(Ord. 6544 Ch. 3 Art. 3 § 3301, 1954.)

Whenever the board finds that the width of a highway and traffic conditions are such that the parking of vehicles at an angle to the curb instead of parallel to the curb will not impede traffic, and that there is need for the additional parking space which parking at an angle will provide, the commissioner shall indicate at what angle traffic conditions make it desirable that vehicles should be parked by placing parallel white lines on the surface of the roadway. On such portions of such highways, whether such lines were painted before or after the effective date of the ordinance codified in this Division 1, an operator shall not stop, stand or park any vehicle except between, at the angle indicated by, and parallel to both such adjacent white lines, with the nearest wheel not more than one foot from the curb.

(Ord. 6544 Ch. 3 Art. 3 § 3303, 1954.)

(Ord. 6544 Ch. 3 Art. 3, § 3109, 1954.)

Whenever the board finds that the parking of vehicles, with a height of six feet or more, within 100 feet of an intersection, creates a visibility limitation resulting in a potential traffic hazard, the director shall erect signs or markings stating that the parking of vehicles with a height of six feet or more is prohibited within 100 feet of an intersection.

(Ord. 85-0185 § 1, 1986.)

(Ord. 2024-0064 § 2, 2024.)

A.

For purposes of this section:

A motor vehicle is attended when the person in charge of the vehicle is on the vehicle, awake, and not in a sleeper berth, or is within 100 feet of the vehicle and has it within his unobstructed field of view.

A qualified representative of a motor carrier is a person who:

a.

Has been designated by the carrier to attend the vehicle;

b.

Is aware of the nature of the hazardous material or substance contained in the vehicle he attends;

c.

Has been instructed on the procedures he must follow in emergencies concerning hazardous materials or substances;

d.

Is authorized to move the vehicle and has the means and ability to do so.

B.

A vehicle transporting a hazardous material or substance as identified in Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations must be attended at all times by its driver or a qualified representative of the motor carrier that operates it, and shall not be parked on any highway, highway shoulder, street, alley, public way or public place, or within five feet of the traveled portion thereof, within a residential zone, or within 1,000 feet of any school, or within 300 feet of any bridge or tunnel, except for brief periods when mechanical or equipment failure or disablement or malfunction of the vehicle, or the necessities of operation require the vehicle to be parked and make it impractical to park the vehicle in any other place.

C.

Repair, maintenance, refuse, utility, termite and pesticide vehicles, fuel delivery vehicles, and vehicles delivering life support and health commodities, while servicing residential areas or schools, are exempt from the provisions of subsection B of this section. Additionally, such exempt vehicles need not be attended while the drivers are performing duties that are evident and necessary as the operator of the vehicle or the provider of the service.

D.

The rules of this section do not relieve a driver from any obligation imposed by federal, state or local laws relating to the transportation of hazardous materials or explosives, motor carrier safety regulations, or the placement of warning signs or devices when a motor vehicle is stopped on a public street or highway.

(Ord. 12064, 1980: Ord. 6544 Ch. 3 Art. 1 § 3120, 1954.)

A.

A person shall not park any vehicle in front of a driveway on a private street which is open to the public.

B.

This section does not prohibit any action prohibited by Section 22500 of the Vehicle Code or by any other state law.

(Ord. 11407 § 5, 1976: Ord. 7843 § 2 (part), 1960: Ord. 6881 § 2 (part), 1956: Ord. 6544 Ch. 3 Art. 1 § 3106, 1954.)

An operator may park within an intersection adjacent to the curb if the board finds, pursuant to Section 22500 of the California Vehicle Code, that the width of the highway and traffic conditions are such that such parking will not constitute a traffic hazard or impede the free flow of traffic.

(Ord. 7843 § 2 (part), 1960: Ord. 6544 Ch. 3 Art. 1 § 3105, 1954.)

B.

Subject to California Vehicle Code Section 22504(c), school buses owned by, or operated under contract for, a public school district may stop in front of public or private driveways on residential and collector streets for the loading and unloading of

passengers pursuant to California Vehicle Code Section 22500. This provision does not apply to secondary or major highways.

(Ord. 95-0035 § 1, 1995.)

A.

The County of Los Angeles has experienced a proliferation of used vehicles being parked or left idle on public streets and in parking lots of County park facilities for the purpose of advertising or displaying such vehicles for sale, resulting in a negative impact on the County, its residents, and businesses.

B.

The California courts have ruled that a city or county may reasonably regulate the time, place, and manner in which its public streets and its lands are used for the sale of vehicles.

C.

The California legislature enacted section 22651.9 of the California Vehicle Code ("CVC") authorizing cities and counties to remove and impound vehicles with "for sale" signs from designated streets or public lands.

D.

