Analysis
This ordinance amends the Metropolitan Code of Laws to prohibit any vehicle with a length in excess of twenty feet or a dump truck of more than 54,000 pounds of gross weight to be parked on any street or alley within the jurisdiction of Metro between sunset and sunrise.
Under the current Metro Code provision, no school bus, recreational vehicle in excess of twenty feet, or dump trunk of more than 54,000 pounds of gross weight may be parked on any street or alley within the jurisdiction of Metro between sunset and sunrise. This provision was amended in May 2021 by Ordinance No. 2020-493, which reduced the length of prohibited recreational vehicles from twenty-four feet to twenty feet. The ordinance under consideration extends the prohibition from recreational vehicles only to any vehicle.
