(A) Authority, permission and procedure. The Council may, in its discretion, grant special permission whereby on-street parking or the use of city-owned parking lots or public sidewalks may be temporarily or permanently prohibited or restricted for private reasons and purposes (including, but not limited to, establishment of private or “leased” parking, “loading zones” or display of merchandise on sidewalks) at the places, on the terms and for the compensation as the Council may deem just and equitable. In establishing the amount of compensation to be paid to the city, the Council shall consider the amount of space, location thereof, public inconvenience and hazards to persons or property.
(B) Forbidden practices. It is unlawful for any person to park or otherwise infringe upon a grant of right under this section, when clearly and distinctly marked or sign-posted. It is unlawful for any person not granted the right to assert the same, or for any grantee of the right to exceed the same under claim thereto.
(C) Unlawful practices. It is unlawful for any person to violate any of the provisions of this section; the Police Department is authorized to summarily remove any and all objects, things and personal property which it finds which has been placed upon public streets, public sidewalks and public lots in violation of this section.
