Carpinteria Municipal Code Ch. 8.32 Repair or Dismantling of Vehicles

No person shall repair or dismantle in the open in any of the districts of the city zoned for residential purposes, any automobile, boat or other combustion engine-powered vehicle or conveyance without having first obtained a permit to do so. Application shall be made to the city manager on a form provided for such purpose. Applicant shall furnish to the city manager all of the following information: Name of applicant, applicant's address, address at which dismantling or repair will be done, written consent of the owner of premises where different from address of applicant, description of conveyance to be dismantled or repaired, statement of work to be done, estimated time necessary to complete work. All applications shall be referred to the chief of the Carpinteria-Summerland Fire Protection District for approval prior to the granting of any permit. Where such work can be done without creating a police problem or a fire hazard, a permit shall be granted for the doing of work described in the application. The permit so granted shall specify the time period in which the work shall be accomplished, which shall not be more than fifteen days. Work shall be completed within the time limit specified in the permit, or any extension granted for reasonable cause shown. Upon completion of the work authorized and within the permit period, the applicant shall clear the site of all debris, oil, grease, gasoline, paints, lacquer, or other combustible or inflammable material, and leave it in such a condition that no hazard to persons or property shall be allowed to remain. Applicants for dismantling or repair permits shall be required as a condition to the granting of the permit, to sign a waiver authorizing the police department to remove and store at owner's expense, any conveyance and/or the parts thereof where dismantling or repair is not completed within the time granted therefor. The term "repair" as used in this chapter shall not be deemed to include minor adjustments or the replacement of parts when such adjustments or replacements of parts may reasonably be expected to be accomplished with an eight-hour period. No permit shall be required for such minor adjustments or replacements.
