Sec. 26-183. - Review, issuance, terms, revocation.
(a) The parking official shall, subject to the provisions of this division and upon applicant's payment of the fee, approve an application as submitted or modified subject to this subsection and issue a permit, unless he determines that:
(1) The application is incomplete or materially untruthful;
(2) There exist any unresolved parking citations for any vehicle owned by the applicant; or
(3) The proposed access restriction, as requested, would substantially inconvenience the public in its use of the streets and that the inconvenience would outweigh any public benefits from the work, function, or activity for which the permit is requested, according to written criteria established by the traffic engineer.
(b) The parking official may, according to written criteria established by the traffic engineer, impose reasonable limitations upon scope of a permit, which shall be consistent with the nature and time of the restriction and its anticipated effects upon vehicular and pedestrian use of the streets. Without limiting the foregoing, the parking official shall not authorize restriction during peak hours of traffic if a practicable alternative time schedule could be used, unless he determines that traffic and mobility will not be adversely affected. Consistent with the foregoing criteria and with approval by the traffic engineer, the parking official may require the permit holder to provide traffic-control devices, signage, and notice to the public at the permit holder's expense.
(c) To the extent that another person has previously requested or obtained a permit for all or part of the area subject to the application or the parking official is aware of any other activity that will also affect traffic at the time and in the area affected by the application, the parking official shall require the persons to coordinate their restrictions or may delay the effective date of the permit until a previous restriction is concluded.
(d) Each permit shall be issued in writing, shall set forth the specific meter spaces affected, beginning and ending dates, authorized days of the week and times of day, nature and authorized site of the authorized restriction, and any requirements for traffic-control devices, signage, and public notice. The permit restriction shall not be valid except in strict accordance with its terms and shall be void if used in any other time, place, or manner.
(e) Permits are personal to the permit holder and may not be assigned or used by any other persons.
(f) Upon written notice to the holder, a permit may be suspended or revoked if the parking official determines that it was issued by error, that the obstruction is having unanticipated adverse effects upon vehicular or pedestrian traffic, or that the holder has not complied with any applicable term of the permit. If a permit is suspended or revoked, the parking official shall refund a percentage of the fees for any unutilized days under such permit.
