(A) Micromobility vehicles may be deemed to be part of a micromobility sharing operation based on any of the following: marketing or advertising associated with a business logo attached to the vehicle; marketing or advertising associated with the overall appearance of the vehicle; the existence of a locking mechanism that can be unlocked for a fee or other form of direct or indirect compensation; or any other indicator that would lead a reasonable person to believe that the vehicle is used for micromobility sharing as defined in this section.
(B) Any micromobility vehicle deemed to be a part of a micromobility sharing operation that is found illegally parked, or otherwise in violation of this section or the terms of a valid city license agreement, shall be subject to impoundment under this section.
(C) Any micromobility vehicle deemed to be a part of a micromobility sharing operation that is left unattended on private property shall be subject to impoundment under this section. Impoundment shall not occur unless and until a qualifying request to remove the micromobility vehicle is made by the owner or authorized representative of such property.
(D) In addition to any other remedy available at equity or law, failure to comply with the provisions of this section, or with the terms of any license agreement issued pursuant hereto, may result in impoundment as provided in this section, license termination, suspension or cancellation, administrative fines, restrictions, or other penalties as provided herein.
