[Amended 10-31-2006 by Ord. No. 2006-12]
It shall be unlawful for any person to stop,
park or stand a motor vehicle in a legally designated handicapped
parking space unless such a person is a handicapped person or is transporting
a handicapped person and is using the handicapped parking space for
the benefit of said handicapped person. Any person who shall violate
this section shall be subject to a fine of $250 for the first offense
plus, for subsequent offenses, a fine of at least $250 and up to 90
days of community service on such terms and in such form as the court
shall deem appropriate, or any combination thereof.
Any vehicle illegally parked in a handicapped
parking zone shall be towed to a designated garage when a handicapped
person requests to the police that it be towed. The police, within
their own authority, may have such vehicle towed (all subject to state
statutes). The charges for towing and storing such vehicles shall
be the responsibility of the owner of said vehicle.
This article shall be enforced by the Department
of Police.
