<br /> (2) (Parking regulated.] Parking of recreational vehicles, mobile homes and utility trailers shall be
<br /> regulated as follows:
<br /> a. It is unlawful for any person to park a mobile home or recreational vehicle upon public property for
<br /> human habitation
<br /> b. It is unlawful for any person to park or store a utility trailer, mobile home, recreational vehicle in
<br /> any "R" district for more than 24 hours, except in a side or rear yard at least five feet from any
<br /> property line.
<br /> c. It is unlawful to use a mobile home or recreational vehicle for human habitation on any private
<br /> property for more than 72 hours without a permit from the city.
<br /> (3) Vehicle storage. All vehicles parked or stored on any property within the city shall be operable and
<br /> currently licensed. The parking of vehicles, other than recreational vehicles, in "R" districts is regulated
<br /> as follows:
<br /> a. Parking of vehicles other than recreational vehicles, with a maximum gross vehicle weight (GVW)
<br /> of 14,000 pounds or less is allowed in all "R" districts.
<br /> b. Parking of vehicles in "R" districts in excess of 14,000 pounds GVW has the potential to create
<br /> negative impacts on the surrounding neighborhood. These impacts may include noise (from
<br /> operation as well as maintenance of vehicle); vibration; glare; odors; soil/water contamination
<br /> (from dripping, washing, etc.); hazards to pedestrians by way of proximity, especially on private
<br /> roads; wear and tear on local or private roads; propensity to offload remaining cargo on site at
<br /> end of day; and visual incompatibility with the character of a neighborhood. Such use may be
<br /> acceptable under certain conditions in zoning districts where lot areas are generally two acres or
<br /> larger. Therefore, parking of such vehicles requires each of the following conditions be met:
<br /> 1. Property owner must be vehicle owner or operator.
<br /> 2. Vehicle must be set back 50 feet from property lines.
<br /> 3. Vehicle must not be visible from neighboring properties and public streets; vegetative
<br /> screening is preferred.
<br /> 4. Maintenance of said vehicle shall occur within an enclosed building.
<br /> 5. The vehicle shall not constitute a nuisance at any time.
<br /> 6. In a shared driveway situation, the applicant shall demonstrate that the appropriate
<br /> easement exists.
<br /> 7. Minimum lot size of five acres. For any property at least two acres but less than five acres
<br /> in area, where it can be shown that prior to the effective date of this section such a vehicle
<br /> was previously stored on a regular basis prior to and after January 1, 2004, a vehicle
<br /> storage permit may be granted if the above conditions a. through f. are met, subject also to
<br /> the following limitations:
<br /> i. A vehicle storage permit may only be issued for properties within the RR-1 B, RR-1A,
<br /> and LR-1A zoning districts.
<br /> ii. Such permit shall be granted only to the current property owner and only for the
<br /> specific vehicle applied for. The current owner may replace the vehicle in kind, but
<br /> shall not add other such vehicles. Any replacement vehicle must be registered with
<br /> the city within 30 days to transfer its permitted status.
