Fair enough, admittedly the question was half rhetorical. In my limited experience, the text of local laws and ordinances often matters a lot less than what a few officials and committees decide they can get away with interpreting them to mean, and what your neighbors and random busybodies can get away with doing to make life unpleasant for anyone doing something they personally don’t like. Half the time when I try to look up a local rule it either doesn’t exist in any published form, or is barely grammatical, or conflicts with some other local rule, or changed but the change was never properly implemented, or is phrased broadly but interpreted narrowly, or is phrased narrowly but interpreted broadly. Other times, especially when renting, someone’s insurance company makes up a rule that doesn’t exist anywhere in code or law but gets enforced anyway.
I don’t know, sorry!
