(a) Prohibition. It shall be unlawful for any person to park on a public street or permit any vehicle, trailer, boat or camper owned or controlled by them to be so parked when such vehicle, trailer, boat or camper displays a sign or other markings indicating that the vehicle is “for sale” in any zone designated as and posted as a “No Parking of Vehicles for Sale” zone.
(b) Designation. The City Traffic Engineer may post specified areas within the City to restrict or prohibit the parking of vehicles for sale. Each zone so restricted shall be designated only upon the following findings by the City Engineer:
(1) That at least two (2) surveys of the proposed area taken a minimum of twenty-four (24) hours apart have indicated that three (3) or more vehicles displaying “for sale” signs have been parked at that location or along a high volume street;
(2) That the parking of vehicles at this location or along this street in groups significantly interferes with the flow of traffic or with vehicular or pedestrian safety;
(3) That the rights of those who own, control or have possession of a vehicle, as defined in the California Vehicle Code, to display their vehicle for sale elsewhere in the City along public streets has not been materially diminished by the designation of this area or street as “no parking” for that purpose; and
(4) That no alternative solution is feasible or practical.
