A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the creation of curbside overnight truck parking in industrial business zones and to provide for the repeal thereof
Be it enacted by the council as follows:
Section 1. Subchapter 2 of chapter 1 of title 19 of the administrative code of the city of New York is amended by adding a new section 19-170.3 to read as follows:
§ 19-170.3 Overnight parking in industrial business zones. a. Definitions. For the purposes of this section, the following terms have the following meanings:
Commercial vehicle. The term “commercial vehicle” has the same meaning as such term is defined in the rules of the department for the purposes of the parking, standing, and stopping rules, and as may be amended from time to time.
Industrial business zone. The term “industrial business zone” means an industrial business zone designated by the industrial business zone boundary commission pursuant to chapter 6-D of title 22 of this code.
b. Overnight parking in industrial business zones. The department shall establish a program to implement a curbside overnight parking area for the exclusive use of commercial vehicles within each industrial business zone where the department determines such a program is feasible. In each such area, the department shall: (i) allow commercial vehicles to park for at least 10 continuous hours, except that these overnight parking areas shall not be active between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.; (ii) prohibit vehicles that are not commercial vehicles from parking in such area during such hours when commercial vehicles are allowed to park; and (iii) post signage indicating such allowance and prohibition. At least 30 days prior to the implementation of such an area, the department shall provide written notice to any community board representing the community district in which such industrial business zone is located, and to any council member in whose district such industrial business zone is located. Upon a request, the department shall discuss such implementation with such community board or council member prior to such implementation.
c. Informational campaign. The department shall conduct outreach to commercial establishments within each industrial business zone and to commercial truck drivers who operate commercial vehicles within the city to inform them of the implementation of overnight parking areas in each industrial business zone where such parking is established pursuant to subdivision b of this section.
d. Reporting. By June 1 of each year, the department shall submit to the mayor and the speaker of the council, and publish on its website, a report on the use of the overnight parking areas in industrial business zones implemented pursuant to subdivision b of this section. Such report shall include but need not be limited to, the location of each such overnight parking area, the available data regarding the usage of such overnight parking areas, and an assessment by the department of any observed effect of such overnight parking areas on industrial business zones, commercial truck drivers, and outlying residential areas, to the extent known.
§ 2. This local law takes effect 180 days after it becomes law and expires and is deemed repealed on July 1, 2030.
