It is unlawful for any person to park or store a utility trailer, mobile home, recreational vehicle in any "R" district for more than 24 hours, except in a side or rear yard at least five feet from any property line. c. It is unlawful to use a mobile home or recreational vehicle for human habitation on any private property for more than 72 hours without a permit from the city. (3) Vehicle storage. All vehicles parked or stored on any property within the city shall be operable and currently licensed. The parking of vehicles, other than recreational vehicles, in "R"districts is regulated as follows: a. Parking of vehicles other than recreational vehicles, with a maximum gross vehicle weight(GVW) of 14,000 pounds or less is allowed in all "R" districts. b. Parking of vehicles in "R" districts in excess of 14,000 pounds GVW has the potential to create negative impacts on the surrounding neighborhood. These impacts may include noise (from operation as well as maintenance of vehicle); vibration; glare; odors; soil/water contamination (from dripping, washing, etc.); hazards to pedestrians by way of proximity, especially on private roads; wear and tear on local or private roads; propensity to offload remaining cargo on site at end of day; and visual incompatibility with the character of a neighborhood.
