A. Parking In Parking Lots: The chief of police is authorized and directed to cause lines or markings to be painted or placed upon parking lots owned or under the jurisdiction of the city and to designate the type of parking permitted such as passenger vehicles, trucks and trailers, boats or other type of motor vehicles. Vehicles shall park within the markings designating the space in accordance with the markings of the parking space and designation thereof. The chief of police shall cause appropriate parking signs to be installed upon such lots clearly informing the public of the type of parking permitted.
B. Parking In Loading Zones: A loading zone or space may be occupied by a vehicle while actually engaged in loading and unloading persons or supplies, for such period of time only as is set forth on the loading zone sign. Parking in a loading zone or space during "operating time" for any other purpose is unlawful.
C. Unlawful Parking: It shall be unlawful for any person to park a vehicle or, having parked the same, to suffer it to remain parked in violation of the regulations on any duly installed parking sign or any provision of this chapter. When the parking sign merely states the duration of time allowed for parking, such as "two hour parking", then the regulation shall be in force only during "operating time" and when the sign forbids parking at all times or at designated times, the regulation is in force at all times or as stated. (Ord. 331, 9-5-1984)
D. Continuously Parking On Streets: No motor vehicle, trailer, mobile home, tractor, motorcycle, bus or vehicle of any other type shall remain continuously parked or left on any street of the city for more than twenty four (24) hours at any time, and in the event said motor vehicle, trailer, mobile home, tractor, motorcycle, bus or other type vehicle remains continuously parked or left for more than forty eight (48) hours, the Paul police department will have the authority to impound said motor vehicle, trailer, mobile home, tractor, motorcycle, bus or other type vehicle and remove the same; provided, however, that the police department shall give written notice of its intention to do so to the purported owner at least twenty four (24) hours prior to the time the motor vehicle is so removed. Any person violating any provision of this subsection shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. (1975 Code § 8-124; amd. 1989 Code)
