6.20.030 Temporary Parking Restriction Areas.
A. The City Manager or designee may identify areas within the City as temporary parking restriction areas and may establish durational limits or other restrictions for parking vehicles based on a reasonable determination of the safety, convenience, and necessity of the public and based on one or more of the following criteria:
1. History of citizen complaints or citations of vehicles parking against City parking regulations, BC 6.20.005, or other parking violations.
2. Evidence of a lack of adequate parking for businesses and other uses in the district, due to identified parking violations.
3. Availability of a public agency partner to share in enforcement costs.
4. Other criteria as determined by the City Manager or designee.
B. The City Manager must adopt an administrative policy setting forth the temporary parking area, the restrictions that will be implemented, the reasons for establishing the area, the intended means of enforcement (whether by the City’s parking enforcement contractor or other means), and the anticipated duration the restrictions will be in effect. Signage or other markings must be installed to inform the public of the parking restrictions. City Council must approve the extension of a temporary parking restriction area for longer than two years, or may adopt the temporary parking restriction area into the Code as a parking district.
C. Temporary parking restrictions implemented under this section may not last longer than two years without City Council approval.
D. Temporary parking restriction areas under this section may only be established on streets or other rights-of-way within or adjacent to lands with the following zoning designations, as defined in the Bend Development Code:

2. Convenience Commercial;
3. Limited Commercial;
4. General Commercial;
5. Industrial General;
6. Industrial Light.
E. Temporary parking restriction areas may also be established to address items of safety, convenience, and need as described in subsection (A) of this section that occur within 500 feet of the Deschutes River, between the Bill Healy Bridge on Reed Market Road and the NW Mount Washington Drive bridge, regardless of zoning designation.
F. Paid parking permits may be available within temporary parking restriction areas, as set forth in the City Council adopted fee resolution. [Ord. NS-2347, 2019]
