However, a sign required by Section 10.44.090 that has larger dimensions than specified in subsection A above is subject to review and approval by the Sign Committee.

The Transportation Engineer shall determine those portions of City streets upon which angle parking or diagonal parking shall be permitted. The Transportation Engineer is authorized to place pavement markings or signs within or adjacent to such portions of City streets in which angle parking or diagonal parking shall be permitted, indicating the angle at which vehicles shall be parked. Angle parking, in accordance with the designation placed by the Transportation Engineer, shall be permitted within the areas so designated.

When signs or pavement markings are in place indicating angle parking as herein provided, no person shall park or stand a vehicle at that location other than at the angle to the curb or edge of the roadway indicated by such signs or pavement markings.

Subject to other and more restrictive limitations, a vehicle may be stopped or parked within 18 inches of the left-hand curb facing in the direction of traffic movement upon any one-way street unless signs are in place prohibiting such stopping or standing.

In the event a highway includes two or more separate roadways and traffic is restricted to one direction upon any such roadway, no person shall stand or park a vehicle upon the left-hand side of such one-way roadway unless signs are in place permitting such standing or parking.

The registered owner shall be given written notice of the violation and an opportunity to respond as provided in Section 40202 of the Vehicle Code of the State of California as it exists today and may be amended in the future.

In addition to the penalties provided for violation of this Code, the use of a municipally owned and/or operated parking lot in violation of the regulations established by the Transportation Engineer, or the applicable fee requirements, shall be subject to use fees that are twice the fees for proper use.

Exception. This section shall not apply to a commercial truck (as established by a current registration with the state Department of Motor Vehicles):

Definitions. The following words and phrases shall have the meaning set forth in this subsection:

Restriction on oversized vehicle parking. No person shall park or leave standing any oversized vehicle on any streets or portions of streets in areas where the Public Works Director has caused signs or markings giving adequate notice of the restriction to be placed, except as provided in subsection C below.

Exceptions. Subsection B above shall not apply to:

Oversized vehicle disability parking permits. Any person that possesses a distinguishing disabled placard or license plate properly issued pursuant to the California Vehicle Code may park in any blue zone within the City, unless that parking location has been designated by the City's Traffic Engineer that parking an oversize vehicle at a particular blue zone creates or exacerbates a dangerous traffic safety condition. A sign must be erected at any blue zone notifying this prohibition. A person may obtain an oversized vehicle disability parking permit for a specific oversized vehicle to be parked at a specific location or locations separate from any blue zone if he or she demonstrates in writing to the satisfaction of the Public Works Director or his or her designee, on an application form prepared by the Public Works Director and upon payment of a fee prescribed by resolution of the City Council, that they meet each of the following conditions:

Temporary oversized vehicle parking permits. A person may obtain a temporary oversized vehicle parking permit for a specific oversized vehicle if he or she demonstrates in writing to the satisfaction of the Public Works Director or his or her designee, on an application form prepared by the Public Works Director and upon payment of a fee prescribed by resolution of the City Council, that they meet each of the following conditions:

Contractors oversized vehicle parking permits.

Nuisance declared. The City Council finds, determines and hereby declares that parking oversized vehicles in violation of this section constitutes an immediate threat to the public health, safety and general welfare, thereby creating a public nuisance. Unlike much of Southern California which was developed following World War II, Santa Barbara's street grid was established in the 18th and 19th centuries at a time before modern oversized vehicles could have been contemplated. Parked oversized vehicles interfere with and obstruct visual access to streets, traffic control signs and signals, other vehicles, pedestrians, bicycles and sidewalks, thereby substantially increasing the risk of collisions between vehicles, as well as collisions between vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians, at intersections, near driveways, and on all streets in the city, including curved roadway sections, narrow streets, busy streets, commercial districts, and neighborhood streets. Parked oversized vehicles create an immediate threat to the public health, safety and general welfare by obstructing visual access to scenic resources, including historic landmarks and natural resources, such as the coastal mountains, beaches, and Pacific Ocean. Parked or stopped oversized vehicles are frequently left with engines, refrigeration systems or generators running, thereby contributing to the deterioration of local air quality and quiet neighborhoods.

Integration with other permit parking. Oversized vehicles shall not be considered "eligible vehicles" under Section 10.46.060.A for parking permits issued pursuant to Chapter 10.46. Oversized vehicles with Chapter 10.46 permits that were issued before December 16, 2016 shall be valid until they expire and shall not be renewable thereafter.

