§ 3345.163. Purpose.

Latest version.

Most residential lots in the city are served by central sewer and water and tend to be between 33 and 60 feet wide and between 100 and 120 feet deep. Improper outside storage results in rat and rodent harborage, mosquito and other insect breeding, "attractive nuisances" of a hazardous nature, spillage of hazardous materials, environmental degradation, unsightliness, and a disincentive for neighboring property owners or occupants to maintain their properties.

Although the Zoning Code provides for customary home occupations, residential garages, storage of boats and recreational vehicles, and parking, and facilitates proper storage by allowing utilization of a storage shed of less than 169 square feet without a building permit, the code must define and prohibit certain nuisance storage activities deleterious to residential districts. The purpose is not to prohibit uses in a yard area which are normally associated with residential use; but, instead, to increase the yard's use, enjoyment, and compatibility with its neighbors.
