A. The borough, in cooperation with commercial vehicle owners, shall establish an operating plan for the use of commercial vehicle parking and staging areas of the Port Chilkoot Dock and other areas delineated for commercial tour and passenger vehicle loading, unloading and parking. The operating plan may be amended as necessary to assure the safe and orderly operation of commercial vehicles and commercial vehicle parking areas, and to meet the purposes of this title.

B. All operators of commercial vehicles shall comply with the operating plan as a condition of receiving and maintaining in effect a commercial passenger or tour vehicle parking permit.

C. Permit Display Required. Parking permits shall be displayed in the lower right corner of the front windshield of the vehicle, or as otherwise specified by the manager.

D. Operations to Be Efficient. Goods, passengers, and vehicles shall be staged so as to minimize vehicular standing time. No vehicle shall be present in the parking area except as reasonably necessary for loading, staging, or unloading of goods or passengers.

E. Commercial Vehicles Shall Be Attended. During passenger loading operations, the driver of a vehicle must remain with the vehicle or in the vicinity of the parking area. Staging of vehicles prior to passenger loading is allowed without individual vehicle drivers attending each vehicle; provided, that staging is done according to the operating plan and a driver or drivers are available to move staged vehicles if necessary.

F. Signage. A permittee may use a sign no larger than four square feet to direct customers to commercial vehicles. Signs must be portable and shall be removed from the designated area upon departure of the tour. Signs may not block pedestrian or vehicle access areas.

G. Exempted Vehicles. Vehicles exempt from permit requirements include borough vehicles, public safety vehicles, vehicles needed in case of emergency, utility vehicles, or private vehicles allowed by special use permit. Special use permits shall be issued by the manager as required for short-term parking under special circumstances.

H. Prohibited Vehicles. Unless exempted under this chapter, vehicles not displaying a current parking permit issued by the borough are prohibited from using permit parking areas.

I. Parking Area Defined. The requirements of this chapter shall apply within the parking area south of the Port Chilkoot Dock approach dock and east of Beach Road, and within such other areas as may be designated by the borough manager.

J. Except for a sign allowed under this chapter, a permittee shall not display any sales material such as brochures, handbills, or sales notices outside the area identified in the operating plan for independent tour operators. Sales methods shall be in accordance with the tour operator code of conduct.

K. Shuttle, Taxi, Courtesy Vans and Private Vehicles. Shuttle, taxi, courtesy vans and private vehicles are allowed to pick up in the designated loading zone. Vehicles may not be left unattended, may not block traffic and may be waiting a maximum of 15 minutes. (Ord. 18-09-512 § 39)