Rules and regulations. The Public Works Director is authorized to promulgate and publish rules and regulations to interpret and implement this section.

The extent to which the residents and merchants of an area desire and need permit parking;

The extent to which on-street parking spaces are available for use by vehicles of the residents, their visitors and merchants and are not occupied by vehicles of others;

The size and configuration of the area as it relates to enforcement of parking and traffic regulations and the potential impact of parking and traffic congestion on this and adjacent areas as the result of the establishment of a Permit Parking Area;

Whether other regulatory measures will better solve the problem.

Recommendation. Upon the request of the City Council, the Transportation Engineer will undertake surveys or studies as he or she deems necessary to prepare a report and recommendation to the City Council as to whether an area should be designated as a Permit Parking Area.

Hearing. After the completion of his or her report and recommendation, the Transportation Engineer shall give notice and conduct one or more public hearings for the purpose of receiving public comments on the proposed designation of a Permit Parking Area.

Notice. Notice of the public hearing provided for herein shall be published once in a newspaper of general circulation in the City of Santa Barbara and shall be posted in the City Hall by the City Clerk at least 10 days prior to said hearing. The notice shall clearly state the purpose of the hearing and shall include a description of the location and boundaries considered for the proposed Permit Parking Area, the streets involved, the parking restrictions and limitations being proposed, and the fees proposed to be charged for Permits.

After the completion of said hearing or hearings, the Transportation Engineer shall submit his or her report and recommendations to the City Council, which shall include at least the following:

The designation process and the designation criteria set forth in this chapter shall also be utilized by the Transportation Engineer and the City Council to modify or terminate a Permit Parking Area.

The City Council may, at the time a Permit Parking Area is established or modified, establish permit parking restrictions for all or a portion of that Area.

After establishment of a Permit Parking Area, the Transportation Engineer may establish or modify permit parking exemptions and restrictions in accordance with applicable rules and regulations adopted pursuant to Section 10.46.100.

Eligible vehicles. Parking Permits may only be issued for use by passenger motor vehicles, motor driven cycles, and trucks of 3/4 ton capacity or less.

Issued for specific vehicles. Resident Parking Permits, Special Circumstances Parking Permits, and Employee Parking Permits may be used only by the vehicle which is identified in the application for the Permit.

Eligible persons. Resident Parking Permits for a designated Permit Parking Area may only be obtained by a natural person who is a bona fide resident of that Permit Parking Area as determined by the Transportation Engineer.

Specific resident vehicle. A Resident Parking Permit may only be used by the Resident Vehicle which is identified in the application for the Permit.

Eligibility. Hotel Guest Parking permits may be obtained by a hotel which (1) is located within a Permit Parking Area; (2) was operated as a hotel on November 13, 1984; and (3) was a nonconforming structure as to parking on that date. For purposes of this section, a "nonconforming structure as to parking" shall include a hotel to which a modification, variance or similar approval has been granted and which would be nonconforming as to parking in the absence of such approval.

Certificate of allotment. A Certificate of Allotment shall authorize issuance of a number of Hotel Guest Parking Permits not to exceed the hotel's "parking deficiency," as calculated pursuant to the following subsection. In order to obtain a Certificate of Allotment for a hotel that is located within a Permit Parking Area, the owner of that hotel must file an application for such a Certificate with the Transportation Engineer.

Computation of parking deficiency. Parking deficiency for a hotel shall be calculated as follows: (1) the number of parking spaces required by Section 28.90.100 or Section 30.175.040 of this code if the hotel were not legally nonconforming as to parking and the actual number of parking spaces that the hotel possesses shall be determined; (2) the actual number of parking spaces shall be subtracted from said required number of parking spaces; and (3) the remainder would establish the parking deficiency and the maximum number of parking spaces that would be authorized in the Certificate of Allotment.

Procedure. The Transportation Engineer shall refer a complete application for a Certificate of Allotment to the Community Development Department within 10 days after its receipt. The Community Development Department shall review the application and advise the Transportation Engineer within 30 days after said application is referred to it (1) if the hotel is legally nonconforming as to parking; and (2) the amount of the parking deficiency. Within 15 days after receipt of the advice from the Community Development Department, the Transportation Engineer shall (1) approve, approve with modifications or deny the application for a Certificate of Allotment and (2) mail the applicant written notification such approval or denial.

