This article shall apply to commercial and industrial properties and
residential properties with more than three dwelling units.
Any posted restrictions in any vehicle parking area on or for a residential multifamily, commercial or industrial property shall be part of an approved site plan pursuant to Chapter
135 of the Hampstead Town Code. Where a property has been developed under the site plan process, the posting of parking restrictions shall require approval of a site plan amendment. Where a property has been developed without a site plan, the property owner must make application for parking restrictions to the Hampstead Planning and Zoning Commission in such a form and manner as determined by the Commission.
Any parking area where restrictions are posted must meet all requirements
of the Hampstead Town Code pertaining to off-street parking.
A vehicle with a valid handicapped registration plate or valid disabled
person's parking permit conspicuously displayed shall not be towed from
private property without the consent of the vehicle owner unless the tow is
expressly authorized by a police officer or member of the department of fire
and rescue services.
The Town Council may establish by resolution a requirement that all
trespass towing firms operating within the Town limits be registered with
the Town. The Town Council may also by resolution establish fair rates for
trespass towing, incomplete tows, vehicle storage and other activities related
to the removal of vehicles from private property as deemed necessary to safeguard
public health, safety and welfare.
