Garfield requires that vehicles on residential lots be parked on designated paved surfaces, prohibits yard parking, and sets a 5-foot setback from the street right-of-way.
Chapter 226 governs parking on private property in Garfield. On lots containing residential dwellings, including multifamily and garden apartment properties, parking of all motor vehicles must be on designated paved surfaces, and parking in a yard is strictly prohibited. Vehicles parked in a front yard area must not be located closer than 5 feet to the right-of-way line of the street. Zoning regulations also restrict parking in required front yards and on interior streets or access drives for certain multifamily and townhouse districts.
Property owners and drivers face municipal fines and possible towing for parking on unpaved surfaces, in yards, or within the 5-foot setback area.