Review by director of public works. Any applicant for a Certificate of Allotment shall have the right to have the decision of the Transportation Engineer, pursuant to subsection D of this section, reviewed by the Director of Public Works or his or her delegate. Such a request for review must be made in writing and filed with the Director of Public Works within 10 days after notification of said decision accompanied by any required fee.

Restriction. A Hotel Guest Parking Permit may only be used by a bona fide guest of the hotel and may not be issued to an employee of the hotel.

Issuance. The City Transportation Engineer may issue an Employee Parking Permit to an employee whose place of employment is reasonably near a Permit Parking Area, where such use will not unreasonably displace vehicles of residents, their visitors, or merchants in the area.

Eligible persons. An Employee Parking Permit may only be obtained by a natural person whose place of employment is reasonably near the Permit Parking Area identified on the person's application and who is not a resident of that Permit Parking Area.

Issuance by police. The Chief of Police may issue Special Circumstances Parking Permits where the Chief of Police determines that emergencies, special conditions or events, or other circumstances make necessary the suspension or alteration of the usual vehicle standing or parking regulations.

Marking special circumstances permit areas. The Chief of Police may place, remove, cover, or install such traffic control device, barrier, sign, marking, barricade tape or other device, or order such action, as necessary to give notice of such special condition or requirements. The Chief of Police may authorize the City Transportation Engineer to place, remove, cover, or install such traffic control device, barrier, sign, marking, barrier tape or other device, as necessary to give notice of such regulations.

A motor vehicle on which is displayed a valid Parking Permit as provided for herein is exempt from parking restrictions or limitations established pursuant to Section 10.48.020 of this code, provided that such vehicle is stopped, standing or parking in the Permit Parking Area or portion thereof for which the Permit was issued and has valid and current registration issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles.

A Parking Permit shall not guarantee the holder thereof to an on-street parking space in the designated Permit Parking Area.

Vehicles displaying a valid Parking Permit will be subject to all on-street parking restrictions and limitations except those restrictions and limitations imposed pursuant to Section 10.48.020 of this code.

Falsification. No person shall falsely represent him or herself as eligible for a Parking Permit or furnish false information in an application for a Parking Permit.

The Chief of Police may place, remove, cover, or install such traffic control device, barrier, sign, marking, barrier tape or other device, or station a police officer, or order such action, as necessary to give notice of emergency or special condition regulations. The Chief of Police shall reinstate the usual traffic flow or vehicle standing or parking regulations by the removal or replacement of the device or the Police Officer upon the termination of the emergency, special condition, event or circumstance, unless otherwise directed by the City Council.

It is unlawful for any person to erase, rub out, conceal or otherwise remove, any chalk or other mark so placed by a Police Officer or Vehicle Control Specialist while the marked vehicle remains parked on the said street or portion thereof. For the purpose of this section, the movement of a previously marked vehicle in such a manner as to cause the tire marking to be concealed or removed, and without leaving the parking space or the block where such vehicle was parked when its tires were previously marked shall be deemed to be an erasure or removal of such chalk or other marking.

Tour Bus Loading Zones. Notwithstanding the other provisions in this section, the Transportation Engineer may designate certain curb areas as "tour bus loading zones" for the parking or loading and unloading of passengers, and further designate time limits and certain hours of the day on certain days of the week during which no person shall stop, stand, or park any vehicle except a tour bus in said zone.

Examples of riding in an unsafe manner may include, but are not limited to, the following examples:

Any person operating a bicycle or e-conveyance upon a street at a speed less than the normal speed of traffic moving in the same direction at such time shall ride as close as practicable to the right-hand curb or edge of the roadway, except under any of the following situations:

Persons riding or operating bicycles or electric bicycles shall not ride more than two abreast, except on paths or parts of a roadway set aside for the exclusive use of bicycles.

Any person operating a bicycle or e-conveyance who is emerging from an alley, driveway, bicycle path, building or otherwise approaching upon a sidewalk or sidewalk area, shall yield the right-of-way to all pedestrians on such sidewalk or sidewalk area, and upon entering a bicycle lane, highway, or street shall yield the right-of-way to all vehicles, bicycles, or e-conveyances on the roadway.

A person may ride a bicycle or electric bicycle on any area designated as a driveway; or

Any area designated as a bikeway by the City Council.

All persons under the age of 18 operating or riding as a passenger upon a bicycle or e-conveyance on a public street, public right-of-way, public place, or place open to the public for vehicle and pedestrian travel must wear a properly fitted and fastened bicycle helmet.

