Hello Beaver Hills Resident,

I believe the zoning ordinance you're looking for is ARTICLE IV, Section 29(c). It reads as follows:

(𝙘) 𝙉𝙤 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙨𝙥𝙖𝙘𝙚 𝙨𝙝𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙗𝙚 𝙡𝙤𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣 𝙖𝙣𝙮 𝙧𝙚𝙦𝙪𝙞𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙩 𝙮𝙖𝙧𝙙, 𝙚𝙭𝙘𝙚𝙥𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩: 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙨𝙥𝙖𝙘𝙚𝙨 (𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙡𝙤𝙨𝙚𝙙 𝙤𝙧 𝙣𝙤𝙩) 𝙢𝙖𝙮 𝙗𝙚 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙢𝙞𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙚 𝙡𝙤𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣 𝙖 𝙧𝙚𝙦𝙪𝙞𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙩 𝙮𝙖𝙧𝙙 𝙗𝙮 𝙨𝙥𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙖𝙡 𝙚𝙭𝙘𝙚𝙥𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝙨𝙪𝙗𝙨𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 63(𝙙) 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙤𝙧𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙪𝙥𝙤𝙣 𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜, 𝙖𝙢𝙤𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨, 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙨𝙪𝙘𝙝 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙨𝙥𝙖𝙘𝙚𝙨 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙣𝙚𝙘𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙖𝙧𝙮 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙬𝙝𝙞𝙘𝙝 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙣𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙚𝙙, 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙘𝙖𝙣𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙗𝙚 𝙥𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙡𝙤𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙚𝙡𝙨𝙚𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙡𝙤𝙩, 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙞𝙧 𝙡𝙤𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣 𝙖 𝙧𝙚𝙦𝙪𝙞𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙩 𝙮𝙖𝙧𝙙 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙙𝙚𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙩𝙮 𝙫𝙖𝙡𝙪𝙚𝙨 𝙤𝙧 𝙘𝙖𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙫𝙚𝙝𝙞𝙘𝙪𝙡𝙖𝙧 𝙤𝙧 𝙥𝙚𝙙𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙞𝙖𝙣 𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙛𝙛𝙞𝙘 𝙝𝙖𝙯𝙖𝙧𝙙𝙨 𝙤𝙧 𝙨𝙪𝙗𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙙𝙚𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙤𝙥𝙚𝙣 𝙖𝙨𝙥𝙚𝙘𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙩, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙨𝙪𝙘𝙝 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙨𝙥𝙖𝙘𝙚𝙨 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙡𝙮 𝙨𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙙 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙬𝙞𝙨𝙚 𝙖𝙧𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙙 𝙞𝙣 𝙖𝙘𝙘𝙤𝙧𝙙𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙧𝙚𝙦𝙪𝙞𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙤𝙧𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚.

Part (b) also appears to be relevant, but I didn't want this posted comment to be too long.

You can read the entire ordinance here:

I hope this information helps.

I’m not a city official, but believe this is the city policy:

https://library.municode.com/ct/new_haven/codes/zoning?nodeId=ZOOR_ARTIVREDIGEPR_S29PA

Article 4, residential Districts, Parking 29.c

No parking space shall be located within any required front yard,
except that: parking spaces (whether enclosed or not) may be permitted to be located within a required front yard by special exception under subsection 63(d) of this ordinance upon finding, among other things, that such parking spaces are necessary to the use with which they are connected, that they cannot be practically located elsewhere on the lot, that their location within a required front yard will not depreciate property values or cause vehicular or pedestrian traffic hazards or substantially decrease the open aspect of the street, and that such parking spaces are properly screened and otherwise arranged in accordance with the requirements of this ordinance

Hi Jane,

We just posted the same exact information. Looks like we're teammates, but I beat you by 3 minutes...LOL.

Tommy, Yes. LOL. Here’s a question for you. I believe garbage/trash toters must be stored in side yard or back yard —not front yard—but cannot confirm this. Do you know? Thanks

In general, garbage toters should be stored out of view on private property.

Jane,

Nope, I remember looking for the same information a few years ago, but I was no more successful than a one-legged cat trying to bury its turds on a frozen pond.

The closest ordinances I could find about storage locations for trash toters were the following:

https://library.municode.com/ct/new_haven/codes/code_of_ordinances?nodeId=TITVHOCO_ARTIIISTREDW_PAR._306DUOCDIRUGA

The information must be somewhere, and I just can't believe I can't find it. So, as Yoda said to Luke Skywalker, "𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙞𝙨 𝙬𝙝𝙮 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙛𝙖𝙞𝙡."

Sorry, I couldn't be more helpful. I'll still look for the information every once in a while.

Oh, I just saw the comment from LCI Citywide Helper. I believe LCI is correct, but still, I would love to see some kind of official documentation that states the information.

And... I am sure that the rule is you can only have one unregistered vehicle parked on your property even if it is in the back. More and more junk cars are piling up in people's yards around the greater Dwight neighborhood and citywide. It is very bad. Toxic stuff starts leaking onto the soil. Everything from raccoons to rats, snakes, and cats takes up residence in abandoned yard cars. The people need help from the city to get these vehicles towed away along with other bulk trash. This is a huge quality of life issue in New Haven. Also, residents need to be educated about what is permitted. Billboards, public service announcements, and other info need to be shared more frequently.

The Codes overlap somewhat. Public Space and Streets as well as Housing Code are involved:

Under Housing Code Title V
Paragraph 300 (d)Rubbish and garbage disposal. Every dwelling unit shall be supplied with adequate rubbish storage facilities and with adequate garbage disposal facilities or garbage storage containers whose type and location are approved by the enforcing officer. It shall be the responsibility of the owner to supply such facilities or containers for all dwelling units in a dwelling containing two (2) or more dwelling units. In all other cases, it shall be the responsibility of the occupants to furnish such facilities or containers.

Chapter 30-3/4 Solid Waste
Items are not to be placed on the curb for collection earlier than twelve (12) hours before the next scheduled collection. The containers are to be removed from the curbside area within twelve (12) hours of collection. Containers shall not be located as to interfere with the public right of way.

Thanks so much, LCI Citywide Helper. So, it looks like the main points on the subject of the storage of solid waste containers & recycling containers are as follows:

"...𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙖𝙜𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙬𝙝𝙤𝙨𝙚 𝙩𝙮𝙥𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙡𝙤𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙙 𝙗𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙚𝙣𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙘𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙛𝙛𝙞𝙘𝙚𝙧."

"𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙨𝙝𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙗𝙚 𝙡𝙤𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙖𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙛𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙪𝙗𝙡𝙞𝙘 𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙬𝙖𝙮."
