It is hereby found and determined that the parking or storage of vehicles, trailers, airplanes, boats, or building materials within the required front yards required under and pursuant to applicable laws of the City creates a fire hazard; constitutes a nuisance per se; constitutes an attractive nuisance to children; creates a traffic hazard in that it obscures vision of cross traffic at corners; cuts off light and air from adjacent buildings; detracts from the attractiveness and investment opportunities within the City and lowers property values therein; and defeats the purposes of this title.
