Full Breakdown
Section 66-60 does not ban overnight parking citywide; it names specific streets, parking lots and parks where it is unlawful to park, stand or stop a motor vehicle overnight. E. E. E. E. Fifth Street, East Hillsboro Boulevard's north side near the beach, and named parks including Constitution Park, Westside Park and Sullivan Park. E. E. E. 20th Terrace. Subsection (c) requires the city manager to have signs erected apprising the public of each restricted area, so enforceability depends on posted signage at each location.
Because the section doesn't set its own fine, violations fall under the general parking citation schedule in Sec. 66-41, and a vehicle left unattended on a street for more than 24 hours may be presumed abandoned and towed under Sec. 66-66.
Violations & Fines
Overnight parking in a posted restricted zone is cited under the code's $30 general parking violation schedule in Sec. 66-41(b), with a $15 late fee after ten days and a $35 cumulative penalty after 30 days. A vehicle left unattended on a street continuously for more than 24 hours may be presumed abandoned and towed under Sec. 66-66.
