"Sec. 134 -2295. Procedure for determining controlled parking residential areas.
(a) In order to determine whether a particular area should be designated as a
controlled parking residential area, the town council can request or the town
manager may conduct, upon his own initiative or upon a petition of a majority of
the households on a proposed residential block addressed to the town
manager, a study to determine if the proposed area meets the criteria set forth
Ordinance No. 2 -2014 Page 1 of 3
in section 134 -2294. Following the study, the town manager shall determine
whether to designate the proposed area under consideration as a controlled
parking residential area or to remove the designation of a previously established
controlled parking residential area. The town council may also request the town
manager to designate an area as a controlled parking residential area based
upon a study previously conducted, if the criteria set forth in section 134 -2294
are met.
(b) When the town manager finds the criteria to designate have been met in a
controlled parking residential area, he shall cause the regulation to be recorded
upon an appropriate map of the town and retained permanently in the office of
the town clerk. The Town Clerk shall also keep an updated residential area
parking map, or reasonable facsimile thereof, in an appropriate location on the
Town's website. In addition, the town manager shall cause parking signs to be
erected upon public streets in the area, indicating the times, locations and
conditions upon which parking shall be by permit only. When an area has been
approved, designated and posted as a controlled parking residential area, it
shall be unlawful and a violation of this division to park a commuter vehicle in an
area restricted to residential permit parking only without having a valid
residential parking permit affixed on the left rear bumper of the vehicle, or in the
case of a residential visitor parking permit, appropriately displayed within the
vehicle."
Section 3. Severability.
If any provision of this Ordinance or the application thereof is held invalid, such
invalidity shall not affect the other provisions or applications of this Ordinance which can
be given effect without the invalid provisions or applications, and to this end the
provisions of this Ordinance are hereby declared severable.
Section 4. Repeal of Ordinances in Conflict.
All other ordinances of the Town of Palm Beach, Florida, or parts thereof which
conflict with this or any part of this Ordinance are hereby repealed.
