Are there any restrictions on parking vehicles on residential property?
The parking of personal vehicles in operable condition is permitted as an accessory use to a dwelling unit. Such parking may occur within a garage or carport or may be located in the front, side or rear yard of any lot. In most residential districts, there are no locational limitations for parking personal vehicles and/or creating driveways/parking pads within the front and side yards of a lot. However, in the R-1, R-2, R-3 and R-4 Districts on lots for single family dwellings containing an area of 36,000 square feet or less, all vehicle and trailer parking must be located on a surfaced area in the front yard, and there is a limit on the amount of surfaced area that can occur in the front yard. In the R-1 and R-2 Districts, no more than 25% of any front yard and in the R-3 and R-4 Districts, no more than 30% of any front yard can be a surfaced area used for a driveway or vehicle/trailer parking. There are exceptions to these limitations. The specific limitations and exceptions are set
