In no event shall any such vehicle be parked, stored or placed in the front or side street yard area within a residential zone.

Repairing or dismantling vehicles. The repairing, redesigning, modifying or dismantling of any vehicle in the City, unless the same is accomplished in a fully enclosed building, except for repairs of an emergency nature which shall be completed within a forty-eight-hour period, or unless the same is in compliance with City regulations and used in connection with a legally zoned business conducted at the premises.
