It shall be unlawful for any parking garage, parking lot or any other
parcel property located within the City of Scranton which charges a fee for
the storage or parking of a motor vehicle to have, keep, lease or maintain
said property without first having obtained the proper permit from the Department
of Community Development. This permit requirement shall not be waived in the
event that said parking garage, parking lot or other parcel of property offers
discounted parking fees or free parking to persons showing proof of patronage
to or validation by any business enterprise located within the City of Scranton.
The Director of the Department of Community Development, or any other person the City of Scranton may designate, may in her discretion, cause to be closed any parking garage, parking lot or parcel of property as described in §
328-1 for which no permit fee has been paid.
Any business or activity permitted under this chapter shall be subject
to inspection by the appropriate officials of the City of Scranton.
Any person who shall violate any provision in this chapter shall, upon
conviction thereof, be sentenced to pay a fine of not more than six hundred
dollars ($600.) and, in default of payment, to undergo imprisonment for a
term not to exceed thirty (30) days. Each day that a violation of this chapter
continues shall constitute a separate offense.
