Barrington RV parking at a glance

|---|---|
| Storage | Rear yard, approved paving/screening; two combined covered vehicles. |
| Public parking or loading | Front preparation: 48 continuous hours in ten days; street unresolved. |
| Occupancy | No stored vehicle occupancy. |
Combined count
Section 4.10-4(C) limits exterior recreational, commercial and occupational vehicles to two combined. Ordinary storage belongs in the rear yard on a driveway or approved hard surface.
Setbacks and screening
Vehicles must remain outside extended required side setbacks. A rear yard adjoining another side yard must respect that district’s side setback. Approved screening is a six-foot fence/wall or hedge at least six feet high. The area must stay neat.
Preparation and habitation
Front-yard seasonal preparation cannot exceed 48 continuous hours in any ten-day period. Stored vehicles cannot be occupied or used for habitation; visibly disrepaired vehicles must be indoors. Enclosed buildings, special approvals and driveway construction require separate compliance.
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. No site-plan, enclosed, street, utility or nonconforming approval.
Use the Barrington parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
