A charge of $30.00, or $15.00 for an event sponsored by a nonprofit, per diem in addition
to a fixed fee of $45.00 shall be charged against all contractors, builders, and others
requiring the temporary use of curb space controlled by single/double-space parking
meter and/or multispace pay station or OPS services in order to facilitate work conducted
by them in the immediate vicinity of the single/double space parking meters, multispace
pay stations or OPS, except in the downtown area from the Pontchartrain Expressway
to S. Claiborne Avenue to N. Claiborne Avenue to Elysian Fields to the River, including
both sides of all streets listed, where the charge shall be $70.00, or $35.00 for
an event sponsored by a nonprofit, per diem, in addition to the $45.00 fixed fee.
Temporary use is defined as the time period posted on the single/double-space parking
meter, multispace pay stations, or OPS. Temporary use of curb space controlled by
single/double space parking meters or multispace pay stations or OPS shall not permit
a user to disregard other regulations posted in the area. For purposes of this section,
the term "nonprofit" shall mean an organization that is exempt from federal income
tax under Section 501(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, is a Louisiana nonprofit corporation
in good standing with an Employer Identification Number issued by the Internal Revenue
Service, or is a school operated by the Orleans Parish School Board or Recovery School
District. These fees shall be nonrefundable and shall not be waived.
Upon receipt of an application and payment for such rentals the department of public
works, or its representative, will appropriately display notice of such rental. In
the case of a space(s) regulated by a multispace pay station, single/double space
parking meters or OPS, the department of public works, or its representative, will
appropriately display a notice of such rental on the physical barriers used to indicate
the space(s) being rented. If the department of public works determines that the single/double
space parking meter(s) or the multispace pay station(s), or installed OPS signs will
hamper the work to be performed by the user or the possibility of damage to the single/double
space parking meter, multispace pay station or OPS signs exists, then the department
of public works, or its representative will remove the applicable single/double space
parking meter(s), multispace pay station(s) and OPS signage and install "no parking"
signs to indicate the space(s) have been rented. For this service a fee of $305.00
will be imposed, in addition to the per diem rates.
Acceptance of an application for the use of curb space occupied by single/double-space
parking meters, multispace pay stations or OPS signage shall be limited to a maximum
of 90 days. If this period is not sufficient, the user must request renewal of the
application at least five working days before the expiration date of the original
application. If an extension is requested within less than five working days of the
expiration of the original application, a new application must be initiated, and payment
of the fixed fees of $45.00 and $305.00 will be required.
