A. RECITALS
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR, CALIFORNIA, HEREBY FINDS AND

1. The primary purpose for parking at City facilities is to provide a place where persons can
temporarily park their vehicles in order to access programs and services during a facility's hours of
operation.
2. City -owned parking lots are not intended to be locations where persons can leave their
vehicles parked overnight or for parking for non -City purpose.
3. Keeping City -owned parking lots free of vehicles during hours in which no City business
is conducted at the City facility will enhance building security.
Now, therefore, the City Council of the City of Diamond Bar does ordain as follows:
Section 1. Section 10.16.215 is added to the Diamond Bar Municipal Code to provide as follows:
No person shall stop, stand or park any vehicle on any City -owned parking lot between the hours
of 2:00 am and 5:00 am. The City Engineer shall erect and maintain adequate signs on City -owned
parking lots specifying the limitations on the time of parking. Nothing in this section shall apply to
government owned vehicles operated by the City, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department or any
other emergency responders. Those in violation of this section may be issued a parking citation."
Section 2. Severability. If any section, clause, phrase, word or portion of this Ordinance is, for
any reason, held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction,
such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Ordinance. The City Council
hereby declares that it would have adopted this Ordinance and each other section, clause, phrase,
word or portion thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, subdivisions,
sentences, clauses, phrases, words or portions thereof be declared invalid or unconstitutional.
