the adverse effect
of motor vehicle congestion caused by the long-term parking of
commuter vehicles within these areas by:
1. Increasing access to residents and businesses;
2. Increasing traffic/pedestrian safety by reducing traffic
congestion;
2
3. Reducing the adverse environmental impacts on an area
created by excessive air and noise pollution and the accumulation
of trash and refuse on public streets;
4. Encouraging the use of mass transit, car pooling and
other alternative modes of transportation by reducing commuter
vehicle traffic that originates from outside the permit area and
has no apparent relation to area residents and businesses;
5. Promoting the tranquillity, safety, health and welfare of
area inhabitants, which are desirable attributes that are
associated with a positive urban environment.

12.64.030. Area designation - Authority.
The public services director may, upon recommendation of
the transportation engineer, and pursuant to the provisions
hereunder, consider for designation as a city permit parking area
any area which satisfies the threshold criteria established
below. Where he deems it necessary and appropriate to accomplish
the legislative intent and objectives, the public services
director may then designate by declaration any qualified area as
an approved city permit parking area in which motor vehicles
displaying a valid area parking permit may stand or be parked
without limitations imposed on commuter vehicles by the parking
regulations in the area. Such declaration shall also state the
applicable parking regulations and the fees to be charged for
permit issuance.
8
12.64.040. Area designation - Criteria.
A. General Criteria. An area shall be deemed eligible for
consideration as a city permit parking area if the public
services director determines, after evaluation of the surveys and
traffic studies prepared at the direction of the transportation
engineer, that the qualified area is adversely affected by
commuter vehicles for any extended period(s) during the day or
night, on weekends or holidays.
B. Specific Factors. In determining alleged adverse affects
upon an area, the public services director shall analyze and
evaluate factors which include, but are not limited to, the
following:
1. The extent of the desire and perception of need by the
residents for permit parking as evidenced by receipt of verified
petitions and ballots as required herein;
2. The extent to which legal on -street parking spaces are
occupied by motor vehicles during any given time period; and
3. The extent to which vehicles parking in the area during
the period proposed for parking regulations are commuter vehicles
rather than resident vehicles.
C. Threshold Technical Criteria. The public services
director may, upon recommendation of the city transportation
9
engineer, and pursuant to the provisions hereunder, consider for
designation as a city permit parking area, an area whose streets
(or portions thereof) qualify by satisfying the following
eligibility criteria:
1. Seventy percent (70%) or more of the parking capacity is
generally occupied;
2. Such occupancy continues for any consecutive four-hour
period and such occupancy rate occurs at least four (4) days per
week during at least a nine (9) month period per year. If the
recommendation is for designation of a seasonal city permit area,
the occupancy occurs over a period of more than two months and
fewer than nine months;
3. Twenty-five percent (25%) of the vehicles occupying the
on -street spaces are other than area vehicles.
4. The requesting area consists of curb space fronting a
minimum of eight (8) standard blockfaces geographically located
within the proposed permit area; and
5. The transportation engineer agrees that implementing
the proposed permit area will not, to a significant extent,
transfer the commuter vehicle parking problem to a different
adjacent area should the area under consideration be designated
permit parking.
10
12.64.050. Area designation - Process.
A. Persons desiring to have their area designated permit
parking shall consult with the transportation engineer or his
designee, the permit parking coordinator, to tentatively
establish the boundaries of the area proposed for designation.
B. Upon receipt of a petition containing the signatures of a
minimum of twenty-five percent(25%) of residents and/or
businesses within the area boundary proposed for permit parking
designation, the transportation engineer shall cause a parking
study, or other surveys as may be deemed necessary, to be
undertaken as soon as is practicable consistent with scheduling
constraints, in order to determine if the proposed area satisfies
the eligibility requirements as set forth in Section 12.64.040
above, or its successor. Should the studies reflect that other
nearby area streets are similarly congested with curb parking,
the transportation engineer may require such streets (or portions
thereof) to be added to the proposed permit parking area.
C. Upon certification by the transportation engineer that
the general and technical threshold criteria set forth in Section
12.64.040 appear satisfied for a proposed area, the petitioners
11
shall be notified that they shall have fifteen (15) days from
such notice, to (1) submit a listing of all addresses within the
certified area from the most current Polk or Coles city
directories and (2) submit a listing from the Salt Lake County
Assessor's office of each separate tax parcel/property owner of
record thereon within the certified area. In the interim, a
ballot shall be prepared by the permit parking coordinator for
the purpose of determining whether or not the transportation
engineer should favorably recommend to the public services
director that the proposed area be created. The ballot form
shall indicate two choices, a "yes" (in favor of) choice or a
"no" (not in favor of) choice for area permit parking
designation. In addition a section allowing for "comments" shall
be on the ballot.
