§ 5.64.120. Taxicab stands.

Upon their approval of the written application, the Traffic Engineer shall designate throughout the City open places to permit any taxicab to stand while awaiting employment. Such application shall state the number of taxicabs for which the permit is sought and the proposed location of such stands. Such application must be accompanied by the written consent of the person primarily affected by reason of the fact that the taxicabs shall stand in front of the premises either owned or occupied by him or her or in which he or she is otherwise interested. Not more than three taxicabs shall be permitted to stand upon either side of a street within the limits of any one block unless otherwise designated by the traffic engineer. No permit shall be issued for any stand to be located within 75 feet of another such stand on the same side of the street unless otherwise designated by the traffic engineer. No fleet manager shall permit any vehicle operated by him or her and no driver shall cause any such vehicle to stand while awaiting employment in any place other than a stand designated by the Traffic Engineer. It is unlawful for the driver of any vehicle, other than a driver of a taxicab to park or leave standing such vehicle in any taxicab stand. The Traffic Engineer shall identify all such stands with a posted distinctive sign, identifying the space and shall have the curb adjacent to the stand painted white. The cost of taxi stand identification and maintenance shall be determined by Traffic Maintenance and established in the master fee schedule, prorated over the total number of vehicle permits, and collected in the annual vehicle permit process.
