Parking as used herein shall not include occasional parking of washing, polishing or servicing a motor vehicle, and such parking is exempted from this prohibition. Nothing herein shall have the effect of circumventing zoning laws which laws are intended to prevail, and nothing herein shall be construed as permitting the violation of any other Oxford law.

   (r)   No person, without privilege to do so, shall abandon a motor vehicle by leaving the same parked upon private residential property without the permission of a person having the right to the possession of such property. As used in this section, private residential property means private property on which is located one or more structures that are used as a home, residence or sleeping place by one or more persons if no more than three separate households are maintained in the structure or structures. Private residential property does not include any private property on which is located one or more structures that are used as a home, residence or sleeping place by two or more persons if more than three separate households are maintained in the structure or structures. For the purposes of this section, the fact that a motor vehicle has been so left without the required permission is prima-facie evidence of abandonment.
(Ord. 2088. Passed 4-17-90.)

In addition to the penalty provided for by Section 303.99, an unattended vehicle in violation of any portion of this section shall be subject to the removal and impounding provisions of Section 303.08.
