 AN ACT to amend the vehicle and traffic law and the public authorities
 law, in relation to authorizing a residential parking permit system in
 the city of New York; and providing for the repeal of such provisions
 upon expiration thereof

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Legislative findings and intent. The legislature finds that
 2 a lack of parking for residents of the city of New York has resulted in
 3 traffic hazards, congestion and air and noise pollution. In addition,
 4 such lack of parking poses a hazard to residents and other pedestrians
 5 in such areas.
 6 The legislature further finds that a residential parking system will
 7 reduce such hazards and will reduce pollution levels as well. The legis-
 8 lature, therefore, declares the necessity of this act to authorize the
 9 city of New York to adopt a residential parking system in accordance
 10 with the provisions of this act.
 11 § 2. The vehicle and traffic law is amended by adding a new section
 12 1640-t to read as follows:
 13 § 1640-t. Residential parking system in the city of New York. 1.
 14 Notwithstanding the provisions of any law to the contrary, the city of
 15 New York may, by adoption of a local law or ordinance, provide for a
 16 residential parking permit system and fix and require the payment of
 17 fees applicable to parking within the area of the city in which such
 18 parking system is in effect in accordance with the provisions of this
 19 section.
 20 2. Such residential parking permit system may only be established
 21 within the city of New York neighborhoods of Brooklyn Community Board
 22 two, Brooklyn Community Board four, Brooklyn Community Board six, and
 23 the Prospect Heights neighborhood in Brooklyn Community Board eight.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.

 A. 1247--A 2

 1 3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no permit shall be required on
 2 streets where the adjacent properties are zoned for commercial or retail
 3 use or in metered parking spaces.
 4 4. The local law or ordinance providing for such residential parking
 5 system shall:
 6 (a) set forth the factors necessitating the enactment of such parking
 7 system;
 8 (b) provide that motor vehicles registered pursuant to section four
 9 hundred four-a of this chapter shall be exempt from any permit require-
 10 ment;
 11 (c) provide the times of the day and days of the week during which
 12 permit requirements shall be in effect;
 13 (d) make not less than twenty percent of all spaces within the permit
 14 area or areas available to nonresidents and shall provide for short-term
 15 parking of not less than ninety minutes in duration in such area;
 16 (e) provide the schedule of fees to be paid for such permits; and
 17 (f) provide that such fees excluding administrative expenses, shall be
 18 remitted by the city of New York to the applicable mass transit agency
 19 on a quarterly basis to be deposited in the general transportation
 20 account
