Where residential equipment can stand
Section 1292.17 permits storage in a carport or enclosed building, or behind the nearest part of a building to a street. Actual loading or unloading allows other residential placement for no more than 24 hours. This is a placement exception, not a recurring camping allowance.
Five-foot buffer and exceptions
Section 1292.19 normally keeps vehicles and recreational equipment at least five feet from adjoining property lines, except under §1262.08(c). That schedule includes two-foot rules for side-load-garage driveways and supplemental paving between the front lot and building lines, plus an Appendix A reference. Those parcel-specific exceptions need local interpretation; the checker does not approve them.
Sleeping and project limits
Living, sleeping and housekeeping in this equipment on a residential lot are prohibited. A storage location does not approve new structures, pavement, hookups or public-street parking. The current publisher displays 2026 S-38; the city links that publisher. The 2026 ordinance list also contains development and short-term-rental moratoria, so a new development or special-use proposal needs separate current review.
Who to contact for your setup
Confirm the parcel and proposal with the local building or zoning office. This limited check is not a permit or a complete legal approval.
Use the Avon parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
