§ 12.01.010 ABANDONED VEHICLES AS NUISANCES.
   (A)   In addition to and in accordance with the determination made and the authority granted by the state under Cal. Vehicle Code § 22660 to remove abandoned, wrecked, dismantled or inoperative vehicles or parts thereof as public nuisances, the City Council makes the following findings and declarations.
   (B)   The accumulation and storage of abandoned, wrecked, dismantled or inoperative vehicles or parts thereof on private or public property creates a condition tending to reduce the value of private property, to promote blight and deterioration, to invite plundering, to create fire hazards, to constitute an attractive nuisance creating a hazard to the health and safety of minors, to create a harborage for rodents and insects, to be injurious to the health, safety and general welfare.
   (C)   Therefore, the presence of an abandoned, wrecked, dismantled or inoperative vehicle or parts thereof, on private or public property, except as expressly permitted in this chapter, constitutes a public nuisance which may be abated as such in accordance with the provisions of this chapter.
