Greenville adopts new overnight parking schedule for downtown lots
Summary
The Greenville City Council adopted Ordinance No. 23-01 revising overnight parking rules for municipal lots, including alternate-side designations, a no-overnight rule for Lot 9, and different overnight hours for specific lots. The ordinance passed 6–0 with one member absent.
The Greenville City Council on March 21 adopted Ordinance No. 23-01 to amend Chapter 42, Article III (Stopping, Standing and Parking), changing overnight parking rules for municipal lots.
Councilperson Lehman moved to approve the ordinance and Councilperson Cunliffe seconded. The ordinance was adopted by a recorded vote of 6 Ayes, 0 Nays; Councilperson Moss was absent.
Key changes include alternate-side parking for downtown municipal lots during December through March. For Lots 1, 2, 5, 6, 7 and 8 overnight parking is defined as 2:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m.; for Lots 3 and 4 overnight parking is defined as 4:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. Specific halves of several lots are designated for alternate days (examples include split configurations for Lot 2, Lot 3, Lot 4, Lot 6 and Lot 7). Lot 9 is explicitly designated as no overnight parking. Designated barrier-free (accessible) spaces are exempt from alternate-day rules. The ordinance also clarifies that overnight parking is allowed in all city lots from April through November.
The ordinance text (Section 42-96) reinforces enforcement provisions: vehicles parked in violation may be impounded and the registered owner is presumed to be the parker; posting signs at city entrances shall constitute notice of the restriction. The council did not receive public comment on this ordinance during the public hearing.
The measure updates municipal parking management and is intended to address winter parking logistics and safety in downtown lots. The ordinance was adopted as presented; the transcript does not specify an effective date beyond adoption.
