Full Breakdown
Section 110-189 lets the city council impose a parking permit requirement on a 'designated permit area,' defined as a contiguous single-family residential area of at least ten lots (or an entire street if it has fewer). Inside a designated area, no vehicle may park between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. or between 3:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. on weekdays without displaying a valid resident permit or guest permit. The rule was written to curb student drop-off and pick-up congestion, so the same subsection also bars blocking a crosswalk, sidewalk, intersection or private driveway during those windows.
The city engineer issues one free resident permit per vehicle a household keeps at the address, plus two free temporary guest permits per lot, using an application the city engineer develops; permits are non-transferable and must display in the lower left rear window. Utility, government and delivery vehicles working in the area are exempt, and the restriction lifts entirely on days Wylie East High School is not in session. The three streets currently designated are Palmdale Drive from East Brown Street to Glendale Drive, Jamestown Drive from Anson Parkway to Palmdale Drive, and Glendale Drive from Anson Parkway to Palmdale Drive, adopted by Ordinance No.
2016-15 and amended by Ordinance No. 2021-54. The police chief enforces the area and may issue citations or have an obstructing vehicle removed at the owner's expense.
Violations & Fines
Parking without a displayed resident or guest permit during the restricted weekday windows draws a citation from the police chief or an authorized representative, who may also have the vehicle removed at the owner's expense. The ordinance does not list a specific fine for this section, so a violation is enforced through the police chief's authority in subsection (f) rather than a stated dollar amount.
