§ 55-425. Terms of valet operator license and valet location license.

(a)

Every valet operator license and every valet location license shall be issued in writing and shall be valid for a one (1) year term specified in the license.

(b)

A valet operator license does not give the licensee the right to conduct valet services at any location unless the licensee also obtains a valet location license for the location where the valet services are conducted or obtains written permission from the person or entity holding the location license.

(c)

A valet location license does not give the licensee the right to conduct valet services unless the licensee also holds a valet operator license.

(d)

Every valet location license shall be issued for a specific valet client business at a specific location, and shall not be valid for any other valet client business, except as provided in subsection 55-425(f).

(e)

A valet operator shall obtain a separate valet location license for each valet client business and each location of the same valet client business where the valet operator provides valet services, except as provided in subsections 55-424(c) and 55-425(f).

(f)

A valet operator may obtain a single valet location license for two or more valet businesses which choose to share valet services if:

(1)

The valet client businesses are all within one thousand (1,000) feet of each other; and

(2)

The valet operator submits a copy of a written agreement under which all of the client businesses agree to a share a single valet drop-off location, valet station, valet parking lot, and valet parking signs among them as part of the proposed parking plan; and

(3)

The city traffic engineer finds that the valet drop-off location, valet, station, and valet parking lot as provided in the valet parking plan and the sharing agreement meet the requirements of this article as to each valet client business.

(g)

Every valet location license includes the contents, terms, conditions, restrictions and limitations of the valet parking plan approved at the time the license is issued, or as modified in writing by the city traffic engineer after issuance, and the same shall be conditions of the license. The director may impose any additional term, condition, requirement, or limitation on any valet operator license that the director may determine is necessary to protect public health, safety, welfare or convenience.

(h)

The issuance of a valet operator license and valet location license under this article does not grant the licensee any right, license, franchise, or property right in any part of the public right-of-way under the license itself or under the terms of any revocable permit for use of the public right-of-way issued or utilized in connection with such license. The city and any of its police officers or officials may reasonably require, in the exercise of reasonable discretion, that the licensee or any valet client business to temporarily or permanently suspend its valet parking operation, the use of its valet drop-off location, or remove its valet parking station or valet parking sign from a part or all of the public right-of-way in order to protect public safety, to facilitate special transportation needs, to permit construction, for parades and other special events, or for other reasonable purposes.
