City of Orem, UT - Code of Ordinance Page 17
B. In determining whether a residential area identified as eligible for residential permit parking may be
designated as a residential permit parking area, the City Council shall take into account the following
factors:
1. The extent of the desire and need of the residents for residential permit parking and their willingness
to bear any administrative costs in connection therewith;
2. The extent to which legal on–street parking spaces are occupied by motor vehicles during the period
proposed for parking restriction;
3. The extent to which vehicles parking in the area during the period proposed for parking restriction are
nonresident vehicles rather than resident vehicles;
4. The extent to which motor vehicles registered to persons residing in the residential area cannot be
accommodated by the number of available off–street parking spaces; and
5. The extent to which any other factor contributes to the need for a residential permit parking area.
(Ord. No. O-01-0050, Enacted, 12/11/2001)
19-5-7. Designation Process.
A. Any resident(s) of the City may submit a written request to the City Manager, or his designee, that an area
of the City in which the resident(s) live be designated as a residential permit parking area. Upon receiving a
request that an area be so designated, the City Manager, or his designee shall direct that the necessary
investigation, survey or study be completed to determine whether or not the proposed area is impacted to
a degree that would warrant such a designation. The results of such investigation, survey or study shall
then be presented to the City Council for consideration.
(Ord. No. O-01-0050, Enacted, 12/11/2001)
B. The Council shall thereafter conduct a public hearing on the proposal. The City Recorder shall cause notice
of such hearing or hearings to be published twice in a newspaper of general circulation in this city. The first
publication shall be not less than ten days prior to the date of such hearing. The notice of the public
hearing shall be conspicuously posted in the proposed residential permit parking area. The notice shall
clearly state the purpose of the hearing, the location and boundaries tentatively considered for the
proposed residential permit parking area, any prohibition or time limitation under which permit parking
shall be exempt therefrom and, if applicable, the permit fee to be charged therefor. During such hearing or
hearings, any interested person shall be entitled to appear and be heard, subject to appropriate rules of
order. Following the hearing, the City Council may enact, reject, or amend said draft resolution in any
manner, including but not limited to, modification of boundaries of the proposed area and any time or
other restrictions imposed on such proposed area. In order to establish a permit parking area, the Council
shall find that the designation will be a benefit to the health, safety, peace, morals, comfort, and general
welfare of persons residing in the area of designation. In reaching this decision consideration shall be given
to the residents' support for residential permit parking, the existing parking conditions, the expected
effectiveness of residential permit parking in improving parking conditions, and the location and size of the
residential permit parking area.
(Ord. No. O-01-0050, Enacted, 12/11/2001)
C. The residential parking permit program shall balance all affected interests, including public safety,
neighborhood concerns, and the welfare of the general public. The residential parking permit program
shall specify the permit area and the various duration parking restrictions that may apply within portions of
