Latest version.

  • (a)

    The Chief of Police shall have authority, in the manner hereinafter provided in this section, to establish and lay off loading zones upon the streets of the City. Loading zones may be established by the Chief of Police upon the approval thereof by Council. Such zones shall be for the sole purpose of providing on-street facilities for the loading and unloading of commodities and equipment in the conduct of business, and where no adequate off-street loading facilities are available. The Chief of Police, with the approval of Council, may with respect to the establishment of any such loading zone, prescribe limitations as to curb space and the time of day within which such loading zone may be used, which shall be designated by appropriate signs. Any resident may apply for the establishment of a loading zone. Such application shall be submitted in writing to the Chief of Police. All loading zones established under this section may be abolished by the Chief of Police by and with the approval of Council. Any applicant for the establishment of a loading zone whose application has been denied by the abolition of any such loading zone may appeal such action to Council, whose action thereon shall be final.

    (b)

    No person shall stop, stand or park any vehicle for any purpose or any length of time in any space designated as a loading zone by the Chief of Police under and pursuant to the provisions of subsection (a) of this section, except while such vehicle is being used in the business of loading or unloading as provided in subsection (a) of this section. In no case shall a lawful stop within a loading zone exceed one-half hour, except where special permission from the Chief of Police has been obtained for such extension. Any vehicle stopping, standing or parking in a loading zone established by the Chief of Police pursuant to subsection (a) of this section, for any purpose other than loading or unloading as provided in subsection (a) of this section may be impounded by the Police Department pursuant to the provisions of Section 303.07.
