Loomis Municipal Code Ch. 8.08 Parking

A. It is unlawful for any person who owns or has possession, custody or control of any vehicle, including a boat or trailer, to park or leave such vehicle upon any street, alley or public parking facility in the town for a period of seventy-two consecutive hours or more. For the purposes of this section, a vehicle shall be considered to have been parked or left standing for seventy-two or more consecutive hours if it has remained inoperable or has not been moved at least one-half mile during the seventy-two-hour period. An inoperable vehicle is a vehicle that cannot be moved under its own power or a vehicle which cannot operate legally and safely on the highways of the state. If visible, the mileage reflected on the odometer of the vehicle shall be presumed to be an accurate indication of the distance that the vehicle has or has not been moved. Obstruction of the odometer of the vehicle will result in a presumption that the vehicle has not been moved. Absent any presumption, the totality of the circumstances, including, but not limited to, tire markings, vegetation and vehicle condition, shall be considered in determining whether the vehicle has or has not been moved.

B. In the event a vehicle is parked or left standing upon a street, alley or public parking facility in excess of a consecutive period of seventy-two hours, any regularly employed and salaried officer of the sheriff department or employee of the town engaged in directing traffic or enforcing parking laws of the town may issue a citation or remove or cause to be removed the vehicle within forty-eight hours of issuing the citation from the street, alley or public parking facility in the manner and subject to the requirements of the California Vehicle Code.

C. After any vehicle has been removed from a street, alley or public parking facility, the vehicle's registered and legal owners of record shall be given the opportunity for a post-removal hearing to determine the validity of the storage pursuant to the California Vehicle Code.

D. Recreational Vehicle Parking. Recreational vehicles, trailers, boats, boat or personal watercraft trailers, or any combination thereof may be parked upon a public street, public facility or public right-of-way in accordance with all posted regulations and in a safe manner for a maximum of seventy-two consecutive hours for loading, unloading, cleaning, and routine maintenance and repair purposes. The seventy-two-hour loading and unloading periods shall not occur more than two times in any fourteen-day period on any public street, portion thereof, or right-of-way and shall not be consecutive.
