[Ord. No. 417, 11-15-2005]
A. No
person, except the owner, tenant or their invitees, shall loiter upon,
enter, be upon, park motor vehicles upon or permit motor vehicles
to remain upon or about any public or private parking lot, nor upon
any parking lot provided for the customers, business invitees, employees
or owners of any professional, commercial or industrial establishment
at any time any such public or private lot or professional, commercial
or industrial lot shall be closed to use by the erection of signs
hereinafter described.
B. Any
such public or private parking lots, or parking lots provided for
the customers, business invitees, employees or owners of any professional,
commercial or industrial establishment may be closed by the erection
of a sign or signs upon, about or adjacent to said lots giving notice
that the lot is closed to use between certain designated times or
hours. Evidence of the existence of such signs described herein shall
be prima facie evidence, creating a presumption that the lot is closed
in accordance with the terms of such sign and that such sign was erected
by persons having the lawful authority to regulate the closing hours
of such lot. Such presumption shall be rebuttable.
C. It
shall be unlawful to deface, tamper with, alter, mutilate or remove
any of the signs described herein which purport to regulate the periods
such lots are closed.
D. Any
person and/or motor vehicle found upon any such lot or facility at
any time during which said lot is closed in accordance with the provisions
contained on any sign or signs erected and maintained on, about or
adjacent to said lot shall be presumptively upon the lot in violation
of this Section. Such presumption shall be rebuttable.
E. Any
motor vehicle found upon any such lot or facility at any time during
which said lot is closed in accordance with the terms of a sign or
signs erected and maintained on, about or adjacent to said lot shall
be presumptively upon the lot in violation of this Section and may
be impounded and towed from said lot by or at the direction of the
Sparta City Police. Such presumption shall be rebuttable. Any such
motor vechicle impounded and towed in accordance with the provisions
hereof shall thereafter be released only to the lawful owner of such
vehicle upon payment of all towing and storage charges incurred by
reason of such impounding and towing.
F. As
used in this Section, the term "motor vehicle" shall
include, but not be limited to, any four-wheel motor-driven vehicle
or any two- or three-wheel motorcycle.
G. Any
person convicted of violating this Section or any provision thereof
shall be punished by a fine not exceeding five hundred dollars ($500.00)
or by imprisonment not exceeding ninety (90) days, or by both such
fine and imprisonment.