Upon receipt of the area address and tax parcel listings,
the transportation engineer shall direct the permit parking
coordinator, consistent with scheduling constraints, to mail the
ballot to all addresses and property owners of record within the
area proposed for designation. The mass mail shall contain the
following:
12
1. The proposal to create a city permit area and the
listing of streets (or portions thereof) included within the
proposed boundary.
2. An information sheet generically describing the city's
permit parking program, and including options related to on -
street parking restrictions within a permit area, issuance of
vehicle permits, and area program fees. The recommendation shall
be available for public inspection at the division of
transportation office.
3. The official ballot form as prescribed above.
D. For the purpose of counting residents and businesses
within the proposed permit parking area, each authorized address
shall be given one count. For the purpose of counting owners,
each separated tax parcel shall receive an additional count,
regardless of whether its owner(s) is a resident or a business.
For the purpose of counting petition signatures/ballot votes,
only one signature/vote per authorized address shall be counted
toward the minimum petition/ballot requirements. Owners may
sign/vote for any vacant parcel addresses, but may not sign/vote
for occupied addresses. In the case of condominium or other
hybrid -ownership projects, one count shall be given the owner and
one count for a non -owner occupying the unit and one count and
13
vote shall be given to the ownership association for the
condominium complex; vacant units shall be treated as vacant
rentals above.
E. A thirty (30) day time period, commencing on the date of
the mass mailing, shall be allowed for the purpose of voting.
After indicating their preference on the ballot, residents and
businesses shall return their ballot, on or prior to , the cut-
off date (printed on the ballot) to the transportation engineer.
To determine consensus as to whether or not area residents and
area businesses are in favor of proceeding on to the next phase
in the area designation process related to establishing the
proposed permit parking area, the following criteria shall apply:
Fifty-one (51%) or more of eligible residents and businesses,
whose ballot has been received by the transportation engineer
during the period allotted for voting, must indicated by ballot
vote that they ARE NOT in favor of establishing the permit
parking area by checking the "no" (not in favor of) choice
listed on the ballot. For areas qualifying as a seasonal parking
area, no ballot shall be required. Only a public hearing with
residents indicating their favor with the change shall be
required.
14
1. Immediately following the thirty -day deadline date
specified for balloting, all ballots received by the imposed
deadline shall be counted. The "yes" (in favor of) votes and the
"no" (not in favor of) votes shall then be tallied separately and
a percentage derived for each category by applying the stated
formula to count petition signatures/ballot votes prescribed for
in this Section.
2. Should the official ballots received by the
transportation engineer by the deadline date specified to receive
such ballots, when tallied, fall below the required fifty-one
percent (51%) or more of residents and businesses indicating they
ARE NOT in favor of establishing permit parking, it shall be
assumed that a majority of residents and businesses in the area
are in favor of permit parking. The transportation engineer shall
then favorably recommend to the public services director the
establishment/creation of the proposed city permit parking area.
3. Should the official ballots received by the
transportation engineer within the deadline date specified to
receive such ballots, when tallied, meet the required fifty-one
(51%) or more of residents and businesses indicating they ARE NOT
in favor of establish permit parking, the area designation
process will cease and the transportation engineer will take no
15
further action related to establishing permit parking for the
area. No new applications for permit parking for the area will be
accepted for a period of one (1) year from the date on which the
said balloting period expired.
F. Upon receipt of the transportation engineer's favorable
recommendation to establish a permit parking program for the
area, the public services director, as soon as practicable
consistent with scheduling constraints, shall fix a time, date
and location for a public hearing to consider the transportation
engineer's recommendation to designate the proposed area of city
permit parking area where curb parking is restricted or allowed
by permit only. Said hearing shall also be conducted for comment
and analysis to determine the boundaries as well as the
appropriate area rules and regulations, parking restrictions,
issuance of permits, fees and other pertinent matters.
