Street time, use and attached trailers
Section 11.02.004 limits motor-vehicle parking on a public street or public place to 48 continuous hours and prohibits sale display, advertising displays and repair except emergency repair. Section 11.02.005 separately prohibits an unattached trailer, semi-trailer or house trailer in a public street or public place. Attached-trailer compliance does not excuse violations by the towing motor vehicle.
Hydrants and the overnight weight rule
For §11.02.001, parking means standing more than three minutes on a public street; remain at least fifteen feet from a hydrant. Section 11.02.006 prohibits parking or leaving unattended ANYWHERE within city limits from midnight to 5 a.m. a vehicle with gross weight at least 24,000 pounds or trailer with gross weight at least 10,000 pounds. The heading mentions streets, but the operative text is citywide. Temporary city-authorized construction/maintenance exceptions need city-manager review.
Only the setback-area surface condition
Section 11.02.003 defines front and side setback areas by the FRONT STREET and SIDE STREET property lines and building setback lines. A vehicle there must use a clearly defined permanently constructed driveway serving the lot, or a permanently maintained brick, concrete or asphalt parking area satisfying zoning design standards. The city manager/designee may approve other materials that significantly reduce runoff. This screen does not approve such materials or replace the remaining zoning review.
