17-7-1.7 Parking.
A. All residential lots shall provide a minimum of two improved off-street parking spaces for personal automobiles in a driveway, garage or carport, or in the side or rear yard. The driveway shall be paved with concrete or asphalt and shall have a maximum width of twenty feet, or forty percent of the lot frontage, whichever is greater. This measurement shall be taken at the drive approach and sidewalk. The paved driveway may extend an additional ten feet in width behind the sidewalk. Parking in the side or rear yard shall be improved with concrete, asphalt, concrete pavers or gravel. Parking areas surfaced with either concrete pavers or gravel must be maintained to ensure no weeds grow in these areas. With the exception of the driveway and approved side yard parking, no other portion of the front or side yards shall be surfaced or used for parking. At no time shall parking occur on any landscaped area.
B. Storage of individual recreational vehicles (RVs), travel trailers, boat trailers and utility trailers shall occur in an improved off-street location a minimum of five feet behind the sidewalk. No portion of the RV or trailer, or anything attached to the RV or trailer, shall extend closer than five feet to the sidewalk. This includes, but is not limited to, hitches. Parking in the side or rear yard shall be improved with concrete, asphalt, concrete pavers or gravel. Parking areas surfaced with either concrete pavers or gravel must be maintained to ensure that no weeds grow in these areas. With the exception of the driveway and approved side yard parking, no other portion of the front or side yards shall be surfaced or used for parking. At no time shall parking occur on any landscaped area.

D. Off-street parking, as required herein, must be installed within six months of occupancy, change of occupancy, or notice of violation. Parcels existing at the time of the adoption of the ordinance codified in this section for which the installation of two off-street parking spaces is impossible due to lack of front or side yard area adequate for the installation of off-street parking spaces in accordance with Midvale City standards are exempt from the off-street parking requirements only to the extent that compliance is impossible. A parcel exempted by this section must install as much off-street parking as possible. (Ord. 2022-03A § 1 (Att. A); Ord. 2021-19 § 1 (Att. A); Ord. 2016-11 § 1 (Att.
