Visibility and separate public rules
Reflectors or warning devices must make parked vehicles visible to drivers at night. Street parking is governed separately by Chapter 9.33, including a seventy-two-hour baseline and distinct notified-occupancy exception. This private-property checker does not decide public-street or lot use.

Who to contact for your setup
Confirm the exact address and proposal with the local planning or police office. This limited administrative screening is not a permit or complete legal approval. Ordinance 1628 of 2025 is incorporated in both private and street chapters. Later posted laws concern a franchise, personal mobility devices, and waste collection; this route excludes those activities. The personal-mobility PDF was inaccessible and was not retried. Water, sewer and other hookups are not approved.
Use the Othello parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