CVC section 22651.9(a) authorizes the removal and impoundment of vehicles when all of the following requirements are met:

Because of a sign or placard on the vehicle, it appears that the primary purpose of parking the vehicle at that location is to advertise to the public the private sale of that vehicle;

Within the past 30 days, the vehicle is known to have been previously issued a notice of parking violation, under local ordinance, which was accompanied by a notice containing all of the following:

a)

A warning that an additional parking violation may result in the impoundment of the vehicle;

b)

A warning that the vehicle may be impounded pursuant to CVC section 22651.9, even if moved to another street or location listed in Section 15.64.341 so long as the signs or placards offering the vehicle for sale remain on the vehicle;

c)

A listing of the streets or public lands subject to the regulation or ordinance adopted pursuant to CVC section 22651.9(a)(4);

The notice of parking violation was issued at least 24 hours prior to the removal of the vehicle; and

The local authority of the city, county, or city and county has, by resolution or ordinance, authorized the removal of vehicles pursuant to CVC section 22651.9 from the street or public lands on which the vehicle is located.

E.

The California Department of Motor Vehicles ("DMV") conducted a survey of its eight DMV Investigation Offices ("DMV Survey") throughout Los Angeles County in August 2010 to document the issues its investigators were seeing in the field related to vehicles parked for purposes of sale on certain streets in the County.

F.

The data gathered from the DMV Survey substantiates the continuing and pervasive problem unlicensed vehicle sales pose to the community, and serves as a sound factual basis for the need to adopt an ordinance to regulate the sales of cars on the public rights-of-way.

G.

The DMV Survey noted significant health and safety issues, dangerous traffic conditions, and additional issues and concerns related to vehicles parked for purposes of sale on certain streets in the County.

H.

In 2015, following complaints of vehicles being offered for sale at County park facilities by unlicensed individuals, the DMV conducted several operations to investigate unlicensed auto dealer activity. This activity included loitering by unlicensed auto dealers who offer for sale vehicles parked and displayed at parking lots of County park facilities. The DMV found that unlicensed activity by new and previously identified unlicensed auto dealers has shifted from major thoroughfares and streets to adjacent County park facilities due to changes in parking regulations and ordinance restrictions enacted by government entities such as the City of Los Angeles.

I.

Based on the DMV Survey results, and subsequent investigation, activity reported by law enforcement, and community complaints, the Board of Supervisors seeks to impose reasonable restrictions prohibiting the parking of vehicles for the primary purpose of advertising or displaying such vehicles for sale upon certain streets and at County park facilities within the unincorporated areas of the County.

J.

The Board of Supervisors finds and determines that the restrictions imposed by this ordinance upon the parking of vehicles upon the designated streets and at County parks for the purpose of advertising or displaying such vehicles for sale are necessary to protect the general health, safety, and welfare of the community, and specifically finds:

The unrestricted parking of vehicles for such commercial purposes causes passing motorists to slow down or stop to obtain information on the signage on the parked vehicles, causes motorists to illegally "double park" next to such vehicles and get out of their cars to examine the vehicles thereby blocking traffic, and encourages jaywalking across streets for prospective buyers to inspect the vehicles, thereby creating dangerous traffic conditions for other motorists and pedestrians alike in the County;

The unrestricted parking of vehicles for such commercial purposes increases the potential for vehicle burglaries and other crimes, stolen vehicle sales, other unlicensed/uninsured/unregulated vehicle activities, attracts illegal street vendors, detrimentally impacts the image of the County, and creates an increased need for police service in the areas of the County in which the parking for sale occurs;

The unrestricted parking of vehicles for such commercial purposes has brought about health hazards to the community due to activities reported by the DMV such as drug and alcohol use, urination in public, and the dumping of trash in the surrounding community, which creates a health hazard and negatively impacts property values;

The unrestricted parking of vehicles for such commercial purposes adversely affects the public welfare as it attracts other illegal activity such as the sale of vehicles to innocent purchasers with mechanical and/or ownership document problems causing harm to the citizens of the County;

The unrestricted parking of vehicles for such commercial purposes detrimentally impacts existing businesses and residences by reducing and/or eliminating the number of parking spaces on public streets which are available to business patrons, residents, occupants, and guests in the vicinity of such parked vehicles;

The unrestricted parking of vehicles for such commercial purposes detrimentally impacts the community by reducing and/or eliminating the number of available parking spaces in parking lots of County park facilities for park visitors;

The unrestricted parking of vehicles for such commercial purposes is being done by individuals who are conducting business without a State dealers' license, thereby undercutting duly-licensed vehicle sales businesses that are in compliance with State law;

The unrestricted parking of vehicles for such commercial purposes negatively impacts the County's infrastructure by requiring additional street and parking lot maintenance and repair by the County Departments of Public Works and Parks and Recreation, as well as additional monitoring by the County Sheriff's Department without the receipt of any County revenue;

As the activity is most prevalent on the more visible, popular, and heavily traveled streets which attract the greatest amount of potential buyers, it is necessary to make restrictions against such parking potentially applicable to all major and secondary highways in order to address possible migration of the activity to various other locations on such highways, as well as to impose such restrictions on other enumerated highway segments; and

As the activity has migrated to other visible and popular areas including without limitation County park facilities which attract potential buyers, it is necessary to make restrictions against such parking applicable to all County park facilities.

K.

The purpose of this ordinance is to narrowly restrict the parking of vehicles for sale at the locations identified in Section 15.64.341 in order to protect the health and safety of the public in general, the interests of duly-licensed vehicle dealers, the interests of businesses and residents located in the vicinity of these streets, and the interests of visitors of County park facilities.

(Ord. 2016-0042 § 1, 2016: Ord. 2011-0037 § 2, 2011)