No person shall operate a bicycle or electric bicycle on a roadway unless it is equipped with a brake that will enable the operator to make one braked wheel skid on dry, level, clean pavement.

Any person who violates the provisions of this chapter shall be subject to an infraction or administrative citation as described in subsection B below. First responders, as defined by California Government Code Section 8562, are exempt from this chapters while in the performance of their duties.

Administrative Fines. A violation of this chapter is also punishable by the following:

Appeal. Administrative citations issued pursuant to this chapter may be appealed according to the provisions of Sections 1.25.090 through 1.25.120 of this Code. In reviewing an appeal, the Hearing Administrator shall take into consideration the person’s ability to pay the fine. The citation must include notice of the right to appeal, including the right to request an ability-to-pay determination and shall make available information regarding how to file an appeal. If a person meets the criteria described in Government Code Section 68632(a) or (b), the City will accept, in full satisfaction, 20% of the administrative fine imposed pursuant to this section.

Violations by Minors. Any minor cited for committing a violation under Section 10.52.020 shall be required to participate in the Youth Diversion Program (or a substantially similar program if the Youth Diversion Program should cease to operate) that will help facilitate education on bicycle and e-conveyance safety.

The purpose of this chapter is to regulate shared mobility devices within the City. When properly regulated, shared mobility devices can provide the community with convenient, temporary, short-distance transportation options and an alternative to automobile use. However, if left unregulated shared mobility devices have resulted in conditions detrimental to communities throughout California particularly when the devices are operated, left, stored, or abandoned on sidewalks and other pedestrian rights-of-way and in parks, beaches, and other public places. This chapter complements existing regulations intended to preserve the accessibility of the City's sidewalks and pedestrian ways, particularly in the downtown area and preclude activity that may impede travel and interfere with the right of others using the streets and right-of-ways. The California Vehicle Code establishes rules and restriction for operation for bicycles, electric bicycles, electric scooters, and other similar vehicles on public streets and sidewalks, including prohibition of use of electric scooters on sidewalks and pedestrian ways, therefore, this chapter is not intended to regulate use or sale of any transportation device that is not a shared mobility device as defined in this chapter, provided that the use of such device is consistent with applicable law.

The Transportation and Parking Manager is authorized to administer and enforce this chapter and to approve, conditionally approve, or deny permits. The Transportation and Parking Manager may develop, adopt, and amend regulations for issuance and administration of permits. The regulations may include permit application requirements and terms, conditions, and operational requirements imposed by a permit on a permitted operator, including, but not limited to, the following: to the storage, placement, parking, securing, safe operation, and maintenance of a shared mobility device; procedures for abatement and impound of shared mobility devices parked or left in violation of this chapter; grounds for permit suspension or revocation; protection of personal, financial and travel information of users; and provision to the City of user data and reports. The regulations may limit the quantity of shared mobility devices per permitted operator and the number of permitted operators. The regulations may specify design features and safety equipment of shared mobility devices not inconsistent with the provisions of the California Vehicle Code. The regulations are supplemental to and shall be consistent with the provisions of this chapter. Regulations adopted by the Transportation and Parking Manager, or any amendment thereto, are effective upon approval by the Director. No application for a permit may be filed and no permit may be approved until regulations relating to the permit have been adopted and approved; provided, however, that the Transportation and Parking Manager may establish, and the Director may approve, separate regulations for permits relating to shared bicycles and permits relating to shared power scooters and other shared mobility devices.

Unlawful operation. It is unlawful for a person to provide, manage, or make available a shared mobility device within the City except in accordance with a permit issued pursuant to this chapter. A permitted operator must also obtain a business license pursuant to Chapter 5.04 of this code.

Unlawful use. It is unlawful for a person to operate a shared mobility device within the City except a device that the person has obtained for use from a permitted operator. This subdivision shall not be construed to preclude a person from using within the City a shared mobility device that the person obtained from a device provider lawfully operating pursuant to a permit issued by the County of Santa Barbara or a city within the County of Santa Barbara.

