§ 4-5.1223.1 ON-STREET PARKING OF RECREATIONAL VEHICLES IN RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS.
(A) Definition. For the purpose of this section, the following definition shall apply unless the context clearly indicates or requires a different meaning.
RECREATIONAL VEHICLE. Any boat, camp trailer, fifth wheel trailer, tent trailer, travel trailer, utility trailer, camper, motorhome, camper van, travel coach, bus, pickup truck with cabover camper, dismounted camper body, personal watercraft, or any empty trailer intended for or capable of carrying any of the above.
(B) Findings. This code, in the preceding section, already prohibits the parking of certain oversized vehicles in residential zoning districts. This section is intended to apply to other vehicles of similar character, which the Council finds are creating similar adverse impacts in residential neighborhoods, including sight distance when backing from driveways, obscuring children and pets moving into the street area, reducing property values and aesthetic concerns.
(C) Location. When on-street parking of a recreational vehicle is authorized by this section, the parking shall occur only where contiguous with property owned or occupied by the recreational vehicle owner or operator.
(D) Prohibition. No person shall park any recreational vehicle, as defined, on any street in any residential district except when such recreational vehicle is being actively loaded, unloaded, cleaned or repaired, and then for a period not to exceed 24 hours.
(E) Exception; permit. An exception to the prohibition in this section may be made when and if the recreational vehicle owner or operator obtains from the Police Department a permit for temporary parking. The permits shall be issued at no cost upon request during regular business hours and shall authorize the parking of the recreational vehicle for a period not to exceed 72 hours from the time indicated on the permit. The permit shall be displayed prominently on the recreational vehicle. The Police Department may issue up to four such temporary parking permits per residential address in any calendar year, but the permits shall not be issued for concurrent hours of parking. At least 72 hours shall elapse between the issuance of permits.
(F) Warning notice. Prior to the issuance of the first citation to a recreational vehicle or its owner or operator for violation of this section, an advisory notice shall be issued which notifies of the provisions of this section.
(G) Penalty. The penalties, fines and methods of enforcement for this section shall be as authorized by this code.
