OPINION OF THE COURT
Simons, J.
Plaintiffs challenge the validity of Albany City Ordinance No. 5.11.86 which creates a program allowing residents of certain areas of the City of Albany who purchase permits to park in their neighborhoods for periods of unlimited duration but restricts nonresident parking in such areas during weekday business hours to 90 minutes. The ordinance patently discriminates against nonresidents and violates statutory and *100common-law rules which, we conclude, the City could not modify under existing authority. The ordinance is therefore ultra vires and void.
