Temporary paving does not remove the lawn restriction

Section 9-28 expressly covers motorhomes, RVs and campers. It prohibits parking directly on a residential lawn, on blocks, or on a temporary surface such as gravel, bricks or pavers located on that lawn.

Keep access clear

The same section prohibits blocking a sidewalk and parking on a barrier curb. Parking between the curb and residence is restricted to the driveway, but that does not waive other rules or approve occupancy.

Street rules are separate

Section 9-30 has a 3 a.m. to 5 a.m. public-street and alley restriction with guest-overflow and hardship processes. Section 9-29 has a resident/guest motorhome exception to its large-vehicle provision. Neither is automated here. The linked April 2026 amendment concerns penalties; no outdated fine amount is quoted.