G. At least ten days prior to the hearing date, written
notice of the public hearing(s) provided for herein shall be (1)
published in a newspaper of general circulation, (2) posted not
more than four hundred feet apart along the streets proposed in
the permit area, and (3) mailed to the listed residents, owners
and those institutions known to the transportation engineer to
generate a significant volume of commuter parking in the
16
neighborhood. The notice shall clearly state the purpose of the
hearing, the location of the hearing, the proposed boundaries of
the permit area, the proposed permit fee schedules and formulas
for issuance, and the location where the transportation
engineer's recommendation is on file and available for public
review.
H. Any interested party shall be entitled to appear and be
heard on the proposal, subject only to reasonable rules of order
that may be established by the public services director.
12.64.060. Area designation - Public services director actions.
A. Within thirty (30) days following the hearing, the public
services director shall deny or approve the designation of a city
permit parking area as he deems justified under the objectives
and procedures above. The public services director shall reduce
his decision to writing in the form of a report that shall be
filed with the city recorder, accompanied by the transportation
engineer's recommendation related to the permit parking area and
made available to any interested party upon request.
B. The public services director's report shall include:
17
1. Significant subjects and concerns raised at the public
hearing conducted;
2. The findings relative to those designation criteria
deemed applicable to the city permit area;
3. Conclusions as to whether the findings, including
testimony obtained at the public hearing, justify preferential
permit parking for the area under consideration;
4. The director's approval (or denial) of the proposed
permit parking area;
and, if approved:
5. The proposed boundaries of the city parking permit area;
6. The proposed parking regulations, including
administrative provisions for issuing permits; and
7. An implementation schedule indicating when the new permit
parking area will become effective.
C. If the public services director approves creation of a
city permit parking area, a declaration of designation shall be
prepared as an administrative regulation establishing the program
for the area, including the boundaries, parking regulations,
fees, and other pertinent matters, for its administration and
implementation. The declaration shall be mailed to each listed
address in the area designated boundaries. The transportation
18
engineer shall promptly implement the program pursuant to the
schedule. If the public services director denies the creation of
a city permit parking area, a notice of such denial shall be
mailed to each listed address in the area designated boundaries.
D. Information generated through the original designation
process and the designation criteria set forth in this chapter
shall also be utilized by the public services director in
determining whether to remove any particular existing city permit
parking area or portion thereof from designated status and
participation in the program.
E. Action by the public services director in creating,
deleting or modifying the boundaries applicable in city parking
permit areas under this chapter, shall be final. However, the
city council may agree to review and to modify such decision(s)
by a vote of at least four of its members.
F. The public services director's decision shall be stayed
by the filing of a written objection requesting city council
review, provided the objection is filed within fifteen days of
the filing of the report. The objection shall specify grounds
upon which council review is justified. If accepted for review,
the matter shall be scheduled for public hearing before the city
council, with the mailing of ten days' written notice thereof to
19
the appellant, petitioner of record and the public services
director. An objection failing to receive the necessary votes for
review shall be deemed an affirmation of the public services
director's decision.
G. Actions by the public services director as to the
implementation and enforcement shall be considered administrative
matters.
12.64.070. Signs and markings in designated areas.
Upon the declaration of the public services director
designating a city permit parking area, the transportation
engineer shall cause appropriate signs, markings and/or meters to
be erected in the area, indicating prominently thereon the
parking regulations, the effective date, and conditions under
which permit parking shall be exempt therefrom.
12.64.080. Parking permit - Application - Term.
Each parking permit issued by the transportation engineering
office shall be valid for one year or portion thereof to be
determined by the transportation engineer excluding visitor
permits. Permits are not transferable, but may be renewed
annually upon reapplication in the manner required by the
20
transportation engineer. Each application or reapplication for a
parking permit shall contain information sufficient to identify
the applicant's identity, claim for permit eligibility,
authorized residence or business within the city permit parking
area, the license number of the motor vehicle for which
application is made, and such other information that may be
deemed relevant by the transportation engineer. Applications
shall be accompanied by the fee established in the declaration
referred to in Section 12.64.070.
12.64.090. Parking permit - Fees.

engineer's office. Each such permit shall be designed to state or
reflect thereon the particular city permit parking area. No more
than one parking permit shall be issued for each motor vehicle
included on the application. The number of permits available and
the manner for allocating permits between various competing
resident (as opposed to commuter) vehicles, and the manner in
which the process will be administered for each designated area
in the program shall be established by the public services
director's declaration of designation.
