Full Breakdown
Section 18-5(A)(2) defines "recreational vehicle" to include a truck camper, travel trailer, camper trailer, private motorcoach, boat, boat trailer, ultralight aircraft, airboat, motorhome and park trailer. " That weekend window is the only regularly available way to keep a boat, camper or motorhome in a residential driveway overnight without violating the section. Outside that window, an RV can still be kept legally if it is fully screened from view inside a garage or a carport enclosed by a wall, opaque fence or continuous landscaping with a permanent roof matching the house, or if it belongs to a physically impaired owner certified by a doctor.
Owners cited under this section are liable for tickets unless they document within 15 days that someone else had custody of the vehicle, and the Coral Springs Police Department, Code Compliance Division or other authorized personnel issue the tickets, which are affixed to the vehicle.
Violations & Fines
A recreational vehicle parked in violation, outside the Friday-to-Sunday driveway pilot window or the garage/carport screening exception, draws a fine under Section 1-8.1 plus the section's $5.00 School Crossing Guard surcharge per ticket; refusing to sign a citation is a separate, arrestable violation under Section 18-5(F).
