After the petition is completed then submitted for review, the Revenue Authority will
schedule a public hearing within 90 days of receipt of the petition. Public notice of the

Authority to the Executive Director or (2) by showing a petition listing 90% of the property owners or lease holders in the proposed RPP zone.

After at least twelve months in operation, the Authority may accept petitions signed by at least 60% of the residential property owners or lease holders in the permit parking area for termination of the RPP area. The Authority shall follow the same public hearing and notification procedure used for establishing a zone.
10. How do I sign up for the program after zone is established?
After the public hearing, we send out the Board Decision Letter. The letter includes
