303. Emission of contaminants prohibited.  No person shall cause to be emitted into the atmosphere from any motor vehicle powered by gasoline or any fuel except diesel any visible air contaminant for a period greater than five (5) seconds, excluding emissions that are a direct result of cold-engine startup.

304. Idling prohibited.  It is unlawful for any person to operate or cause or knowingly permit to be operated in any residential district in the City, except on a state highway, any motor of a motor vehicle which weighs twelve thousand (12,000) pounds or more, manufacturer's gross vehicle weight, or any combination of motor vehicles towed by such motor vehicle, which remains stationary for a consecutive period longer than five (5) minutes.

305. Violation.  It is unlawful and a nuisance for any person to operate or to permit operation of any motor vehicle in violation of this Part 3.

(1)   When a vehicle is found to be in violation of this Part 3, a summons and complaint shall be served on the owner or operator thereof, requiring an appearance in Municipal Court.

(2)   If, prior to the court appearance date, the motor vehicle which is the subject of the summons and complaint is repaired and found to be in compliance with this Part 3 after a test conducted by the Department, the summons and complaint shall be dismissed by the Municipal Court without further proceedings. 

(3)   The Municipal Court may, upon request, extend the compliance period for repair and testing of a motor vehicle for a period not to exceed fifteen (15) days from the date of the initial appearance for arraignment.

(4)   If the owner of the motor vehicle presents an affidavit that the motor vehicle has been disposed of and will no longer be operated on the streets or highways, together with the registration card and number plates of such vehicle, the summons and complaint shall be dismissed without further proceedings.

(5)   In addition to any other remedy provided by this Code, a violation of this Chapter may be abated as a nuisance pursuant to Title 8 of the Greenwood Village Code.

306.  Enforcement of State requirements. 

(1)   It is unlawful for the owner or person in charge of any motor vehicle, which is required by the state to be inspected pursuant to the automobile inspection and readjustment program established pursuant to C.R.S. §§ 42-4-306.5 to 42-4-316, to drive, stop, park, or to cause or knowingly permit such motor vehicle to be driven, stopped or parked, on any street or highway within the City, unless such vehicle has been inspected at an authorized inspection station and, if required, has attached thereto, in proper position, a valid and unexpired certification of emissions control as required by state law.

(2)   At the time a person is issued a summons and complaint charging a violation of this Section, the officer so charging may offer to give a penalty assessment notice to the person being charged, if known.  Such notice shall contain all of the information required by subsection (4) hereof.  If the person accepts the notice, such acceptance shall constitute an acknowledgment of guilt for a violation of this Section, and a promise to pay a penalty assessment of thirty-five dollars ($35.00) to the City's traffic violations bureau, either in person or by mail, within twenty (20) days from the date of the violation.  Acceptance and payment of the penalty assessment shall be deemed complete satisfaction for the violation.

10.04.080        Red-light cameras.

A.        The City is hereby authorized to use red-light cameras at signalized intersections within the City to detect violations of Section 603 of the Model Traffic Code.

B.         As used in this Section, "red-light camera" means a device operated by a peace officer or by a contractor designated by the City that is placed in a fixed location at a signalized intersection and that is programmed to automatically produce a photograph of any vehicle whose driver has violated Section 603 at that intersection. 

C.        The photograph produced by a red-light camera shall depict the vehicle's location, license plate, and driver.  Printed on the photograph shall be the date of the violation, the approximate time of the violation, the approximate location of the violation, and the speed of the vehicle.

D.        When a peace officer, based on evidence obtained in whole or part by means of a red-light camera, has probable cause to believe that a vehicle has been driven in violation of Section 603, the peace officer may issue or cause to be issued through a contractor designated by the City, a summons and complaint charging the person in whose name the vehicle is registered with a violation of Section 603.  If, however, the vehicle is registered in more than one person's name, the summons and complaint shall be issued to the registrant who the issuing peace officer determines, under all the facts and circumstances, was the person most likely depicted in the photographs produced by the red-light camera.  The summons and complaint shall contain the signature, or reasonable facsimile thereof, of the peace officer issuing the summons and complaint.

E.         To obtain personal jurisdiction in the Municipal Court over the charged person, a copy of the summons and complaint must be personally served upon the charged person, or, in lieu of such personal service, by leaving a copy of the summons and complaint at the charged person's usual place of abode with some person over the age of eighteen (18) years residing therein, or by mailing a copy to the charged person's last know address by certified mail, return receipt requested, within ninety (90) days after the alleged violation occurred and not less than five (5) days prior to the time the charged person is required pursuant to the summons and complaint to appear in court.  The person charged may waive service of the summons and complaint by voluntarily submitting to the Municipal Court's jurisdiction, through payment of a fine or other affirmative act constituting a waiver of service.

F.         When a person is served with a summons and complaint under this Section, the person shall:

1.         If admitting the charge, complete the summons and complaint form by providing his or her driver's license number and other information requested in the form, and return the completed form, together with payment of the fine assessed, to the Municipal Court on or before the time specified in the summons and complaint for the charged person to appear; or

2.         If contesting the charge, appear on the date and time specified in the summons and complaint for arraignment.

G.        Proof that a particular vehicle violated Section 603 as detected by a red-light camera and as shown by the photographs produced by the red-light camera, together with proof that the particular vehicle is registered in the charged person's name, shall raise the evidentiary presumption and constitute prima facie evidence of the fact that the charged person was the person driving the vehicle depicted in the photograph.  However, such evidence and presumption may be rebutted by the presentation of any probative and competent evidence that the charged person was not the driver shown in the photograph.  The City may not require a registered owner of a vehicle to disclose the identity of a driver who was detected through by the use of the red-light camera.  However, the owner may be required to submit evidence that the owner was not the driver at the time of the alleged violation.

H.        In any proceeding under this Section, any photograph produced by a red-light camera concerning the violation shall be admissible in court as prima facie evidence of a violation of Section 603, provided that the peace officer who activated and tested the red-light camera prior to the photographs being taken testifies as to the placement of the red-light camera and the accuracy of the scene depicted in the photographs, and further testifies that he or she tested the red-light camera for proper operation within a reasonable period of time both before and after the taking of the photographs.  Also, to be admissible, the photographs must be of a sufficient quality to permit identification of the driver of the vehicle.

I.          In any proceeding under this Section, the Municipal Court may impose as an additional cost the cost of service of the summons and complaint upon the defendant, if such service is effected through either certified mail or personal service.  The Municipal Court may impose the actual cost of such service if the cost is reasonable and does not exceed the amount actually charged for service.

J.          The maximum penalty for a violation of Section 603 that is detected by a red-light camera, including surcharge, shall be seventy-five dollars ($75.00).  No portion of any fine collected for a violation discovered by a red-light camera may be paid to the manufacturer or vendor of the red-light camera.  The compensation paid by the City for such equipment shall be based on the value of such equipment and may not be based upon the number of traffic citations issued or the revenue generated by such equipment.  The City shall not report to the Department of Revenue any conviction, entry of judgment, outstanding judgment, or warrant based on a violation of Section 603 which was detected exclusively by means of a red-light camera.  (Ord. 2005-22)
