INTERPRETATION #: CI‐156
MUNICIPAL
CODE SECTIONS: RMC 4‐4‐085, Parking of Vehicles on Residential Property
REFERENCE: N/A
SUBJECT: Enforcement of Violations of RMC 4‐4‐085
BACKGROUND: Recently adopted Ordinance 5959 established rules related to the parking
of vehicles on residential property. The Ordinance identifies violations of
the code to be misdemeanors. Existing code in chapter 1‐3 RMC states
that when Code Compliance staff determine a violation exists they may
initiate an enforcement action in one of many ways (i.e., criminal
prosecution of a misdemeanor is just one way) (See RMC 1‐3‐2.C).
DECISION: RMC 4‐4‐085 shall be amended to state that violations of that Section are
enforceable by chapter 1‐3 RMC.
JUSTIFICATION: Pursuant to chapter 1‐3 RMC, Code Compliance staff have the discretion
to determine the most appropriate means of enforcement based on their
judgment and experience.
