Authority to Designate Parking Spaces. The City Traffic Engineer is hereby authorized to designate and establish parking spaces for the exclusive use of vehicles which display distinguishing license plates or cards issued to physically disabled or handicapped persons. The City Traffic Engineer shall place and maintain appropriate signs which shall be inscribed with the international symbol of accessibility and the words "Handicapped Parking" in white on a blue background and shall indicate such spaces by blue paint on the curb or edge of the paved portion of the street adjacent to the spaces.
Owner or Person in Possession of Public Off-Street Parking May Designate Spaces. The owner or person in lawful possession of a public off-street parking facility may designate reserved parking spaces for the exclusive use of vehicles which display distinguishing license plates or cards issued to physically disabled or handicapped persons, and such spaces shall be as close as possible to the nearest accessible entrance. Such designation shall be made by posting immediately adjacent to and visible from each space a sign as provided in Subsection (A) of this Section.
Design of Spaces. Spaces designated for use by vehicles displaying the distinguishing "disabled" license plate issued pursuant to RSMo., Sections 301.071 or 301.142 shall be twelve (12) feet wide or greater or shall be open on one (1) or both sides so as not to impede the safe ingress and egress of the disabled person.
Limitations on Parking Privileges. The owner or operator of any vehicle bearing and properly displaying a valid distinguishing license plate or card issued pursuant to RSMo., Section 301.071 or 301.142, or a valid duly registered equivalent license plate or card issued by the State or County or other place where the owner is a resident, if the owner of such vehicle is a non-resident of this State, shall be entitled to park that vehicle for a period of time not to exceed four (4) hours on streets or portions thereof where parking time is limited. It shall be unlawful for the owner or operator of such vehicle to park on streets or portions thereof where or during the hours parking is prohibited.
Towing of Violators. The owner or person in lawful possession of a public off-street parking facility and the City owning or operating a public off-street parking facility may, after notifying the local Police or Sheriff's Department, cause the removal of any vehicle not displaying a distinguishing license plate or card on which is inscribed the international symbol of accessibility and the word "disabled," issued pursuant to RSMo., Section 301.142, or a "disabled veteran" license plate, issued pursuant to RSMo., Section 301.071, or a distinguishing license plate or card issued by any other State from a space designated for physically disabled persons if there is posted immediately adjacent to and readily visible from such space or in a conspicuous place at each entrance to the public off-street parking facility a sign not less than seventeen (17) inches by twenty-two (22) inches in size with lettering not less than one (1) inch in height which clearly and conspicuously states the following: "Unauthorized vehicles parked in spaces reserved for physically disabled persons and not displaying distinguishing cards or license plates issued for physically disabled persons will be towed away at owner's expense. Towed vehicles may be reclaimed directly or by telephoning 816/539-2148."
Restricted Use of Spaces. Whenever authorized signs are erected designating an area for handicapped parking, no person shall stop a vehicle within that marked area unless the vehicle bears and properly displays a valid distinguishing license plate or card issued pursuant to RSMo., Section 301.071 or 301.142 or, if the owner of such vehicle is a non-resident of this State, a valid duly registered equivalent license plate or card issued by the State, County or other place where the owner is a resident.
[Ord. No. 1244 §VII (660.380), 4-3-1989]
In any prosecution charging a violation of any law or regulation governing the standing or parking of a vehicle, proof that the particular vehicle described in the complaint was parked in violation of any such law or regulation, together with proof that the defendant named in the complaint was at that time of the parking either the registered owner or the lessee of the vehicle, shall constitute in evidence a prima facie presumption that the registered owner or lessee of the vehicle was the person who parked or placed the vehicle at the point where, and for the time during which, the violation occurred.
The foregoing stated presumption shall apply only when the procedure as prescribed in Sections 375.030 and 375.040 has been followed.
[Ord. No. 1244 §VII (660.390), 4-3-1989]
There shall be no liability on the owner-lessor of a motor vehicle when the vehicle is being permissibly used by a lessee and is illegally parked or operated if the registered owner-lessor of such vehicle furnishes the name, address and operator's license number of the person renting or leasing the vehicle at the time the violation occurred to the Municipal Court Clerk within three (3) working days from the time of receipt of written request for such information. Any registered owner-lessor who fails or refuses to provide such information within the period required by this Section shall be liable for the imposition of any fine established by municipal ordinance for the violation. Provided however, if a leased motor vehicle is illegally parked due to a defect in such vehicle, which renders it inoperable, not caused by the fault or neglect of the lessee, then the lessor shall be liable on any violation for illegal parking of such vehicle.
