The City of Eaton Rapids desires to regulate the storage of motor vehicles on private
property as an essential element of the well being of the community while placing
no burden on the primary intended use of motor vehicles as transportation. The city
deems that the storage of motor vehicles in violation of this division adversely affects
the public health, safety, comfort, convenience, morals, aesthetic quality, and general
welfare of the community, based upon a factual finding that the outside storage of
dismantled, inoperable, and/or unregistered motor vehicles frequently results in the
following conditions: Attractive nuisances that can endanger the safety of the community's
children and youth; vandalism to the motor vehicle itself as well as to other private
property in the vicinity; accumulation of other junk, refuse, and trash upon the premises;
detraction from the aesthetic quality of residential neighborhoods and commercial
districts; encouragement of nonresidential uses of residentially zoned property.
