NEW BUSINESS:PARKING RESTRICTIONS
Do we want to opt-in to the city’s ordinance to prohibit a person from parking a motor vehicle in the front or side yard of a residential property except in the driveway or a paved parking space depicted on an approved site plan (which is usually shown on a subdivision plat) for a period of 3 years? This is in Section 12-5-29 of the City Code.
