Parking Exemptions

  • A neighborhood may be exempted from the overnight parking requirement by the City Council if it is determined the area has inadequate off-street parking.

Can I park on my lawn?

Parking any vehicle on lawns, sidewalks or in parkway areas is prohibited by the Municipal Code. This is also generally true of storing abandoned, wrecked, dismantled, unregistered or inoperative vehicles on either private or public property. Make a complaint about a vehicle parked on a lawn.

Can I park my recreational vehicle at my home?

Recreational vehicles may be parked in your driveway providing:

  • There is no direct vehicular access to either your side or rear yards
  • The RV does not protrude into the sidewalk or street
  • Such vehicles may NOT be occupied for living purposes
  • The number of vehicles allowed is limited to those owned by the occupant of the dwelling.
