    (4) Procedures for Consideration and Establishment of Classifications and Area Designations:

        a. The determination of streets and areas to be subject to such parking restrictions shall be based on characteristics including, but not necessarily limited to:

             1. location within a residential zoning classification or within a designated business, office, or industrial park or other commercial/industrial area with special character or features that could be adversely impacted by on-street parking of large vehicles;

             2. density of development, with primary focus on residential subdivisions with a typical lot size of acre or less;

            3. predominant lot width and street frontage characteristics, with primary focus on subdivision settings where typical lot widths are 150 feet or less;

            4. location-specific safety issues including, but not limited to, considerations of traffic volumes, street surface width, sight distance, and use characteristics;

            5. documentation or determination of inappropriate parking of classified vehicles or the potential for such parking to occur.

       b. Subsequent to this preliminary review and consideration, the Board will determine whether an amendment to this ordinance designating additional streets and areas should be formally considered and, if so, it shall be advertised for public hearing by the Board in accordance with the advertisement and public notice requirements for County Code amendments, as set forth in the Code of Virginia. In addition to the standard legal advertisements, the Board's intention to consider such restrictions will be advertised on the County's government access cable channel and through such other media opportunities as the Board and County Administrator determine appropriate.

       c. Concurrently with the advertisement of the proposed ordinance for public hearing, the Board will transmit a copy of the proposal to the Virginia Department of Transportation Residency Administrator. The County staff will coordinate with the Residency Administrator to ensure communication of any VDOT concerns or considerations to the Board for its review. Among other considerations, the Residency Administrator will be asked to review the potential for such restrictions to shift commercial vehicle parking to Primary routes or to other portions of Secondary routes where more serious traffic safety problems might be created.

       d. The County Administrator shall ensure the fabrication and posting of all such signs as are necessary to inform the public of the restrictions that apply to the subject streets and the subsequent maintenance of such signs and the prompt repair, removal and/or replacement of any signs that are damaged or destroyed.

(d) Application. The prohibitions and restrictions set forth in this section shall have no application when a vehicle is parked or stopped in compliance with the order of a law enforcement officer or a traffic control device, or during a permitted period of time in officially-designated parking areas, or in case of vehicular breakdown, or in an emergency which renders it necessary. Moreover, the prohibitions and restrictions contained in subsection (c) of this section shall have no application to any vehicle while such vehicle is in actual use for loading or unloading or while actually engaged in the provision of goods or services.

(e) Posting of signs. The county administrator shall cause "No Parking" and "1-Hour Parking" signs to be posted in the subject areas. Such signs shall comply with all applicable standards and specifications as set forth in the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) and the specifications that the County intends to use shall be coordinated with and approved by the Resident Engineer prior to fabrication. The County shall secure such permits as may be necessary for its personnel to work within and install the signs in VDOT rights-of-way.

(f) Application of sections 15-43 through 15-45. The provisions of sections 15-43, 15-44 and 15-45 of this Code shall apply in the enforcement of this section.
