A residential area shall be eligible for designation as a residential parking permit area when field studies conducted by the Traffic Engineer determine that parking in the area is significantly impacted by motor vehicles owned by nonresidents. In arriving at such findings, the Council, in consultation with the Traffic Engineer, shall consider the following factors:

a. The extent to which during any peak parking period during any normal day, except holidays, the number of parked motor vehicles approaches the legal on-street parking capacity of the area;

b. The extent to which, during the same period described in subsection (a), the number of parked motor vehicles in the area is comprised of motor vehicles not registered to persons residing in the area;

c. The extent to which parking by motor vehicles registered to nonresidents of the area places unreasonable burdens on area residents attempting to gain access to their residences, and the extent to which such area residents are willing to bear the administrative costs associated with the establishment of a residential parking permit area;

d. The extent to which [the] residential parking permit area [which] is being considered and adjacent areas are served by public transportation; and

e. The extent to which the designation of the residential parking permit area will help to alleviate traffic congestion, illegal parking, hazards to pedestrians, and related health and safety dangers. (Ord. No. G-2956, § 1)