Unlawful parking. It is unlawful and a public nuisance for a shared mobility device to be parked or left unattended in the following areas: crosswalks; curb ramps; designated access ways for persons with disabilities; public parks, sidewalks, paseos, or pedestrian pathways except in designated locations or facilities designed for parking of bicycles or scooters; public on-street or off-street automobile, bus, or motorcycle parking spots; loading zones; business entryways; bicycle lanes; landscaped or planted area of a street or sidewalk; within 15 feet of a fire hydrant; railroad crossings; or in any location or manner that impedes pedestrian traffic or accessibility by persons with disabilities. A shared mobility device may be parked on a street or sidewalk so long as it is parked upright and in a location that is not prohibited by this subdivision.

Permit applications. Applications for a permit must be filed with the Public Works Department on a form prescribed by the Director. An application shall not be accepted unless it is complete and the applicant has paid a nonrefundable permit application fee in the amount established by City Council resolution. After acceptance an application will be referred to the Transportation and Parking Manager.

General permit requirements. All permits are subject to, and all permitted operators must comply with, the following general permit requirements:

Permit issuance. The Transportation and Parking Manager may approve, conditionally approve, or deny an application and issue a permit. A permit will be effective for a period of one year from the date of issuance. A permitted operator may renew a permit by filing a renewal application before the expiration of the permit. A permit may not be transferred to another person, except to another permitted operator after written approval of the transfer by the Transportation and Parking Manager. An applicant is required to demonstrate compliance with all requirements for issuance of a permit.

Notwithstanding any other requirement, a permit may be denied if the Transportation and Parking Manager determines that issuance of the permit would lead to an over-concentration of shared mobility devices or cause an imbalance in the geographical distribution of shared mobility devices.

In evaluating a permit application, the Transportation and Parking Manager may consider the extent to which the applicant demonstrates the capacity to meet the permit terms based on past experience, including an applicant's previous history in complying with applicable laws in other jurisdictions, and its efforts to ensure compliance by its users with applicable laws.

Appeal of permit denial. Notice of a decision to deny a permit shall be in writing stating the reasons therefor and shall be mailed to the applicant by first class mail to the address stated on the application. The applicant may appeal the decision to the Director by written appeal filed with the Director not later than 10 days from the date of the notice. The appeal shall state the grounds and information upon which the appeal is made. The Director's decision on the appeal shall be final and is not subject to Section 1.30.050 of this code.

Permit suspension or revocation. The Transportation and Parking Manager may suspend or revoke a permit by giving written notice to the permitted operator stating the grounds for the suspension or revocation. The notice shall be delivered to the permitted operator by personal delivery or first class mail sent to the address stated on the permit. A suspension or revocation shall be effective immediately unless otherwise stated in the notice. The applicant may appeal the suspension or revocation to the Director by written appeal filed with the Director not later than 10 days from the date of the notice. The appeal shall state the grounds and information upon which the appeal is made. Filing of an appeal will stay the effective date of the suspension or revocation unless otherwise expressly provided in the notice. The Director may schedule a meeting with the permitted operator or may decide the appeal based on the written notice and the facts stated in the appeal. The Director's decision on the appeal shall be final and is not subject to Section 1.30.050 of this code. Cause for suspension or revocation of a permit includes, but is not limited to, the following:

A shared mobility device that is parked or left in violation of subsection C of Section 10.53.030 is a public nuisance. The City may remove and impound any shared mobility device that is parked or left in violation of subsection C of Section 10.53.030. Before removal and impound the City shall give one hour notice by placing a written notice on the device and providing notice to the permitted operator by telephonic or electronic communication. The City may remove and impound without advance notice any device that is parked or left in a manner that creates an immediate hazard or impedes the free use of a sidewalk, bike path, pedestrian way, or access by persons with disabilities.

The Transportation and Parking Manager shall provide notice to the permitted operator through regular mail or electronic mail or by a method identified in the permit within 48 hours following the impound of a shared mobility device. The notice shall state the circumstances of the impound and advise the permitted operator of the manner by which the device may be claimed and the amount of the fees that must be paid. The Director may establish the fee to reclaim an impounded device in an amount sufficient to cover the City's costs of the removal and impound. The fee to reclaim an impounded device is additional to any administrative fine that may be imposed for violation of this chapter. The City may dispose of a shared mobility device that is not claimed within 30 days after notice of impound is given.

The City may remove and impound without advance notice any shared mobility device parked, left, or made available within the City by a person who is not a permitted operator. If the identity of the owner is reasonably ascertainable by markings or other information on the device, the City will attempt to notify the owner within a reasonable time as provided in subsection B. The City may dispose of a shared mobility device impounded under this chapter if the device is not claimed within 30 days after notice is given if the identity of the owner is ascertainable or within 90 days after the date of the impound if notice is not given.

