Driveway construction and parking on residential lots in Shenandoah must comply with Chapter 102 (Zoning) and building permit requirements. Parking on unpaved surfaces may violate property maintenance codes.
Shenandoah's Zoning Ordinance (Chapter 102) governs driveway design and off-street parking requirements for residential and commercial properties. The city has adopted the 2021 International Property Maintenance Code which addresses parking on unpaved or lawn areas.
