Finding of necessity.
Saint Paul Legislative Code § 164.09
in effectSec. 164.09. - Finding of necessity.
If the council approves the residential permit parking request, the resolution authorized by section 164.02 must fully state the basis for the creation or modification of the residential permit parking area which supports the existence of the following or other serious problems caused by nonresidential parking:
(a) The area is detrimentally impacted by parking of commuter vehicles during the proposed hours of restriction and that this detrimental impact creates an unreasonable increase in hazardous traffic conditions; or
(b) The area does not have sufficient parking to accommodate the convenient parking of automobiles by residents thereof in the vicinity of their homes; or
(c) Street cleaning, snow removal and other cleanup operations are greatly hampered by the present unregulated parking; or
(d) The restriction of on-street parking available to commuters will reduce vehicle noise, pollution, congestion and other adverse environmental effects of automobile commuting and will thus encourage reliance on car pools and mass transit; or
(e) The health, safety, and welfare of the residents, and the attractiveness, livability, and integrity of the neighborhood will be better protected by a system of permit parking under this chapter.
