| Occupancy | No sleeping, recreational or living use under the storage allowance. |
One vehicular dwelling, storage only
Section320-79 addresses residential dwelling lots in residential districts and permits one vehicular dwelling for storage only. It expressly excludes sleeping, recreational or living use. Ask the Zoning Officer to confirm that your RV falls within that local classification.
Registration and parking design still matter
Section320-77 restricts outdoor storage of vehicles or trailers lacking current required license plates and inspection stickers, with an enclosed-building route and an exception for equipment not normally used on highways. Section320-73 also addresses access, all-weather surfaces and district-specific parking locations.
Plan the position before storing
In R1/R2 districts off-street parking must be behind the building line; new R3 parking generally must be behind buildings with the specified access. Keep required parking available and confirm the exact district and any existing rights. The checker identifies the one-unit/storage-only restriction but does not approve the full parking layout or street parking.
Who to contact for your setup
Confirm the exact address and proposal with the local planning or police office. This limited administrative screening is not a permit or complete legal approval. Only the residential storage-only allowance is screened; no broad approval.
Use the Adamstown parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
