This ordinance addresses valet operations with ramps on public right of way. The storage distance requirement does not apply to private ramping. Consequently, a hotel with a private ramp can choose valet vehicle storage location without a distance limit requirement.
The distance requirement was established to minimize delays at a ramp on public property and also helps with traffic conditions, given that there is only one (1) operator per block. However, any delay of valet vehicles in private ramps is a concern of the private business.
