10.52.135 Authority to establish parking regulations.
A. The Traffic Engineer or designee is authorized to establish regulations governing the parking of vehicles on city streets and other public ways, including, but not limited to, regulations:
1. Designating either or both sides of any street or public way, or any portion thereof, as a “no parking zone;” and
2. Prescribing limits on the length of time any vehicle may be parked on any street or public way, or any portion thereof; and
3. Determining upon which streets or portions thereof vehicles shall be angle parked, as distinguished from parallel parked, and the direction which vehicles shall be so angle parked.
B. Whenever the Traffic Engineer or designee shall exercise any authority under subsection A of this section, the Traffic Engineer or designee shall erect signs, place markings upon the pavement or curb, or in other appropriate manner give notice that the area has been designated a no-parking, time-limited-parking, or angle-parking-only zone.
C. When official signs, markings or other devices are erected or placed upon any streets or public ways, or any portions thereof, regulating parking by vehicles, no person shall park a vehicle or cause a vehicle to remain on any such street or public way in violation of any such signs, marking or other device. Any person violating any of the regulations established by the Traffic Engineer or designee, and any person otherwise violating any provision of this chapter, shall have committed a traffic infraction, punishable by a penalty not to exceed two hundred fifty dollars.
D. The Traffic Engineer or designee is authorized to issue parking permits to enable vehicles to be parked on city streets in excess of the time limit established in any time-limited parking zone within area bordered by NE 90th Street on the north, 164th Avenue NE on the east, continuing to 85th Street east to 166th Avenue NE on the east, continuing south to Redmond Way on the north, continuing to Cleveland Street on the south, to Leary Way on the south, continuing to 159th Place NE on the west, Bear Creek Parkway on the south and continuing on Redmond Way to the Sammamish River on the west and NE 85th Street on the west up to 154th Avenue. Permits shall be valid for the time period in which they are issued and may be renewed for specified time period. When properly displayed according to instructions provided by the Traffic Engineer or designee, the parking permit shall entitle the vehicle to be parked on the street without complying with any time-limit imposed under subsection A.2 of this section. All other parking regulations imposed under this chapter shall continue to apply and the permit shall not authorize noncompliance with any other such regulation. The fee for parking permits shall be established by council resolution as part of the planning department fee schedule.
