Night parking on City streets
Section 13-204(c) addresses trailers, campers, boats, RVs and motor homes from sunset to sunrise. The section begins with a posted-sign condition. The Police Chief may issue a temporary permit covering a designated vehicle, location and time; hazards or nuisance may lead to revocation.
The occupancy definition starts at four days
Section 6-901(e) defines occupancy as living, sleeping, cooking or eating for four or more consecutive days. Do not treat a shorter stay as automatically allowed:6-906(c) separately calls for a permit before outside-camp placement.
Outside-camp occupancy requires the temporary permit
Under 6-906(a), occupied RVs generally belong in a camp. The exception is a permitted period not exceeding 30 days. Section 6-906(c) describes a written application, City Clerk approval and payment before placement; it requires the location, reason, intended duration and utility details.
Permits do not replace site and utility checks
The application must identify buildings and the proposed RV location, and any utility connection must follow applicable code. A Police Chief street permit does not establish that the occupancy permit is issued, and vice versa. Licensed camps have separate operating standards.
Know what this guide does not approve
Unoccupied yard storage, repairs and campground operation are outside this selected checker. The temporary permit is not a permanent residential approval. Missing facts and claimed exceptions remain unresolved.
Source coverage
The hosted Clerk certificate records adoption of the 2016 code and its November 23 effective date; the edition is current through 05-2025, November 10,2025. The City agendas for August 10,August 31 and September 14,2026 were screened. They mention a 2026 Standard Traffic Ordinance update but do not establish its outcome. The current City Code menu button points to a notification page, so it is not used as evidence of a working code link.