Violations. Any violation of the provisions of this chapter shall be an infraction or be subject to administrative fine and the administrative code enforcement process pursuant to Chapter 1.25. The penalties for a violation of this chapter shall be subject to the provisions of Chapter 1.28 of this code.

Prima Facie Violation. Any administrative citation issued pursuant to this chapter shall be prima facie evidence that the violation occurred.

An agreement to investigate, defend, indemnify and hold harmless the City, its officers, agents and employees from and against any and all loss, damage, liability, claims, demands, detriments, costs, charges and expenses (including attorney's fees) and causes of action of whatsoever character which City may incur, sustain or be subjected to on account of loss or damage to property or loss of use thereof, or for bodily injury to or death of any persons arising out of or in any way connected with the encroachment.

An agreement to reimburse the City of Santa Barbara for any costs incurred by the City to repair damage, restore premises, or satisfy claims incurred by reason of the encroachment.

A policy or policies of public liability insurance to protect against loss from liability for damages on account of bodily injury and property damage arising from the encroachment. Such insurance shall name on the policy or by endorsement as additional insureds, the City of Santa Barbara, its officers, employees, and agents. Unless otherwise modified by the City's Risk Manager, such insurance shall include not less than one million dollars of comprehensive general liability insurance, including bodily injury and property damage coverage together with such other and additional coverage as the City's Risk Manager may determine to be prudent. Insurance coverage must be maintained for the duration of the encroachment. A copy of the policy or a certificate of insurance along with all necessary endorsements must be filed with the City no less than five days before the encroachment permit is issued, unless the Director, for good cause, waives the filing deadline.

Except when otherwise authorized by this Code or a permit issued by the Public Works Director, any item placed or left in the through pedestrian zone of a sidewalk as defined in Section 22.44.005(B)(6)(c) of this Code in a manner that interferes with the unobstructed use of the sidewalk is a public nuisance subject to immediate removal or impoundment by any employee of the Public Works Department.

In the event any property of any description, except a vehicle, whether an animal or other obstruction, shall be found existing, standing, parked, erected or lying in or upon any part of any public street, avenue, alley, sidewalk, thoroughfare, parkway, park or other public place within the City in violation of and contrary to any of the rules, regulations and ordinances of the City that are in effect, it is hereby declared to be a nuisance, and may be removed and conveyed by or under the direction of the Community Development Director, Public Works Director or a member of the Police Department, or a duly constituted agent thereof, to a designated place of impounding, to be kept until redeemed or sold as provided in this chapter.

A vehicle or part thereof which is completely enclosed within a building in a lawful manner where it is not visible from the street or other public or private property; or

A vehicle or part thereof which is stored or parked in a lawful manner on private property in connection with the business of a licensed dismantler, licensed vehicle dealer, a junk dealer, or when such storage or parking is necessary to the operation of a lawfully conducted business or commercial enterprise.

Upon request by the owner of the vehicle or owner of the land received by the City Administrator within 10 days after the mailing of the notices of intention to abate and remove, a public hearing shall be held by the City Council on the question of abatement and removal of the vehicle or parts thereof as an abandoned, wrecked, dismantled or inoperative vehicle, and the assessment of the administrative costs and the cost of removal of the vehicle or parts thereof against the property on which it is located.

If the owner of the land submits a sworn written statement denying responsibility for the presence of the vehicle on his or her land within such 10-day period, said statement shall be construed as a request for a hearing which does not require his or her presence. Notice of the hearing shall be mailed, by registered or certified mail, at least 10 days before the hearing to the owner of the land and to the owner of the vehicle, unless the vehicle is in such condition that identification numbers are not available to determine ownership. If such a request for hearing is not received within said 10 days after mailing of the notice of intention to abate and remove, the City shall have the authority to abate and remove the vehicle or parts thereof as a public nuisance without holding a public hearing.

All hearings under this chapter shall be held before the City Council which shall hear all facts and testimony it deems pertinent. The facts and testimony may include testimony on the condition of the vehicle or parts thereof and the circumstances concerning its location on the private property or public property. The City Council shall not be limited by the technical rules of evidence. The owner of the land on which the vehicle is located may appear in person at the hearing or present a written statement in time for consideration at the hearing, and deny responsibility for the presence of the vehicle on the land, with his or her reasons for such denial.

