A. “Inoperable motorized vehicle” means any car, truck, van, recreational vehicle, motorcycle, snowmobile or other vehicle typically powered by an engine, excepting watercraft, that has been in a stationary position for more than 14 calendar days, is apparently inoperable or requires repairs in order to be operable, or is unable to move a distance of 20 feet under its own power on a flat surface. “Inoperable motorized vehicle” may include vehicles that do not meet the definition of junk vehicle.

B. An inoperable motorized vehicle will be considered a public nuisance unless contained entirely within an enclosed building. It is provided, however, that one inoperable motorized vehicle may be allowed on residential property, outside of an enclosed building, if it is stored in the rear yard of the property and is screened from the neighboring properties and any street by a 100 percent sight-obscuring fence. It is further provided that in the R-R rural residential zone more than one inoperable vehicle may be allowed outside of a building, so long as the property on which the inoperable motorized vehicles are located consists of at least one acre of property per inoperable motorized vehicle; provided, that in no case shall there be more than five inoperable vehicles outside of buildings on any size of property. (Ord. 5747 § 2, 2003.)
