San Fernando Municipal Code Div. 5 Stands

It shall be unlawful for the operator of any taxicab or vehicle for hire to stand or park the taxicab or vehicle upon any public street or other public place or on any private property within the city while awaiting employment except in spaces or stands set apart for that purpose. However, nothing contained in this section shall prevent any taxicab or vehicle for hire from parking on private property if the owner of the private property gives permission in writing and a copy of such written permission is filed with the chief of police. Further, nothing contained in this section shall prevent any taxicab or vehicle for hire from parking in spaces legally available for other passenger vehicles or on any private property when the taxicab or vehicle for hire is out of service. No owner or driver may allow a taxicab to remain unattended in a stand for longer than five minutes.

(Code 1957, § 26.57)

Jurisdiction to issue permits for taxicab stands or places shall be vested in the city council. All permits shall be revocable at the pleasure of the city council, and all applications therefor shall be referred to the administrative officer for his recommendation. The city council shall not grant a taxicab stand permit without taking into consideration the need for such stand by the applicant and the convenience of the general public and shall not grant such stand where it would tend to create a traffic hazard. Such permits shall not be transferable. Each holder of a certificate of public convenience and necessity issued pursuant to this article shall maintain at least one public street taxicab stand. The city council may, in its discretion, hold a public hearing to consider the location of and number of taxicab stand permits to be granted within the city.

(Code 1957, § 26.58)

The location of a taxicab stand may not be changed unless a written application for such a change is submitted to the council with a fee of $15.00 and a transfer permit is issued by the council.

(Code 1957, § 26.59)

For each permit for a taxicab stand or parking space or place upon any public street or other public place, the owner of the taxicab company using the space shall pay to the city an annual fee of $40.00.

(Code 1957, § 26.60)

It shall be unlawful for the operator of any other vehicle to park in a taxicab or vehicle for hire space or stand.

(Code 1957, § 26.61)
