Full Breakdown
810, dating to Ordinance No. 911 (1982) and amended by Ordinance No. , except on Sundays and holidays. The section lists the exact segments covered: Plumas Street from Colusa Avenue to Bridge Street; Bridge Street from Plumas Street to Second Street; Center Street from Plumas Street to Shasta Street; Teegarden Street from Plumas Street to Rockholt Way; Church Street from Plumas Street to Walnut Street; Forbes Avenue from Plumas Street to Walnut Street; Scott Street from Plumas Street to 517 Scott Street; Second Street from Bridge Street to C Street; and the west side of Shasta Street between the north property line of 666 Shasta Street and Bridge Street, all in the historic downtown core near the Feather River levee.
The 20-minute window lets a driver briefly load or unload overnight, but leaving a vehicle parked longer on a covered block triggers the violation. 801's general signage authority, an unposted block within these limits is not enforceable until signs go up. 809, applies the same posted-sign approach to shorter daytime time-limit zones citywide.
Violations & Fines
A parking-violation notice is issued under Section 4-9.823, which treats overnight-parking violations as a civil parking penalty rather than a criminal offense; the fine amount is set by City Council resolution rather than fixed in the code itself. Officers or trained civilian volunteers appointed under Section 4-9.825 attach the notice to the unattended vehicle, and a person cannot receive both a parking notice and a criminal notice to appear for the same violation.
