Bentley RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Public street | Direct preparation only, up to 72 continuous hours unless a written permit applies. |
| Driveway | Confirm that the actual storage position is behind the front setback. |
| Residential yard | One unit behind the front setback; additional units need an enclosed building or rear yard. |
| Sleeping or living | Ten consecutive days, advance written notice and other conditions; special longer-use approval is separate. |
Street loading is not long-term storage
Street RV parking is limited to direct loading, unloading or preparation for transport or use, for no more than 72 continuous hours. For another purpose or a longer period, show good cause to the governing body and obtain a written permit from the City Clerk.
Residential storage and extra units
One unit of major recreational equipment may be stored behind the front setback at a residence. Additional units need an enclosed building or enclosed rear yard. The listed equipment includes boats, boat trailers, travel trailers, pickup campers or coaches, camping buses, converted trucks and tent trailers.
Corner lots
Equipment on a corner lot must be clear of the sight triangle of both streets. A fence or a paved driveway does not waive this condition.
Temporary living and notice
Temporary living, sleeping, cooking or housekeeping is limited to ten consecutive days, behind the front setback. The owner must give adequate written notice at City Hall at least two business days beforehand. Longer use needs specific approval by the governing body or expressly authorized staff in emergency or extraordinary circumstances.
Utilities and running motors
Utility arrangements are subject to manufacturer standards and discretionary city inspection and approval. The published sewer sentence is incomplete; obtain city clarification rather than treating it as hookup permission. External propane tanks other than OEM tanks are barred. An RV may not be parked on the street or within 300 feet of a residence with a vehicle or refrigeration motor running so as to create a nuisance.
Scope and verification
The signed 2019 ordinance remains specifically linked by the current city code index. Confirm later changes, setbacks, vehicle definitions and any written permit with the city. This guide does not screen all traffic, zoning or safety rules.
Who to contact for your setup
Before relying on an exception, ask Bentley City Hall to confirm city jurisdiction, the applicable vehicle classification, later amendments and any permit or utility requirements. A mailing address is not proof of city jurisdiction.
Use the Bentley parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
