Ordinance drafted to ban parking of vehicles and trailers in residential yards
Summary
The Safety Committee packet includes Ordinance No. 26‑xxx to amend City Code §152.033 to prohibit parking vehicles, watercraft, trailers or major recreational equipment in front, side or rear yards of residential properties; the packet includes the ordinance text but no recorded Council vote in the materials provided.
Wadsworth officials circulated a draft ordinance that would ban permanent or temporary parking of vehicles, watercraft, trailers and major recreational equipment within front, rear or side yards of residential properties, excluding approved gravel or paved driveways.
The ordinance text (No. 26‑xxx) states the amendment would replace existing §152.033 and declares the change an emergency measure that would take immediate effect if two‑thirds of council members vote in favor; if approved by a simple majority but fewer than two‑thirds, it would take effect at the earliest time permitted by law. The packet cites required publication under Ohio Revised Code section 731.21 and compliance with section 121.22 regarding open meetings. The provided materials do not record a sponsor name or the outcome of any council vote.
If adopted as drafted, the change would make parking of trailers and similar equipment in residential yard areas a code violation unless the vehicle is on an approved driveway. The ordinance text is included in the Safety Committee packet for consideration; next procedural steps (introduction at committee, council readings, or a recorded vote) are not specified in the provided document.
