Additional restrictions may exist for your neighborhood in private covenants attached to the deed of your property.  Check your subdivision covenants or contact your Home Owner's Association to find out if there are additional restrictions.

The City does not enforce subdivision covenants.  Subdivision covenants are private land use restrictions that must be enforced through the Home Owner's Association or by individual home owners.
