2411.15 Notwithstanding the notice requirements in §§6 and 10 of the District of Columbia Administrative Procedure Act, approved October 21, 1968 (82 Stat 1204; D.C. Code § 1-1506 et seq.), within each residential permit parking zone, the Director may re-designate, at his or her discretion, the times for residential permit parking of any specific block which meets one (1) of the following criteria:

2411.18 Ballots for votes, pursuant to §2411.17, shall be distributed to each household in the area, and the majority of the ballots returned within fifteen (15) days shall be regarded as indicating the
