Chapter 7.20

MOTOR VEHICLES – REGULATION OF STORAGE AND REPAIR[2 ]

The purpose of this chapter is to reduce fire hazards, alleviate police problems, prevent unsightly neighborhood nuisances, and restrict nonresidential uses of residential property by regulating out-of-doors storage, repair, or dismantling of vehicles and conveyances in residentially zoned areas.

(1991 code § 8-40.1; Ord. 558 § 1, 1985)

Except in a driveway, carport, garage or other area lawfully designated for parking or storage of vehicles, no person may park or store or permit the parking or storing of any vehicle on private property within any residentially zoned area in the city unless it is enclosed so that no portion of the vehicle is visible from public property or the public right-of-way and does not violate other provisions of this code.

(1991 code § 8-40.2; Ord. 562 § 1, 1985)

No person may build, repair, grease, or dismantle a vehicle upon a public street. Temporary emergency repairs may be made upon a public street. (1991 code § 8-40.3)
