4(C)(3) of the Columbus, Georgia Unified Development Ordinance sets the residential yard-parking framework a commercial vehicle has to fit inside. Subsection (A) bars parking any vehicle in a front, side, or rear setback except on a driveway or other approved surface, and (B) allows only two narrow exceptions: temporary yard parking for a social event, capped at eight hours in any 24-hour period, and temporary yard parking for the duration of a driveway or home renovation. 10 of the Code of Columbus,' a provision of the Traffic chapter's parking article that sits outside this UDO source file.

That means a homeowner checking whether a work truck, trailer, or piece of equipment can sit in the driveway has to read both codes together: the UDO's yard and setback rules in (A) and (B) still govern where on the lot a commercial vehicle may sit, while the separate Code of Ordinances section carries the substantive standard for which categories of commercial vehicles and construction equipment are allowed in a residential district at all. 4(C) framework requires ordinary residential parking to stay on the same lot as the home under (C)(1), and lets a driveway itself count as the required off-street parking for one-, two-, three-, and four-family dwellings under (C)(2), as long as the driveway is long enough to meet the Article's space requirements.
