A. No person shall store or permit to be stored a motor vehicle, recreational vehicle, trailer, boat or personal property in a public right-of-way or on public property for a period in excess of one week (168 hours) without moving such motor vehicle, recreational vehicle, trailer, boat or personal property to a different location at least two blocks away within each one-week period of time. It shall constitute prima facie evidence of unlawful storage in a public right-of-way or on public property if the motor vehicle, recreational vehicle, trailer, boat or personal property remains in the right-of-way or on public property longer than one week without being moved at least two blocks away from its original location. The City Manager or designee may, at the Manager’s (or designee’s) discretion, issue an administrative permit for any motor vehicle, recreational vehicle, trailer, boat or personal property to remain in the same location in a public right-of-way or on public property for a specified period longer than one week. Any such permit shall be prominently displayed on vehicle or trailer.

B. No person shall store or permit to be stored a motor vehicle, recreational vehicle, trailer, or boat in the public right-of-way if the vehicle’s license plates are missing or expired or its registration sticker has expired.

C. No person shall store or permit to be stored a motor vehicle, recreational vehicle, trailer, or boat in the public right-of-way if such vehicle is in a rusted or wrecked, dilapidated, partially dismantled or inoperative condition. It shall constitute prima facie evidence of a violation of this prohibition if a motor vehicle, recreational vehicle, trailer, or boat has one or more missing or flat tires, doors or windows that are broken, missing or open for more than one week (168 hours), the hood is open for more than one week, parts or equipment necessary to make the vehicle operable are missing, fluids are leaking from the vehicle, or personal property is stored under or on top of the vehicle.

D. It is unlawful to park, store or leave or permit the parking or storing of any licensed or unlicensed motor vehicle of any kind or of any motor vehicle trailer, either licensed or unlicensed, of any kind, for a period of time in excess of one week, which is in a rusted or wrecked or junked or partially dismantled or inoperative or abandoned condition, whether attended or not, upon any private property within the City, unless the same is completely within an enclosure where it would not be visible from the street or adjacent property, or unless it is in connection with a business enterprise lawfully licensed by the City and properly operated in the appropriate business zone pursuant to the zoning laws of the City – and a violation of this chapter shall be a misdemeanor.

E. A violation of this chapter shall be a misdemeanor and a civil infraction. (Ord. 2078 §§1, 2, 2023)
