14-7 Unattended Motor Vehicles

A.    It shall be unlawful to park or leave any vehicle, including any recreation vehicle and trailer with a combined length greater than 20 feet, standing for a period longer than 72 hours upon a street right of way adjacent to any property. The fact that the position of such vehicle is moved for the primary purpose of avoiding the 72-hour limitation, or the vehicle is moved away for any period of fewer than four (4) hours, shall be ignored in determining whether a vehicle has remained parked in front of any premises for 72 hours. This provision shall not apply to a vehicle owned or leased by the owner or occupant of an abutting property.

B.    Vehicles parked left standing or stopped in violation of this section are hereby declared to be a nuisance which may be abated in accordance with law. In addition, such vehicles shall be considered abandoned and may be impounded and disposed of in accordance with provisions of the Ouray Municipal Code and state law.
