11. Would you like to share any additional comments about recreational and commercial vehicle parking in residential areas, driveways, side yards and/or rear yards. 1 Different vehicles need different restrictions. 2 Restrictions need enforceable criteria for conditions (operable, clean, etc). 3 Types of surfaces (other than paved) allowable for storage & parking need to be addressed - not grass. 4 Need to differentiate between parking & storage; include allowance for, say, visitors. 5. Need to address neighborhoods/areas with narrow streets where larger vehicles would adversely affect normal movement & emergency vehicle access. 6. Enforcement is paramount!

11. Would you like to share any additional comments about recreational and commercial vehicle parking in residential areas, driveways, side yards and/or rear yards. Survey is setup as all or NONE. GVW should be considered, but it needs to be higher. Trailers, RV, Boats should be behind the front of the house and NOT right up on the neighbors house. Where in the driveway. Sure there should be a restriction on the size, reasonable, but on a driveway behind the front of the house Are tractor trailers allowed? So many questions. There are uglier things that could be in the driveway. question of what some like or think is aesthetically acceptible

11. Would you like to share any additional comments about recreational and commercial vehicle parking in residential areas, driveways, side yards and/or rear yards. RVs and commercial vehicles should not be lumped in the same category. A commercial vehicle may be just as unsightly as an RV, but is often essential to the livelihood and profession of a resident. An RV or boat are by definition optional, and it is not unreasonable for a community to insist they be stored out of sight for for the benefit of the neighborhood’s quality of life. Also: define ‘commercial’ vehicle beyond GVW; many residential pickups and SUVs weigh more than 7500 lb

11. Would you like to share any additional comments about recreational and commercial vehicle parking in residential areas, driveways, side yards and/or rear yards. The city does not enforce this code until there have been multiple complaints by neighbors. People are wary of conflict and will not complain about vehicles that devalue their neighborhood and living experience in Norfolk. The city needs to regularly patrol neighborhoods and enforce code violations without complaints from neighbors. Code violations remain in place for years without action from the code enforcement dept.
