NAItIZATIVE
The proposed revision to UDC section 11-3C-4 is requested by the Code Enforcement Division
of the Meridian Police Department. As written, recreational vehicles that are parked in the street
yard are a violation of City Code, even where they are parked in the driveway or on another
improved surface. This code change would allow recreational vehicles (including both motor
homes and travel trailers) to be parked in the street yard so long as they are parked on an
improved surface.
In addition, the definition of trailer is new and the definitions for vehicle, recreational vehicle,
and personal recreation item have been modified to be consistent with the proposed changes to
UDC 11-3C-4.
