This part may be cited as the Parking Law of 1949.
The supplying of additional parking facilities and the
performance of all undertakings incidental or advantageous thereto
are public uses and purposes for which public money may be spent and
private property acquired, and are governmental functions.
This part shall not affect any other provision of law
relating to the same or a similar subject but provides an alternative
method of procedure governing the subject to which it relates; and
it shall not abridge, modify or otherwise affect the right of any
city to exercise any power given to it by the Constitution.
Parking facilities of an authority are subject to the
planning, zoning, sanitary, and building laws, ordinances, and
regulations applicable to the locality in which they are situated. In
the planning and location of any parking facility, an authority is
subject to the relationship of the facility to any officially adopted
master plan or sections of such master plan for the development of
the area in which the authority functions to the same extent as if it
were a private entity.
If any provision of this part, or its application to any
person or circumstance, is held invalid, the remainder of the part,
or the application of such provision to other persons or
circumstances, shall not be affected thereby.
