A.

No off-street parking space shall be used for any purpose other than parking of vehicles or for seasonal snow storage (see Section 17.60.120.E.). No obstruction shall be placed on any off-street parking space which may interfere with its utility as a parking space. If an off-street parking space is converted to another use or can no longer be used for off-street parking space, it shall be replaced immediately by another off-street parking space meeting all of the requirements of this chapter.

B.

In residential districts no truck exceeding two and one-half ton capacity, no truck-tractor or semi-trailer, earth moving equipment or other similar vehicle, object or machine which conflicts with the residential character of a neighborhood shall be parked or stored on any subdivided lot or within the public right-of-way or roadway, or for living or housekeeping purposes. Exceptions to this section are vehicles which may temporarily be conducting business within residential districts.

A recreational vehicle is permitted only on a driveway or adjacent and parallel to a driveway on a single-family residential lot, or in the paved parking lot of a multi-family residential community. In a single-family residential district, the recreational vehicle must be parked on the side of the driveway closest to the property line, or close to the house within the side yard, space permitting. If parked in the side yard, the recreational vehicle shall not extend past the house's front building line, excluding porches and/or stairs.
