§ 12.32.010. Purpose.  


Latest version.
  • The health, safety and welfare of many residents are affected adversely by burdens placed on residents by virtue of the existence of major public facilities and programs. Frequently, the use of streets within residential areas for the parking of vehicles by persons using adjacent governmental, commercial, industrial, educational, and transit areas and other areas, facilities and programs emanating from planning, zoning and other decisions by government results in hazardous traffic conditions, the over burdening of existing streets, roads and other facilities, air and noise pollution, and the inability of residents of certain areas to obtain adequate parking adjacent to or close by their places of residence and to secure ease of access to their places of residence. In order to reduce, to the extent possible, the conditions described in this section, to foster the use of mass transit facilities and ride-sharing, to encourage use of underutilized city garages, and to promote the safety, peace, good order, comfort, convenience, health and welfare of the residents of the City, it is essential that the parking permit authorization provided for in this chapter be enacted.
