As used in this article, the following terms shall have the
meanings indicated:
Any building, structure, premises, enclosure, or other place
where the business of doing repair work on or for motor vehicles or
any of the component parts thereof, the replacing of or the adding
of parts thereto, or the polishing, washing, greasing, painting or
refinishing of such vehicles is carried on.
(A)
No person shall engage in the business of a motor vehicle repair
shop without first having obtained a license therefor.
The annual fee shall be $50. The licensee shall pay an additional lee based upon the square footage of the business premises as prescribed by § 11.16.
(A)
No motor vehicle repair shop shall be conducted or operated within
200 feet of any building used as a hospital, church, or public or
parochial school, or the grounds thereof.
(B)
No person shall construct, conduct or operate any motor vehicle repair
shop in the City on any lot in any block in which 2/3 of the buildings
on both sides of the street are used exclusively for residence purposes,
or within 100 feet of any such street in any such block without the
written consent of a majority of the property owners according to
frontage on both sides of the street; provided that all lots which
abut only on a public alley or court shall be considered as fronting
on the street to which such alley or court leads. Such written consents
shall be obtained and filed with the Building Commissioner before
a license is issued for the operation of any motor vehicle repair
shop; in any existing building, in determining whether 2/3 of the
buildings on both sides of such street are used exclusively for residence
purposes, any building fronting upon another street and located upon
a corner lot shall not be considered. The word "block," as used in
this section, shall be held not to mean a square, but shall be held
to embrace only that part of the street in question which lies between
the two nearest intersecting streets.
It shall be unlawful for any person to do any of the following:
(A)
To retain in his possession for a period longer than 10 days, without
the written consent of the owner, any electric storage battery upon
which the word "rental" or any other word, mark, or character is printed,
painted, or stamped, or to which any such word, mark, or character
is attached for the purpose of identifying said electric storage battery
as belonging to or being the property of any person.
(B)
To recharge, without the consent of the owner, except in cases of
emergency, any such rental battery.
(C)
To sell, dispose of, deliver, or give, or attempt to sell, dispose
of, deliver, or give to any person other than the owner thereof any
such rental battery.
It shall be unlawful to store or park damaged vehicles or junked
vehicles in any open lot or premises open to the public view.
