Editor's Note: Original § 205-49, Parking time limits and charges, was repealed 10-4-2005 by Ord. No. 2005-735.
Parking meters installed in the said lots shall be placed immediately adjacent to the individual parking spaces that shall be marked off in the said lots. Each parking meter shall be placed or set in such manner as to show that the parking space adjacent to such meter is or is not legally occupied. Each parking meter installed shall indicate by a proper legend the legal time established by this article and, when occupied, shall indicate on and by its dial and pointer the duration of the period of legal parking and, on the expiration of such period, shall indicate illegal or overtime parking.
Lines and/or markings shall be painted or placed upon the various metered parking lots hereby established, adjacent to each parking meter, for the purpose of designating the parking space for which such meter shall be used. Each vehicle parked adjacent to any parking meter shall be parked within the lines or markings so placed and applicable to such meter. It shall be unlawful and a violation of this article for any person:
A. 
To park any vehicle across any such line or marking;
B. 
To park any vehicle in such a position that such vehicle shall not be within the area so designated by such lines or markings; or
C. 
To park a vehicle elsewhere in any such lot than in an individual parking space adjacent to a parking meter.
It shall be unlawful to park any vehicle in any of the said parking lots otherwise than with the foremost part of the parked vehicle nearest to the parking meter applicable thereto.
[Amended 10-4-2005 by Ord. No. 2005-735]
Whenever any vehicle is to be parked in any space adjacent to which a parking meter shall have been placed at any time during the period limited parking is herein prescribed, the operator of such vehicle shall, upon entering such parking space, immediately deposit or cause to be deposited in such parking meter one or more proper coins of the United States or tokens as shall be specified in the legend upon such parking meter. Upon the deposit of such coin or coins or token or tokens and placing the meter in operation, such parking space may be lawfully occupied by such vehicle for two hours for each coin/token so deposited in a two-hour parking meter zone; for three hours for each coin/token so deposited in a three-hour parking meter zone; and for 10 hours for each coin/token so deposited in a ten-hour parking meter zone. If any vehicle shall remain in any such parking space for such length of time that the meter shall indicate by a proper signal that the lawful parking time shall have expired, such vehicle shall be considered as having been parked overtime, and the parking of a vehicle overtime shall be a violation of this article. Every hour that a vehicle shall remain parked at a meter showing a violation shall constitute a separate violation of this article.
The metered parking lots hereby established (§ 205-48) are hereby declared to be for the use of private vehicles only, and it shall be unlawful and a violation of this article for any person to park in any lot any bus, truck, tractor, trailer, tractor-trailer or commercial vehicle of any kind or nature.
