Parking RVs on the Streets - this law became effective on May 13, 2004 and provides that:

> RV?’s may be parked on the street in front of the RV owner?’s home for no more than two consecutive days for the purpose of loading or unloading only.

> A visiting non-city resident may park in front of a residence for up to 7 days with permission of the homeowner and with a permit issued by the Police Department.

> A total of 6 permits may be granted throughout the year for any single address.

> Violations of this law will prohibit the issuance of any further permits for that address for the remainder of the year.

> Additionally, please note that existing law prohibits the parking of non-motorized vehicles such as trailers when detached from the towing vehicle.
