The City of Chesapeake Zoning Ordinance defines major recreational equipment is as “including boats and boat trailers, travel trailers, pickup campers or coaches (designated to be mounted on motor vehicles), motorized dwellings, tent trailers, racing and recreational cars and/or motorcycles not licensed for use on public streets and highways; similar devices or structures; and cases or boxes and trailers designated or used for transporting recreational equipment, whether or not they contain such equipment”.
It is a violation of the Chesapeake Zoning Ordinance to store, on any property zoned or used for residential purposes, any motor vehicle or trailer which is inoperable or inoperative, unless such motor vehicle or trailer is stored within a fully enclosed building or structure, or otherwise fully shielded or screened for view.
