Recreational vehicles, watercraft, commercial vans and trailers over seven feet tall must be set back five feet from side and rear lot lines and screened from neighbors and the street by a six-foot fence.
The Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance treats height as the trigger for oversized-vehicle rules. Under Sec. 40-661(g), recreational vehicles and watercraft over seven feet in height, when stored outside a garage, must be at least five feet from a side or rear lot line and screened from abutting property and the street right-of-way. The screen must be a living fence or an opaque wood, brick, vinyl or masonry fence at least six feet tall. Commercial vans and trailers over seven feet must meet the same setback and screening standard. Garage doors housing such vehicles may not exceed 14 feet.
Non-compliant storage is a zoning violation enforced by Inspection and Code Enforcement through administrative adjudication, with corrective orders and fines.
