the Vehicle Code.
   (b) (1) Management may not cause the removal of a vehicle from a
homeowner's or resident's driveway or a homeowner's or resident's
designated parking space except if management has first posted on the
windshield of the vehicle a notice stating management's intent to
remove the vehicle in seven days and stating the specific park rule
that the vehicle has violated that justifies its removal.  After the
expiration of seven days following the posting of the notice,
management may remove a vehicle that remains in violation of a rule
for which notice has been posted upon the vehicle.  If a vehicle rule
violation is corrected within seven days after the rule violation
notice is posted on the vehicle, the vehicle may not be removed.  If
a vehicle upon which a rule violation notice has been posted is
removed from the park by a homeowner or resident and subsequently is
returned to the park still in violation of the rule stated in the
notice, management is not required to post any additional notice on
the vehicle, and the vehicle may be removed after the expiration of
the seven-day period following the original notice posting.
   (2) If a vehicle poses a significant danger to the health or
safety of a park resident or guest, or if a homeowner or resident
requests to have a vehicle removed from his or her driveway or
designated parking space, the requirements of paragraph (1) do not
apply, and management may remove the vehicle pursuant to Section
22658 of the Vehicle Code.

provided by the Department of Housing and Community Development, as
required by Section 18253.5 of the Health and Safety Code.

sustained by a homeowner or resident for violation of this section.
   "Emergency," for purposes of this section, means the interruption
of utility service resulting from an accident or act of nature, or
cessation of service caused by other than the management's regular or
planned maintenance, repair, or replacement of utility facilities.
