§ 12.14.020. Declaration of policy.

The primary purpose of public streets and rights-of-way is the free and unobstructed right of travel. The city recognizes that the use of public streets and rights-of-way for valet parking operations, while providing a public benefit, may also impede travel, interfere with the rights of others using the streets and rights-of-way, and may affect the public safety and create a public nuisance. The city may therefore permit and restrict valet parking operations as a special privilege, not as a matter of right. The approval of any permit under this chapter for the use of the public right-of-way is on a temporary and nonpermanent basis and is for a nonexclusive use of that public right-of-way. Permittees shall have neither property interest in nor any entitlement to the granting or continuation of any permit for the use of any public right-of-way.