The City Council may impose such conditions and take such other actions as it deems appropriate under the circumstances to carry out the purpose of this chapter. It may delay the time for removal of the vehicle or parts thereof if, in its opinion, the circumstances justify it. At the conclusion of the public hearing, the City Council may find that a vehicle or parts thereof has been abandoned, wrecked, dismantled, or is inoperative on private or public property and order the same removed from the property as a public nuisance and disposed of as hereinafter provided and determine the administrative costs and the cost of removal to be charged against the owner of the land. The order requiring removal shall include a description of the vehicle or parts thereof and the correct identification number and license number of the vehicle, if available at the site.

If it is determined at the hearing that the vehicle was placed on the land without the consent of the owner of the land and that he or she has not subsequently acquiesced in its presence, the City Council shall not assess the costs of administration or removal of the vehicle against the property upon which the vehicle is located or otherwise attempt to collect such costs from such owner of the land.

If the owner of the land submits a sworn written statement denying responsibility for the presence of the vehicle on his or her land but does not appear, or if an interested party makes a written presentation to the City Council but does not appear, he or she shall be notified in writing of the decision.

Proceedings may be taken hereunder for such further acquisition or improvement of public parking facilities for the district and the issuance of bonds therefor as provided in this chapter. Any such proceedings may be initiated by the Council. The procedure specified in this chapter for the formation of a district and the issuance of bonds shall be followed so far as applicable; provided, however, that the acquisitions and improvements finally ordered to be made must be ones which the Council, following the hearing, finds to be of benefit to the district as originally formed or modified by annexation proceedings theretofore or concurrently conducted.

Any bonds issued to finance additional public parking facilities for the district may in part be secured by revenues from facilities acquired with the proceeds of bonds previously issued, to the extent that the allocation and pledge of such revenues to payment of the additional bonds is not prohibited by the resolution providing for the bonds previously issued. The revenues from such additional facilities may be used to pay principal and interest on bonds previously issued to the extent authorized by the resolution providing for the issuance of the bonds issued for such additional facilities.

The Council may by resolution provide for the issuance of bonds of the district in an amount not exceeding the amount estimated to be necessary to make the proposed acquisitions and improvements, to pay the incidental expenses in connection therewith and the proceedings therefor and to establish a reserve fund for the payment of the principal of and interest on the bonds, and for working capital and interest during the period of construction and for a period of not to exceed 12 months thereafter, less any amount to be contributed by the city for such purposes, all as set forth in the report pursuant to Section 10.70.130.

When bonds are to be issued in any proceeding had and taken in connection with any project, pursuant to this chapter, the same shall be issued, paid and collected in accordance with Sections 10.70.650 to 10.70.680, inclusive.

A special fund, to be appropriately identified with the project and in this chapter called the "bond fund," shall be created and maintained for each issue of bonds. If special assessments or charges or both are levied to pay the annual costs of maintenance and operation of the project, a special fund, to be appropriately identified with the project and in this chapter called the "maintenance fund" shall also be created and maintained for such project.

All moneys pledged and assigned or contributed to the payment of the bonds and the interest thereon, and all special assessments and assessments levied to pay the bonds and the interest thereon, as hereinafter provided, shall be deposited in the bond fund for such issue, shall constitute a trust fund therefor, and shall not be expended for any other purpose. The proceeds of all annual special assessments levied to pay the costs of maintenance and operation of the project, together with any other moneys appropriated or contributed for such purposes, including without limitation charges levied under article III shall be deposited in the maintenance fund, shall constitute a trust fund therefor and be applied solely to such purposes.

That the bonds shall state in substance that

That maintenance and operation of the parking places shall be provided, and for the fixing and collecting of rentals, fees and charges for the availability or use of parking facilities, for the establishment of a maintenance fund and a bond fund into which all revenues derived from the operation of the parking facilities shall be placed, for the use of moneys in the respective funds, for payment of the expenses of operating and maintaining the parking places, for the payment of the bonds and the interest thereon, or for the establishment and maintenance of any reserve funds, sinking funds or other funds designed for securing or paying the bonds and the interest thereon;

Restrictions on the operation by the city or the district of other facilities for the public parking of motor vehicles which would compete with the facilities, the revenues of which are pledged to the payment of the bonds and the interest thereon;

Provisions not inconsistent with this chapter, which are necessary or desirable to carry out its intent and purpose;

That the provisions of the resolution shall constitute covenants for the benefit and protection of the holders of the bonds, and any holder may enforce the covenants by mandamus or other appropriate remedy;

