§ 1120-105. PARKING IN COUNTY PARKING LOTS  


Latest version.
  • (a)

    Any parking lot, driveway, roadway, or part thereof, located on county-owned property may be designated by the Board of Supervisors as a restricted parking area. The Board of Supervisors may regulate or restrict the parking of motor vehicles in restricted parking lots by requiring permits for parking, setting time limits on parking, designating certain parking spaces for certain individuals or certain types of individuals, or by any other means whatsoever.

    (b)

    The Board of Supervisors hereby delegates to the General Services Director the authority to restrict parking on County property and confers upon the General Services Director, the duty to erect and maintain appropriate signs or install proper curb markings giving notice of the areas of prohibited or restricted parking and providing notice that vehicles parked in violation thereof shall be subject to removal pursuant to Section 22651(n) of the California Vehicle Code.

    (c)

    Every parking area, driveway, roadway, or part thereof, subject to regulation shall be clearly marked as to the restrictions imposed and shall have a sign posted at every entrance and exit stating that the lot is a restricted parking lot and stating the restrictions on parking that have been imposed. In lieu of signs, curb markings in accordance with section 21458 of the Vehicle Code of the State of California may be used.

    (d)

    When lines have been painted onto a parking area, driveway, roadway, or part thereof, which designate individual spaces for the parking of vehicles, all vehicles shall be parked within those designated spaces so as to not encroach upon any other designated space. There shall be no parking in areas not designated for parking or on grassy areas surrounding county owned buildings, unless specifically authorized by the General Services Director.

    (e)

    It shall be unlawful for any persons to park a motor vehicle of any kind on any county-owned property in violation of this Ordinance, when so designated by sign, or to leave any vehicle unattended blocking another motor vehicle legally parked, or to improperly park a motor vehicle on county-owned property not designated for use as a parking space.

    (f)

    Reserved.

    (g)

    It is the intent of this Ordinance that clearly marking and posting the restrictions on any lots or parking spaces fulfills all of the requirements of this Ordinance and constitutes notice to all individuals to be noticed of these restrictions as applying to those lots or spaces so marked.

    (h)

    Pursuant to the provisions Section 22651 of the California Vehicle Code, vehicles parked in violation of this Ordinance may be cited and/or removed from the property by the County or an agent of the County to a storage area or garage. If a vehicle is so removed, the owner, as a condition of regaining possession of the vehicle, shall be required to pay to the County all reasonable costs incidental to the removal and storage of the vehicle and any fine or penalty due for the violation.
