Can I store an unused RV on private property?
§315(9)(a) permits unused RV storage on private property, excluding sidewalks, and requires consistency with the Zoning Ordinance. Storage does not authorize routine sleeping, security-office use or a permanent dwelling. Confirm the actual parcel placement, access and zoning conditions before treating a stored unit as compliant. Read the official source and its limits.
What is the ordinary temporary-use clock?
Subsection(d) counts days or parts of days. Outside an RV park, temporary living or other nonstorage use cannot exceed seven consecutive days/partial days, or seven days/partial days in one calendar month, without City Manager approval and a permit. A move between positions does not create an extra monthly allowance. Read the official source and its limits.
Can I host one occupied RV on each of several lots?
No under the ordinary ownership limit. An owner may allow only one RV in use other than storage across all real property they own in the City, regardless of acreage or number of tracts. Partial ownership also counts. This is not simply one occupied RV per lot. Read the official source and its limits.
Does the code protect an old full-time RV use?
Subsection(b) describes current-at-adoption users continuing on the same tract with the same RV and continuous use, with an independent City water account, direct separate City water/sewer connections, and its own 911 address. Those historic facts and the applicable adoption date require document review; a newly connected RV does not establish a legacy right. Read the official source and its limits.
Can an RV house someone after their home is destroyed?
Subsection(c) provides a separate temporary permit route after a residence is burned or otherwise damaged so it becomes uninhabitable. The stated six-month period runs from the damaging event, and requires application for a temporary permit. No disaster or permit is assumed from ordinary guest answers. Read the official source and its limits.
Which RVs are prohibited on an ordinary local street?
§12.04.010 reaches the listed trucks, buses, RVs, recreational equipment and trailers with carrying capacity above 1.5 tons, or length above 25 feet, or width above 8 feet, or height above 8 feet. Any one over-threshold fact triggers this specific rule on a public street that is not also a state roadway. Exactly those values do not exceed them. Read the official source and its limits.
Can a driver load a larger unit at the curb?
The street provision preserves actual loading/unloading of goods, wares or merchandise with the vehicle accompanied by a driver, and only the necessary actual time. It is not a time allowance for unattended storage or repairs. Other access and sign rules still apply. Read the official source and its limits.
How much moving-traffic space is needed?
§12.04.005 requires at least 15 feet of clearance for moving traffic even during loading/unloading. Alleys must not be blocked, and habitual motor vehicle parking beside another person’s residential property is separately restricted. A unit under the dimensional thresholds still needs all remaining rules. Read the official source and its limits.
