Consider amending and re-enacting Section 13-1-66 Guest Cards of the Harrisonburg City Code
body
Presented By: City Attorney BrownRecommendation and Review
The amendment to Section 13-1-66 adds a provision requiring that guest cards issued to permit parking in a residential permit parking zone identify the address of the person(s) to whom the guest card is issued, and limits the area guest cards permit parking to within 500 feet of the property line of the address listed on the guest card. This provision is intended to ensure guest cards are only used for their intended purpose of providing parking to guests visiting a residence. Presently, there is concern that some residents of residential permit parking zones are abusing their guest cards by lending them to non-residents, who then use the guest card for personal convenience unrelated to time spent as a guest of a resident in the residential permit parking zone.
