The town’s updated parking requirements for commercial and recreational vehicles take effect on Jan. 1.
Under changes in Florence’s town code, residents no longer will be allowed to park RVs or boats in their front yards.
At its Monday, Oct. 17, meeting, the Florence Town Council voted in favor of changes to the town code concerning property maintenance issues and public nuisances within the community.
Chapter 93 of the Florence Town Code primarily addressed littering. Now, it has been rewritten to include the storage and parking of recreational vehicles and watercraft at residential properties as public nuisances.
Under the amended code, residents “shall store the vehicle and watercraft in an enclosed area so that the vehicle and watercraft are not visible from any point outside the land. A vehicle or watercraft cover is not an enclosed area,” according to the amended code.
