PARKING LOTS
PRIVATE WAYS
The following definitions shall apply to the provisions of this Section:
Areas on private or public property for parking automobiles
or other vehicles and which are regularly used by the public incident
to commercial, industrial or institutional purposes of the owner or
occupant of the property, whether provided for hire or gratuitously.
Includes private streets and those areas designated or appearing
as driveways, on private property, when either the private street
or driveway is utilized to provide a flow of vehicular or pedestrian
traffic upon or providing access to or from parking lots, commercial
or industrial buildings to which the public is invited, or institutional
buildings.
B.
On all parking lots and private ways on which fire lanes are required
by the ordinances of this City, the owner or occupant shall establish
fire lanes. On all other parking lots and private ways, the owner
or occupant may establish fire lanes. It shall be the duty of the
owner or occupant of such areas to place signs on such areas designating
such fire lanes. Upon request by the owner or occupant, the Fire Chief
shall assist in the designation of fire lanes and placement of signs.
At any time the Fire Chief deems the designation of specific fire
lanes not sufficient for the operation of emergency vehicles, the
Fire Chief may order a change in the dimensions and placement of the
fire lanes and placement of signs thereon. Establishment and marking
of fire lanes shall constitute express authority for Law Enforcement
Officials to enter private property to enforce provisions of this
Section.

of a fire lane.

Any motor vehicle which in any way obstructs a fire lane shall be
towed to an area of impoundment and the owner of such vehicle shall
be responsible for all fees and expenses in connection with the towing
and impoundment.
