(A) The provisions of this section shall not apply to vehicles held for restoration or rebuilding provided that the owner has obtained a vehicle restoration permit from the city. Such permit shall be for a period of 90 days, renewable in 90-day increments for a period not to exceed 360 days. Such permit may be renewed by the City Manager or his or her designee if, in his or her judgment, the permit holder has made a good faith effort toward restoring or rebuilding the permitted vehicle. Only one permit may be issued for each residence at a time. Such permit shall be issued only upon presentation to the city by the owner of such vehicle of:
(1) Title or registration document;
(2) Location where vehicle is to be stored and where restoration or rebuilding will be done;
(3) Proof of residency at location where vehicle is to be stored;
(4) Statement of intended cost and estimate schedule of such restoration or rebuilding including completion date;
(5) Any other such information required; and
(6) Payment of permit fee.
(B) The applicable fee for a vehicle restoration permit to cover the permits processing, administration, and investigation shall be established by the City Council by resolution.
(C) Possession of a valid vehicle restoration permit shall allow the holder to store the permitted vehicle for restoration or rebuilding and one additional disabled vehicle of similar make and model for parts. Such vehicles may be stored in the side and rear yard, not to encroach beyond the main structure’s front building face, provided a distance of ten feet from the main structures and three feet from the side and rear lot line is maintained. In addition, said vehicles combined with all other accessory structures shall not exceed 25% coverage of required rear yard size as delineated in Chapter 154, plus 20% of the non-required yard size. Storage of such vehicles shall be screened from public view from a street and adjoining properties by an enclosure consisting of a wall or fence equal in height to the vehicles, equipment, and all materials stored therein; provided that such wall or fence shall not measure less than four feet, six inches in height from the surface of the adjacent building footing. Such vehicles shall also be considered adequately screened if the frame or body of such vehicles is completely, 100% covered by a properly secured opaque tarp.
(D) All restoration or rebuilding work on permit vehicles shall be performed within a completely enclosed accessory structure.
(E) Any permit issued hereunder may be terminated immediately by the City Manager should he or she determine that a health hazard exists.
