Monterey Municipal Code § 20-112 When parking toward curb required

Whenever the Traffic Engineer determines that it is necessary, in order to prevent damage to parking meters, signs, landscaping or other public property, or for the efficient and safe operation of any municipal parking lot, area, garage or other parking facility, that vehicles be parked so that the front of such vehicles is toward the curb, barrier, line or other designation of the end of a parking space, he shall cause notices to be posted advising that all vehicles are to be parked forward.

When such notices are in place, it shall be unlawful to park any vehicle in a designated parking space except with the front bumper of the vehicle within 12 inches of the curb, barrier, line or other designation of the end of such space. This regulation shall apply only to angle or perpendicular parking spaces having only one end marking. (Ord. 3424 § 8, 2009)

It shall be unlawful for any operator of a motor vehicle to move such vehicle or allow or permit others to move such vehicle within a municipal parking lot or to remove such vehicle from such lot and immediately return to the lot or allow or permit others to do so for the purpose of parking in excess of the established time limits. This regulation shall be applicable in municipal parking lots, or areas within municipal parking lots, where the City Council has established time zones of two hours or less pursuant to Sections 20-77 through 20-80, inclusive, or Section 29-94.
