Vehicular parking on the public streets, alleys and public parking lots within the municipal limits of the city is insufficient to provide adequate and necessary parking space for business firms, employees, patrons and deliverymen. To relieve the growing congestion occasioned by such parking, it is deemed necessary and proper to encourage the establishment of private parking and customer parking lots and areas. Policing, regulation and protection thereof is deemed necessary to encourage development of private and customer parking lots and areas.
(Ord. 519 § 1, 1957; Ord. 911 § 6, 1981)
Any person, firm or corporation may designate and set aside for private parking space any area sufficient for the parking of one or more vehicles and shall so designate the area by adequate signs, posted in conspicuous places at or near the boundaries thereof, legibly printed with the words "Private Parking" or "No Parking" and referring to this article and chapter by number.
(Ord. 519 § 2, 1957; Ord. 911 § 6, 1981)
After designation and posting as provided by CMC 11.24.320, it is unlawful for any person to trespass or enter upon the parking lot without prior permission of the owner or any other person entitled to possession thereof.
(Ord. 519 § 3, 1957; Ord. 911 § 6, 1981)
Any person, firm or corporation may acquire and set aside for parking space for its customers a parking lot area, and shall so designate said area by adequate signs posted in conspicuous places at or near the boundaries thereof, legibly printed with the words "Customer Parking," the name of the firm, reference to this article and chapter by number and designating a time limit for parking thereon. Thereafter it shall be unlawful for any person to park any motor vehicle thereon except by a customer of the firm, and in any event, for no longer than limited by the posted signs.
(Ord. 519 § 4, 1957; Ord. 911 § 6, 1981)
