A. Whenever the Municipal Services Director finds, on the basis of falling snow, sleet, or freezing rain, or on the basis of a forecast by the U.S. Weather Bureau of snow, sleet, or freezing rain, that weather conditions will make it necessary that motor vehicle traffic be expedited and that parking on city streets be prohibited or restricted for snow plowing and other purposes, the Municipal Services Director shall put into effect a parking prohibition on parts of or all streets as necessary by declaring it in a manner prescribed by this chapter.

B. Once in effect, a prohibition under this section shall remain in effect until terminated by announcement of the Municipal Services Director in accordance with this chapter, except that any street area which has become substantially clear of snow and ice from curb to curb for the entire length of the block shall be automatically excluded therefrom. While the prohibition is in effect, no person shall park or allow to remain parked any vehicle on any portion of a street to which it applies. However, nothing in this section shall be construed to permit parking at any time or place where it is prohibited by any other provision of law. (Ord. 1223, 1986)
