(b) As authorized in this Section, van bodies, unlicensed semi-trailers, and tandem trailers may be used for storage in the following zoning districts: B-1, B-2, B-3, M-1, and M-2. Each van body, unlicensed semi-trailer or tandem trailer used for storage as authorized by this Section shall be placed in compliance with all setback, side yard or rear yard setbacks required of buildings for the applicable Zoning District.
(c) Any person desiring to use a van body, unlicensed semitrailer or tandem trailer for storage shall apply for an annual permit from the Administrator.
