Judy and Ed Craine said they have been parking their Hyundai for 36 years when they received the fine, which then forced them to park on San Francisco's steep hills.bans motor vehicles of all kinds from being parked on a carpad or setback in front of a house unless a garage or cover accompanies it. After some deliberation -- and the discovery of a blurry 1938 photo that potentially shows a horse-and-buggy pulling into the driveway of the home -- the planning department legalized parking on the lot. The Craines can continue to park in their spot without penalties or fines thanks to the old photo, which allowed them to be grandfathered into the use of their carpad.
“San Francisco is the country’s second densest major city, and we pride ourselves on our vibrant, walkable, sustainable neighborhoods,” Sider told ABC News. “The design and use of a property’s street frontage plays an important role in supporting those goals, so our rules prioritize entryways, stoops, greenery, and landscaping in front setbacks rather than new parking spaces.”
