Bill > S02155

This bill authorizes the New York City Council to establish a residential parking permit system in the Queens Village area near the UBS Arena, with several specific requirements. The system would allow the city to create a local law establishing parking permits, fees, and regulations for a designated area around the arena. The bill mandates that the local law must include factors justifying the parking system, exempt certain motor vehicles (those registered under section 404-a), specify permit times, reserve at least 15% of parking spaces for non-residents, provide short-term parking options of at least 60 minutes, set permit fee schedules, and credit permit fees to the city's general fund. Importantly, the bill stipulates that no permits will be required on streets adjacent to commercially zoned properties, and any ordinance must first undergo a public hearing process as required by municipal home rule law. The legislation provides a framework for local authorities to manage parking challenges in this specific area, balancing the needs of residents, businesses, and visitors near the UBS Arena.
