Summary
Bostonia follows San Diego County Code 72.122: no vehicle may be parked on any street or alley for more than 72 consecutive hours. Moving it under half a mile does not restart the clock.
No person who owns or has possession, custody or control of any vehicle shall park such vehicle upon any street or alley for more than a consecutive period of 72 hours. A vehicle shall be considered to have been parked for a consecutive period of 72 hours if it has not been moved at least five tenths (.5) of a mile from its original parked (stopped) location within the preceding 72 hour period.
Full Breakdown
Because Bostonia is unincorporated, street parking is governed by the San Diego County Code, not a city code. Section 72.122 states no person shall park a vehicle 'upon any street or alley for more than a consecutive period of 72 hours,' and a vehicle counts as parked the full 72 hours 'if it has not been moved at least five tenths (.5) of a mile from its original parked (stopped) location within the preceding 72 hour period.' Enforcement is by the San Diego County Sheriff, who may remove the vehicle under Vehicle Code sections 22651 and 22652.
Violations & Fines
The Sheriff or Highway Patrol may remove a vehicle parked over 72 hours under Vehicle Code 22651/22652; the owner pays tow and storage fees.
