(a) An operator is responsible for ensuring that its SMVs and SMV users comply with the following requirements:
(1) An SMV must be standing upright when deployed and parked on city property;
(2) An SMV may not be deployed or parked on a sidewalk, street, or highway controlled by the city except in accordance with a valid SMV parking permit;
(3) An SMV may not be parked in a manner that impedes vehicular traffic on a street or highway, or impedes pedestrian traffic on a sidewalk; and
(4) An SMV may not be parked in a manner that obstructs all or a portion of a bus stop, a commercial loading zone, a disabled parking stall or zone, curb ramp, or driveway.
(b) Any SMV deployed or parked in a manner that fails to comply with the requirements in this section must be re-parked or removed by the operator. If the director, an authorized city employee or agent, or a police officer notifies an operator of non-compliance with the requirements in this section, the operator must remedy the non-compliance within four hours of receiving the notice. If the non-compliance is not remedied within such time, the city may remove and store the offending SMV.
