Moving vans or trucks or other vehicles handling heavy freight, merchandise, or materials shall be permitted to back into the curb and park at an angle, with the traffic, of not more than forty-five degrees, to take on or discharge loads, but permission for such angle parking in areas on through streets and in the business district where angle parking is not otherwise permitted, shall be first obtained from the Chief of Police. In all such cases, the vehicle shall not remain so parked longer than the actual loading or unloading requires.
In the business district the driver of a vehicle shall not back the same between other vehicles then standing upon the street in order to park the driver's vehicle between such vehicles unless the driver can do so without interfering with traffic and unless there is sufficient space so that such vehicle when parked will be parallel with the curb. ('91 Rev.)
Whenever a vehicle is found stopped or parked in violation of any state law or city ordinance, or in such manner as causes a dangerous condition to exit or whenever the owner or operator of a vehicle has failed to report or heed a notice to appear before the proper magistrate, any police officer or other authorized person may remove such vehicle from a street, alley, city parking lot or ramp, city right-of-way, or any other illegal location, to a place of safekeeping. If such vehicle must be serviced or towed, the fee, together with any other necessary expense incurred in such removal, shall be assessed against the vehicle and shall be paid before it is released. (Ref. Iowa Code 321.356, 357). (Ord. #5507, 7/22/19)
In any proceedings for violation of the parking provisions of this ordinance, the registration plate displayed on such motor vehicle involved in said violations shall constitute in evidence a prima facie presumption that the owner of such motor vehicle was the person who parked or placed such motor vehicle at the point where such violation occurred.
No person shall park a vehicle upon the roadway for the purpose of displaying such vehicle for sale or lease, washing, greasing or repairing such vehicle except such repairs as are necessary due to an emergency. This includes vehicles belonging to a vehicle sale lot, customers’ vehicles at repair or body shops, customers’ returned leased vehicles, or any type of home occupation trailers. No RV’s campers, or boats may be parked on any city street for more than (48) forty-eight hours per week. (Ord. #5538, 1/27/2020).
