The parking, storage or display of any goods, wares, merchandise, motor vehicles, materials, supplies or other objects or vehicles on any premises or lot in front of the building line or within forty feet of the street line if there is no established or authorized building line, shall be prohibited unless expressly authorized by the Planning Commission upon its specific finding that such encroachments will not hinder the lawful use or enjoyment or diminish the value of abutting premises and that such encroachments will not have an adverse effect on either the general character of the adjacent neighborhood or the value of properties located therein.

Any existing use of any premises or lot in a manner contrary to the provisions of this section shall be terminated within a period of six months from the effective date hereof (Ordinance 2987-1969, passed September 22, 1969) unless such use is authorized by the Planning Commission as hereinbefore provided. Nothing herein shall apply to the temporary parking of motor vehicles upon a driveway adjacent to any residence structure.
Enforcement of this section shall fall under the jurisdiction of the Safety Department.
Nothing herein shall be interpreted as authorizing any use stated in this section where the use is already controlled or prohibited by the Zoning Ordinance and Zoning Map or other City ordinances.
