What this is
This ordinance amends city code to add rules on temporary electrical installations and decorative shutter upkeep, tighten pest control requirements, update regulations for parking recreational vehicles and trailers on residential property, clarify rules on outside storage of certain items, require vegetation near sidewalks and rights-of-way to be managed, and update definitions and placement rules for junked and immovable vehicles.
Why it matters
These changes update what residents are required to do — or not do — on their own property regarding storage, parking, landscaping, and building upkeep, and violations could result in code enforcement action.
