time as 1) an application is approved which encompasses one or more streets and/or addresses named
under the current ordinance or 2} a maximum of thirty-six months from the date the Board of Alderman
votes to change or amend the current ordinances pertaining to permitted overnight park to accommodate
adoption of some or all of the recommendations included within this report.
Should an area currently covered under the existing regulations be absorbed into a newly ratified parking
permit zone, those streets and/or addresses will be stricken from the existing ordinance and incorporated
into the newly approved program. If an application should fail, the existing program will remain in effect.
After thirty-six months, any areas covered under the existing regulations as approved overnight parking
permit zones should be subject to amendment of the existing regulations which recognizes the following:

The Capacity Testing process as presented earlier in this report and the legal capacity of currently
established areas in the city under those standards;

of permits per household for currently established areas in the city under those standards;
D. The Rate Setting process as presented earlier in this report and the assessed cost per issued
permit for currently established areas in the city under those standards.

cost per permit for the coming fiscal year, etc.)
