Full Breakdown
Section 430-25 of the Township Code, added 12-12-1978 by Ord. No. 78:28, sorts commercial vehicles by rated capacity. A commercial vehicle of a rated capacity exceeding 3/4 ton cannot be stored or parked outdoors on a residential lot in a residential zone for a period of time greater than is required to complete a business transaction. A delivery or service call fits inside that window; keeping the vehicle on the lot does not.
A resident gets one exception. One commercial vehicle of a rated capacity not exceeding 3/4 ton can be parked or stored on a residential lot in a residential zone if it is owned or used by a resident of the premises. The exception covers a single vehicle, and it has to belong to or be used by someone who lives there.
Subsection C, added 3-14-2000 by Ord. No. 2000:7, covers recreational equipment. The outdoor storage of trailers, recreation vehicles and boats is prohibited in the front yard in all residential districts. The prohibition is written for the front yard, and § 430-25 prints no separate rule for side or rear yards.
Related rules. Section 430-17 provides that no driveway accessory to a business or industrial use can be established in any residential zone. Chapter 430 is administered and enforced by the Administrative Officer or his designee, who inspects premises that might be in violation and orders conditions remedied in writing (§ 430-294). Penalties are set in § 430-299, and each day a violation continues counts as a separate violation under § 430-298.
Violations & Fines
Leaving a commercial vehicle rated above 3/4 ton on a residential lot past the time needed for a business transaction, or storing a trailer, recreation vehicle or boat in a residential front yard, violates § 430-25. Under § 430-299 a conviction carries one or more of a fine of not less than $100 and not more than $2,000 for each violation and each day, jail up to 90 days, or community service up to 90 days.
