Full Breakdown
Under § 114-56(b), no motor vehicle may be parked, displayed or stored on any grass, gravel or other unpaved surface in a residential zone, or on agricultural-zoned subdivision lots under an acre. The single exception is one grass parking space, no larger than 9 by 19 feet, in the required front setback next to the driveway, entered only from the driveway and placed opposite the home's main entrance. If that grass space ruts or loses its cover, the owner must pave it. A $50.00 permit lets a homeowner pave a driveway extension instead, capped at 40 percent of the front yard.
Violations & Fines
Unpaved-parking violations are parking offenses fined under § 1-9 via the division's general fines clause, § 114-55; the planning commission may grant hardship variances, § 114-56(e).
