Butte County Municipal Code Art. XIV Parking on Private Property

* Editor's note—Ord. No. 2368, adopted Aug. 23, 1983, added art. IX to ch. 14, which the editor has redesignated art. XIV in order to maintain proper numerical sequence.

(a) Whenever the county fire warden determines that the public safety in a shopping center or other private lands, where the general public is invited to drive their cars and park for shopping or other purposes, requires that parking must be restricted from some areas to provide adequate access to the general area or to structures for fire protection, the county fire warden may establish certain areas as fire lanes. The fire lanes shall be identified by either the placing of signs or marking of the curb in red.

(b) Any deputy of the Butte County Sheriff's Department, County Fire Warden or Deputy Fire Warden for the County of Butte, police officer, or member of the California Highway Patrol may remove a vehicle which is parked in a designated fire lane.

(Ord. No. 2368, § 1, 8-23-83)

Any person violating any of the provisions of section 14-90 or disobeying any sign or marking installed pursuant thereto shall be punished upon a first conviction by a fine not to exceed fifty dollars ($50.00), and for a second or subsequent conviction within a period of one (1) year, by a fine not to exceed one hundred dollars ($100.00).