B. The following classifications of persons or entities
(listed in order of priority) may be issued parking permits for
motor vehicles under their control upon request pursuant to the

provided for herein, shall be permitted to stand or be parked in
the permit area for which the permit has been issued without
being limited by parking regulations or prohibitions solely
applicable to commuter vehicles. The permit does not exempt
drivers or owners from complying with general parking regulations
and penalties imposed by the traffic code set out in this Title
12, or ordinances. All other motor vehicles not displaying
permits that are parked within a city permit parking area shall
be subject to the commuter parking regulations adopted by such
declaration authorized by this chapter, and the penalties
provided for herein.
12.64.130. Temporary visitor permits.
Each declaration shall authorize the transportation engineer

five days. Prior to expiration, a vehicle bearing a visitor
permit shall have all the parking rights, obligations and
privileges held by permanent permits. Appropriate requirements or
limitations on visitor permits, methods and qualification for
fees, shall be recommended in each permit parking area by the
transportation engineer and contained in the public services
director's declaration.
12.64.140. Parking permit - Revocation conditions.
A. Faithful compliance with the terms of the city parking
permit program is a condition subsequent to the privilege of
obtaining a permit. Violation of the terms of the city parking
permit area shall be deemed a forfeiture of those privileges.
1. Any permit holder convicted for violation of this chapter
may be required to surrender such permit as a part of sentencing.
2. The transportation engineer is authorized to revoke the
city parking permit of any person found to be in violation of
this chapter, and upon written notification thereof, the person
shall surrender such permit to the transportation engineer.
Failure, when so requested, to surrender a city parking permit so
revoked shall constitute an infraction.
25
3. In the event the transportation engineer has good cause
to believe that any person or entity is abusing the visitor
permit system described above, he/she shall so notify the permit
holder. Any further application for a visitor permit by such
person found abusing the system may be denied for a period of not
more than one year.
B. Any person aggrieved by such a determination made by the
transportation engineer under subsections A2 and A3 of this
section shall have the right to appeal to the public services
director within seven days of such determination.
12.64.150. Enlargement of area.
Upon recommendation from the transportation engineer that
the designation criteria and circumstances indicate that
enlargement of an existing permit parking area is warranted and
appropriate, the public services director may begin proceedings
to enlarge the area by initiating the following procedure:

paragraph 4 of said subsection C shall not be considered.
D. Within thirty (30) days of the public hearing the public
services director shall approve or deny the proposed permit area
enlargement. The public services director shall reduce his
decision to writing in the form of a report that shall be filed
with the city recorder and made available to any interested party
upon request. The report shall follow the format outlined in sub
section B of Section 12.64.060.
27
E. If the permit parking area enlargement is approved, a
Declaration of Expansion shall be prepared and distributed using
the criteria outlined in subsection C of Section 12.64.060.
Criteria contained in subsections D, E, F, and G of Section
12.64.060 shall apply.
12.64.160. Removal of area designation or deletion of streets.
Upon recommendation from the transportation engineer that
the designation criteria and circumstances indicate that removal
of permit designation from an entire permit parking area is
warranted and appropriate, the public services director may begin
proceedings to delete a permit parking area or selected streets
of a permit parking area by initiating the following procedure:
A. By giving notice to all addresses within the boundary of
the permit parking area proposed to be wholly removed from permit
parking designation or within the boundary of an existing permit
parking area where certain streets (or portions thereof) are
proposed to be deleted from permit parking area, that a public
hearing is to be held to consider this action. Such notice shall
be given as provided for in sub section G of Section 12.64.050 of
this chapter.
B. Such notice shall contain:
28
1. The date, time and place of the public hearing to

3. A listing of the streets (or portions thereof)
proposed for removal from designation or deletion from a permit
parking area.
C. The hearing shall be conducted as provided under sub
section H of Section 12.64.050. The public services director
shall take into account the factors justifying the proposed
removal of area permit parking designation or the proposed
deletion of certain streets (or portions thereof) from an
existing permit parking area.
D. Within thirty (30) days of the public hearing the
public services director shall approve or deny the proposed
removal from permit designation of an entire permit parking area
or the proposed deletion of certain streets (or portions thereof)
from an existing permit parking area. The public services
director shall reduce his decision in writing in the form of a
29
report that shall be filed with the city recorder and made
available to any interested party upon request.
The public service director's report shall include:
1. Significant subjects and concerns raised at the
public hearing conducted.
2. The findings relative to those designation criteria
