Those regulations have helped protect the quality of life in residential neighborhoods. They balance the rights of the residents with the rights of quiet enjoyment of the surrounding neighbors. The Council has continued to recognize that in limited situations, motor vehicle(s) may need to be parked on a temporary basis on residential laws. Regulations were therefore enacted which set forth a procedure permitted such limited temporary parking. In the course of the annual review conducted by the City Controller on fees, it has been determined that fee adjustments are required to capture the costs incurred by the City of South Bend in the implementation and enforcement of those regulations. This ordinance is believed to be in the best interest of the City of South Bend. C/lr"-u", L✓!e!'elv6,, /n W onk6mcl by the Common Council of the City of South Bend, Indiana, as follows: Section I.
