Full Breakdown
020(A) lists conditions the City declares nuisances, and paragraph 27 specifically bars the parking or storage of any derelict, unlicensed, or non-functional vehicle, trailer, boat, camper, or other recreational vehicle anywhere except inside an enclosed garage. Paragraph 28 goes further for all such vehicles, functional or not: parking or storing a vehicle, trailer, boat, camper, or recreational vehicle anywhere other than a 'durably paved surface,' which the ordinance defines as asphalt or concrete, is itself a nuisance. The one exception is a residence or business with a legally permitted gravel parking surface, which may use that gravel pad, but only for licensed and functional vehicles.
Because the two paragraphs stack, an inoperable RV or boat kept in a driveway is a nuisance twice over: once for sitting on anything short of a durably paved surface, and again for being derelict or unlicensed outside an enclosed garage. 070.

Keeping a boat, camper, trailer, or RV on grass, dirt, or unpermitted gravel, or keeping a derelict or unlicensed one anywhere but an enclosed garage, is a nuisance under Section 220.020(A)(27)-(28).
