The City Manager, or designee, may issue a permit for street parking of a recreational vehicle or recreational trailer to any resident within the City for the purpose of loading, unloading or other related activity incidental to preparing the recreational vehicle or unattached trailer for travel or returning from travel. With such a permit, a recreational vehicle or recreational trailer may be parked on a public street or right-of-way within 100 feet of the permittee's residence for a period not exceeding 72 consecutive hours.
