Where storage is listed

Section 69.10 lists side and rear yards of residential lots, enclosed garages and designated trailer parks. This is not an unrestricted front-yard or driveway allowance; confirm the exact yard classification and other applicable rules.

Count occupancy across the month

The human-occupancy limit is more than 10 days in a month in any residential district. A new visit does not create a fresh ten-day allowance within that month. Ten days or fewer is not complete occupancy approval.

Current plates and enclosure

RVs or trailers without current license plates may not be parked or stored on any lot except inside completely enclosed buildings. Screening, a fence or an open carport does not establish this exception.

Public streets have separate restrictions

The selected private-lot checker does not approve street parking. Chapter 69 also addresses time limits, designated no-parking locations and snow-removal operations. Check posted restrictions and current conditions before parking.

Utilities and unsupported sites

The source clause does not establish utility-connection permission or approval for commercial storage. Outside city limits, unconfirmed residential zoning and vehicles outside the RV definition need separate review.

Source edition and limits

The official City Hall page links the November 24, 2025 file, containing the October 2025 supplement to the code adopted April 4, 2023 by Ordinance 52-23. Section 69.10 supplies the selected rules. Later September and October 2026 agendas were checked; discussion of a camper on a lot is not an enacted amendment. Confirm any unposted changes with the city.

Who to contact for your setup

Contact the city through its official source page with the address, vehicle, placement and intended activity before relying on any exception.

Use the Bouton parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
