Lima limits residential RV, trailer and watercraft parking. Recreational vehicles and boats must sit on an approved hard surface or in the rear yard, not on lawns or the treelawn strip, under Codified Ordinance 1806.14.
Section 1806.14 of Lima's Codified Ordinances governs where recreational vehicles and watercraft may be parked on residential premises. Non-rear-yard parking must be on a City Engineer-approved hard surface no larger than 400 square feet, holding at most one recreational vehicle or one commercial motor vehicle (or two motor vehicles/watercraft). If driveway space is insufficient, no more than one recreational vehicle may be kept in the rear yard. Parking on the treelawn (between street and sidewalk) or on the front/side lawn is prohibited. Residents needing extra space may seek an Off-Street Parking Permit from the Board of Adjustment.
Enforced as a property maintenance/parking violation under Part 18; notice to remove is issued, with continued citations until compliance.
