               parking substantially and unreasonably, regularly interferes with the
               use of a majority of the available public street parking; is a source
               of other interference with the residential environment and
               detrimentally affects the public welfare; and
           (b) the rules and procedures for the designation of a preferential
               permit parking district have been followed.
