in effect2155.056 - Fees for permanent removal of parking meters.
(a) Whenever an individual street parking space managed with a parking meter is permanently removed from service due to construction, development or other authorized reason, the person requesting such removal shall be required to pay lost meter revenue, as determined by the Director pursuant to Section 2155.04, per individual street parking space permanently removed from service. The Director shall promulgate rules and regulations, pursuant to 2155.04, for the administration of this section.
(b) Should it be necessary to remove a parking meter post or otherwise remove a parking meter, an additional fee shall be charged which reflects the cost incurred by the city for such removal and restoration. These fees shall be established by the public service director, collected by the director's designee, and deposited in the Mobility Enterprise Fund.
(c) The Director may waive or reduce the required fees for permanent removal of parking meters when:
(1) the public benefit of the project or initiative resulting in the meter removal outweighs the loss in revenue;
(2) the potential for undue hardship on the project if the fee is required; or
(3) where the project is City-initiated or includes public funding.