That the proceeds of the sale of the bonds shall be placed in the city treasury to the credit of the proper district fund and applied exclusively to the objects and purposes for which the same were issued;

That the proceeds may be used to pay the interest on the bonds during the period of construction of any parking place and for a period of 12 months thereafter, except that the total period during which interest is paid from the proceeds shall not exceed three years from the date of the bonds;

That when the acquisitions and improvements have been accomplished, any unexpended bond proceeds shall be placed in the bond fund for the payment or securing of the principal and interest of the bonds, or may be used to pay the cost of additional acquisitions and improvements for the district, and expenses incidental thereto, pursuant to change and modification proceedings; and

That after the bonds and all interest thereon have been fully paid, or prior thereto to the extent permitted by express provision of the resolution providing for the issuance of the bonds, all revenues derived from the operation of the parking places and not required for the operation and maintenance of the parking places may be used for the further improvement of the parking places for the benefit of the district, as the Council may decide. Any excess revenues shall be paid into the general fund of the city or the fees and charges reduced so that there will be no excessive revenue.

The city may provide for the issuance of the bonds for the purpose of refunding any bonds of the city then outstanding including the payment of any redemption premiums thereof and any interest accrued or to accrue to the earliest or subsequent date of redemption, purchase, or maturity of such bonds, and, if deemed advisable by the city, for the additional purpose of paying all or any part of the cost of additional off-street parking facilities.

The proceeds of refunding bonds issued pursuant to this section may in the discretion of the city, be applied to the purchase or retirement at maturity or redemption of outstanding bonds, either at their earliest or any subsequent redemption date or upon the purchase or retirement at the maturity thereof and, pending such application, that portion of the proceeds allocated for such purpose may be placed in escrow, to be applied to such purchase or retirement at maturity or redemption on such date, as may be determined by the city. Pending use for purchase, retirement at maturity, or redemption of outstanding bonds, any proceeds held in such an escrow may be invested and reinvested as provided in the resolution authorizing the issuance of the refunding bonds. Any interest or other increment earned or realized on any such investment may also be applied to the payment of the outstanding bonds to be refunded. After the terms of the escrow have been fully satisfied and carried out, any balance of such proceeds and any interest or increment earned or realized from the investment thereof may be returned to the city to be used by it for any lawful purpose. That portion of the proceeds of any bonds issued pursuant to this section which is designated for the purpose of paying all or any part of the cost of additional off-street parking places may be invested and reinvested in obligations of, or guaranteed by, the United States of America or in certificates of deposit or time deposits secured by obligations of, or guaranteed by, the United States of America, maturing not later than the time or times when such proceeds will be needed for the purpose of paying all or any part of such cost.

All bonds issued pursuant to this section shall be subject to the provisions of this chapter in the same manner and to the same extent as other bonds issued pursuant to this chapter.

The balance of the amount provided in subsection A of this section, together with the amount necessary to pay any and all costs and expenses of maintaining and operating the parking places then due or thereafter to accrue before the proceeds of another levy shall be available therefor.

The Director of Public Works shall annually prepare a report and an assessment roll apportioning and distributing the amount provided in subsection F of Section 10.70.700, including adequate provision for anticipated delinquencies, as a special benefit assessment on all real property within the district.

The annual apportionment of said amount in the report shall be in accordance with the formula set forth in the report provided in Section 10.70.130 and confirmed by the Council pursuant to Section 10.70.140.

When any court of competent jurisdiction or the Council, of its own volition, determines that any levy of special assessment pursuant to this chapter is void, invalid or unenforceable for any reason, or any court, for any reason, enjoins the collection of any such special assessment, the Council may levy a reassessment.

The engineer's report on reassessment shall be prepared and filed on order of the Council, notice given, hearing held and reassessment levied and confirmed, all in the same manner as the original special assessment, as nearly as may be, except that the formula to be used in the determination of benefits or the properties subject to special assessment, or both, may be other and different from that provided in the original report, if required in order to be consistent with the determinations and orders of the Council and/or court.

The reassessment shall be collected in the same manner as the original special assessment, except that it is levied too late for inclusion in regular city tax bills, it shall be collected on special bills to be prepared and mailed and collected in the same manner as regular tax bills. Section 10.70.850 shall apply just as if regular city tax bills were used.

The reassessment provisions of this section are alternative to the reassessment provisions elsewhere contained in this chapter.
