Notwithstanding any other provision of this code to the contrary, the holder of a valid parking permit for on-street or city-owned parking lots designated for permit parking may park a vehicle at a place, for a time, or in a manner which would otherwise constitute a violation of the provisions of this chapter if:

A permit shall be issued upon application only to the owner or the operator of a motor vehicle who resides on property immediately adjacent to a street or other location within the residential permit parking zone. There shall be no charge for the permit other than a processing fee in an amount set by resolution of the council. The application for a permit shall contain the name of the owner or operator of the motor vehicle, residential address, the motor vehicle’s make, model, and the applicant’s driver’s license number.
