3-11-2: PURPOSE AND INTENT:

The primary purpose of public streets and rights-of-way is the free and unobstructed right of travel. The City recognizes that the use of downtown public streets and rights-of-way for valet parking operations, while providing a public benefit, may also impede travel, interfere with the rights of others using the downtown streets and rights-of-way, and affect the public safety or create a public nuisance. Therefore, the City Council declares its intent to permit valet parking operations to be permitted in the downtown area and to restrict or otherwise condition valet parking operations as a special privilege, and not as a matter of right. The approval of any permit under this chapter for the use of the public rights-of-way is on a temporary and nonpermanent basis and is for a nonexclusive use of the public rights-of-way. Permittees shall have neither a property interest in nor any entitlement to the granting or continuation of any permit for the use of any public rights-of-way. (1952 Code § 5-13-02; amd. Ord. 12-24, 4-30-2024, eff. 7-1-2024)
