Whenever a vehicle is illegally parked on any highway pursuant
to the provisions of this chapter or the State Vehicle Code in addition
to any other remedy provided for by the Vehicle Code, any deputy of
the sheriff's department of Riverside County or member of the California
highway patrol may cause such vehicle to be impounded, driven or towed
away and stored; provided that no vehicle may be removed unless signs
are posted giving notice of the removal. Any such reasonable cost
resulting from such impounding, towing or storage shall be charged
to the owner of the vehicle and to the driver who committed the parking
violation.
(Ord. 101 § 3, 1976)
The owner or person in lawful possession of any private property
may, subsequent to giving notice to the Riverside County sheriff,
cause the removal of a vehicle parked on such property, to the nearest
public garage if there is displayed in plain view on the property
a sign prohibiting public parking and containing the telephone number
of the Riverside County sheriff's office. The provisions of this section
shall not limit or affect any right or remedy which the owner or person
in lawful possession of private property may have by virtue of other
provisions of law authorizing the removal of a vehicle parked upon
such property. Any person causing removal of such vehicle shall comply
with the requirements of Sections 22852 and 22853 of the Vehicle Code
relating to notice in the same manner as applicable to an officer
removing the vehicle from private property.
(Ord. 101 § 4, 1976)
