VALET PARKING

ARTICLE XVII.

Sec. 16-550. Purpose.

Valet parking benefits businesses and their patrons by helping alleviate perceived parking
deficiencies, enhancing customer service, and encouraging maximum use of less accessible
parking spaces. However, unregulated valet parking may cause traffic flow stoppages,
unanticipated traffic movements, parking violations and unauthorized use of public areas and
private parking spaces. The purpose of this article is to regulate valet parking where its
undesirable effects significantly affect public areas or public safety. This regulation is
supplemental to the regulation of article IX of the zoning ordinance and all other applicable
regulatory, tax and fee ordinances of the city.

part-time or contract basis, including an operator or manager of a valet parking station, and a
driver of patrons’ vehicles.

Business means any commercial establishment in the downtown, except for valet parking.

Downtown means the land area defined by the downtown plan.

License means the written authorization by the city allowing a person to provide valet parking
