SECTION 3: The parking restrictions imposed pursuant to Article Xl and this Resolution shall apply to any block within the South Metro Permit Parking District only after a petition signed by the owners of sixty-six percent (66%) or more of the residential lots abutting such block have filed a petition with the Executive Director of the Public Works Agency expressing their desire for such parking restrictions, and after signs indicating the parking restrictions on such block have been erected in accordance with Article XI. SECTION 4: No person shall park any vehicle at any time on any portion of any street within the South Metro Permit Parking District as to which signs have been erected Resolution No. 2000-062 Page 1 of 3
