the vehicle advertising such vehicle for sale is prohibited. The owner of such
vehicle commits an offense by parking or allowing the parking of such vehicle
displaying such advertising that violates this Section. Such owner shall be
presumed to have parked or allowed the vehicle to be parked with such
advertising.
(b) It is a defense to prosecution under this Section if:
(1) the vehicle is offered for sale upon developed real property where the
city's zoning ordinance permits the sale of vehicles of the same type or
(2) no more than one vehicle is displayed for sale on a paved surface of
private residential property occupied by the owner of such vehicle and no

(c) The Chief of Police, Consumer Health Inspector, the Code Enforcement Officer
and their designated representatives and any other employee of the City
authorized by the City Manager are each authorized to administer and enforce
the provisions of this Section, including the issuance of citations.
(d) The owner of any vehicle found parked in violation of this Section shall be
deemed to have committed an offense and a citation shall be issued and
