thank you for contacting SeeClick Fix for informatio on boat parking outside houses in driveways (domestic equipment). Below is the Code that addresses this issue. I hope this answers your question.
16.40.100.5. - Domestic equipment parked, placed, or stored on neighborhood zoned property.
A.
No person shall park, allow to be parked, place, allow to be placed, store, or allow to be stored more than two pieces of domestic equipment on neighborhood zoned property outside a legally constructed fully enclosed structure. Any domestic equipment parked, placed, or stored on neighborhood zoned property outside a fully enclosed structure shall not exceed 35 feet in overall length, shall not exceed eight feet in width and shall not exceed 12 feet in overall height. Whenever a piece of domestic equipment is parked, placed or stored on a trailer specifically designed to transport or carry the domestic equipment, this condition shall be counted as one piece of domestic equipment for purposes of this subsection.
B.
Domestic equipment may be parked, placed or stored inside any legally constructed fully enclosed structure which meets the regulatory requirements of the zoning district.
C.
A person may park, place or store domestic equipment outside a fully enclosed structure provided all of the following conditions are met:
1.
The equipment is parked, placed or stored in the rear yard, in the interior side yard, or in the allowable buildable area for a principal or accessory structure; however, it shall not be parked, placed or stored in the front yard, in the street side yard, or in the buildable area to the front of the principal structure.
2.
When parked, placed or stored within any buildable area between the street side yard and the side of the principal structure, or within 50 feet of any street right-of-way, measured from the edge of the traveled road bed, equipment must be shielded from view from the street right-of-way by a solid six-foot high fence. Any portion of the required six-foot high shielding may also be accomplished with maintained vegetation forming a solid hedge. Any gate used to comply with this shielding requirement must also be solid, six feet high, and be kept closed whenever the equipment is not being moved through the gate. When any shielding is required, it must be located on the property where the equipment is stored, and the location, height and construction of the shielding must comply with all applicable ordinances and laws.
3.
When parked, placed or stored adjacent to an alley, the equipment must not impede the visibility for vehicles entering the alley from adjacent driveways.
4.
No equipment shall be in a waterfront yard except one boat is allowed to be placed or stored within any waterfront yard only when provisions exist to place the boat directly in the water from its location or storage place.
5.
Equipment cannot obstruct any door, window or other opening of a dwelling which provides light, air, entrance to or exit from a dwelling.
6.
Equipment must be in sound condition, good repair and free of deterioration or damage.
D.
Limited exceptions: On the following days and times, domestic equipment may be temporarily parked or placed to the front of the principal structure or outside of any required shielding, provided the equipment does not impede visibility for motorists and does not block any portion of the public sidewalk or roadway:
1.
From Monday 8:00 a.m. through Thursday 4:00 p.m. for no more than four consecutive hours, and
2.
From Thursday, 4:00 p.m. until Monday 8:00 a.m.
E.
Each item of domestic equipment observed in violation of this section is a separate violation subject to a separate fine and each day that the observed violation continues to exist is a separate violation subject to a separate fine.
F.
If any piece of domestic equipment is fitted with liquified petroleum gas or other volatile liquid containers, such containers shall meet all local, state, and federal standards. In the event that leakage is detected from such container, immediate corrective action must be taken by the property owner or equipment owner to make proper and safe repairs.
