Brighton Town RV parking at a glance

| Street parking | Not established by this RLA storage clause. |
| Loading | Driveway less than 72 hours is excluded from open storage; no blanket loading permission inferred. |
| Sleeping / utilities | No sleeping or utility permission established. |
Measure both length and height
Section 203-2.1(B)(5) describes outdoor storage for camping trailers, boats and certain other trailers at no more than 24 feet long and six feet high. It separately directs camping trailers, RVs, self-contained motorhomes and boats exceeding either threshold into enclosed buildings or off site. Because the small-equipment allowance does not expressly name motorhomes, this checker does not infer an outdoor-storage permission for a small motorhome. Confirm classification with the Town.
Use a screened rear-yard location
For qualifying outdoor storage, the cited RLA clause requires the rear yard and separation from lot lines of at least 10 feet, with a fence or other suitable screening that reduces visual impact on adjacent residences. The code uses “not within 10 feet”; this conservative checker refers exactly ten feet for local confirmation and only gives its limited conditional result above ten feet. The RLA rule is not automatically applicable to other districts, and this storage rule does not establish sleeping, utility or street-parking permission.
Count time across a four-day period
The section says open storage begins at 72 hours within any four-day period after the equipment is on site. It says equipment in the driveway less than 72 hours is not open storage. Add all time on site in the relevant four-day period; a brief departure is not treated here as resetting the clock. For a proposed stay below 72 hours the checker returns unknown, since an exemption from this storage definition alone is not general parking approval. At 72 hours the storage standards apply.
Who to contact for your setup
Confirm your exact address, vehicle class and proposed use with the municipal zoning or police office. Other laws and private restrictions remain applicable.
Use the Brighton Town parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
