Summary

A draft ordinance would amend Section 152.033 to prohibit parking of vehicles, watercraft, trailers and major recreational equipment in front, rear or side yards of residential premises (excluding approved driveways); it is presented as an emergency measure in the Council packet.

The Committee packet includes a draft ordinance to amend Section 152.033 of the Codified Ordinances, which would prohibit permanent or temporary parking of vehicles, watercraft, trailers or major recreational equipment within the front, rear, or side yards of residential premises except in approved gravel or paved driveways. The ordinance is presented as an emergency measure and is sponsored by an unnamed council member.

If adopted, the change would tighten yard parking restrictions by codifying a prohibition in the ordinance text; the draft includes standard emergency‑measure language and recites compliance with open‑meeting requirements in the Ohio Revised Code. The packet does not include legislative debate or public comment on the amendment; the item is listed for Council agenda review.
