§ 10-5.6. Taxicab and Sight-Seeing Bus Stands.  


Latest version.
  • The Chief of Police may, upon the written application of any taxicab, automobile-for-hire, or sight-seeing bus owner, permit such owner to allow any vehicle operated by him to stand at certain places designated for the owner, while awaiting employment. Such application shall state the number and kind of vehicles 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 such vehicle shall stand in front of the premises either owned or occupied by him or in which he is otherwise interested. Not more than two (2) such vehicles shall be permitted to stand upon either side of a street within the limits of any one (1) block. No permit shall be issued for any stand to be located within fifty (50°) feet of another such stand on the same side of any street, nor shall more than two (2) stands be granted to any owner for each licensed public motor vehicle. No owner shall permit any vehicle operated by him and no driver shall cause any such vehicle to stand while awaiting employment at any place on a public street other than a stand for which a permit has been granted to such owner as herein provided; and no more than one (1) such vehicle shall be so permitted or caused to stand in any one (1) stand at any time.
