Editor's note

Prior to its reenactment by Ord. No. 98-11, § 12, adopted Feb. 26, 1998, § 62-1941 was deleted by Ord. No. 95-49, § 17, adopted Oct. 19, 1995. The former § 62-1941 pertained to off-site parking separated by public road right-of-way and derived from § 14-20.16.2(B)(40) of the 1979 Code.
