SEC. 80.69.4. PARKING OF OVERSIZE VEHICLES.

SEC. 80.69.4. PARKING OF OVERSIZE VEHICLES. (Amended by Ord. No. 182,741, Eff. 11/11/13.) (a) No person shall stop, stand or park, when authorized signs are in place giving notice of the restriction, any oversize vehicle, defined as a motor vehicle in excess of 22 feet in length or over 84 inches in height, between 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. The registered owner of the oversize vehicle or other person having control of the oversize vehicle shall also be in violation of this section if they have knowledge that the oversize vehicle had been so parked and the person parking had the express or implied permission to operate the oversize vehicle. (b) Oversize vehicle restricted areas or streets may be established in either of the following manners: (1) The Council may authorize, by resolution, the streets upon which the parking of oversize vehicles shall be restricted between 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m., except for those oversize vehicles displaying a valid permit issued pursuant to the provisions of Subsection (c) of this section. Upon Council action designating streets with oversize vehicles parking restrictions, the Department of Transportation shall cause appropriate signs to be erected in those streets, indicating the parking limitation prominently on the sign and stating that motor vehicles with valid permits shall be exempt from the restrictions. (2) A Councilmember representing the district in which fewer than six street segments are impacted by the unrestricted parking of oversize vehicles may request the Department of Transportation to investigate and make a determination whether or not the parking of oversize vehicles on those street segments between 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. is adversely impacting the visibility of oncoming traffic, creating constrictions in the traveled way, or substantially reducing the availability of parking for residents and businesses. For the purpose of this section, a street segment consists of both sides of a street between two adjacent intersecting streets. To make this request, the Councilmember shall send a letter to the Department of Transportation identifying the street segments to be included in the restricted area, the reasons for the request, and verifying receipt of petitions showing support for the restriction by a substantial number of affected community residents.
