Council to consider stricter restrictions on parked vehicles in yards
Summary
Ordinance No. 26-067 would amend Wadsworth Codified Ordinance 152.033 to prohibit parking vehicles, watercraft, trailers and major recreational equipment in front, rear or side yards (excluding approved driveways); sponsor cites alignment with Ohio Revised Code public hearing requirements.
Ordinance No. 26-067, sponsored by Council Member Jon Yurchiak, would amend Section 152.033 of the Codified Ordinances to prohibit permanent or temporary parking of vehicles, watercraft, trailers or major recreational equipment within front, rear or side yards of residential premises, excluding approved gravel or paved driveways. The ordinance packet lists the change as an emergency measure intended to update public hearing requirements to match the Ohio Revised Code.
The ordinance text in the packet states the measure would repeal the existing section and replace it with the new prohibition language. The council packet shows the ordinance at second-reading stage; the certificate of publication language is included in the packet. The packet does not include proposed enforcement language or a crosswalk to related nuisance or property-maintenance provisions.
If the council advances the amendment, enforcement details and any exemptions (for example, temporary guests or on-street parking alternatives) would normally be clarified in subsequent committee discussion or by amending language before final passage. The council packet includes the ordinance text and the publication certificate signed by the Clerk of Council.
