Full Breakdown
Sec. 170 relies on the broad definition of 'recreational vehicles' in Sec. 010, covering boats, snowmobiles, watercraft, racing vehicles, off-road vehicles, utility trailers, motor homes, travel trailers, truck campers and camping trailers, and bans parking or leaving any of them standing on a city highway within a residential district. The only relief is a narrow, time-boxed exception: an RV may be parked or left standing directly in front of the owner's residence, or in front of a residence being visited with the resident's permission, for a period of not more than 72 hours, and only twice a month, and only for the purpose of loading, unloading or cleaning the vehicle.
Notwithstanding that exception, an RV parked inside the boundaries of the city's neighborhood preservation overlay zone is subject to whatever additional requirements the Code imposes there, so the twice-a-month allowance is not guaranteed citywide. Separately, subsection (b) lets the city post signs limiting RV parking on any city highway to two hours in a single day; that two-hour rule does not apply inside residential districts, where the flat prohibition in subsection (a) already controls. City code enforcement handles citations under subsection (d), and no citation for either restriction can issue unless the qualifying signs required by subsection (c) have actually been posted, consistent with Vehicle Code Sec. 22507. Amendments in 2015 and 2019 (Ord. Nos. 15-05 and 19-03) refined these thresholds without changing the core residential ban.
Violations & Fines
An RV, boat, trailer or camper parked in a residential district beyond the 72-hour, twice-monthly exception is subject to citation by city code enforcement under Sec. 10.20.170(d). No citation may issue for the two-hour highway restriction in subsection (b) unless the required signage has been posted; violations are processed as infractions under the chapter's general Sec. 10.20.220 penalty schedule.
