The city finalized new rules on parking, fences and RV/boat storage, targeting vacant-lot storage and junkyard-like conditions. One resident asked for a one-year postponement, saying compliance would cost him thousands, but staff said the new rules would not change his situation and that enforcement only occurs from the roadway.
