St. Helena Municipal Code Art. 5 Stands

The chief of police shall, with the consent of the council, designate, in writing, stands upon public streets to be occupied by taxicabs or rent cars, after the permit has been issued as in this chapter provided. (Ord. 02-2 § 5; prior code § 15.31)

Before any designation of stands is made, the written consent must be obtained of the tenant of the ground floor fronting the space where such stand is to be located. In the event the ground floor is not occupied, the written consent of the owner must be first obtained. (Prior code § 15.32)

The stand permit shall specify the name and address of the permittee and the number of vehicles authorized thereunder, and it is unlawful for the owner or operator of any vehicle for hire, other than the permittee, to use the stand designated under such permit, and when such stand is occupied, no other vehicle shall loiter or wait nearby. (Prior code § 15.33)

Any stand designated by the chief of police, as provided in this article, may be revoked by him or her and it is unlawful for any taxicab or rent car to occupy the stand after such revocation. (Prior code § 15.34)

It is unlawful for a taxicab or rent car while awaiting employment to stand on any street or place other than upon a designated stand, nor shall any operator of a taxicab or rent car, while awaiting employment, drive so as to interfere vehicular traffic. (Prior code § 15.35)
