Parking and living are separate questions
Article XII covers RVs, boats, trailers and motor vehicles across the village zoning districts. Section 305-90(I) prohibits occupying these vehicles for living purposes while parked on private property.
Where an unoccupied vehicle may park
Sections 305-90(A) and (B) limit parking to approved spaces, areas or lots, with a driveway exception for premises improved only with a one- or two-family dwelling. Lawns, sidewalks and undeveloped areas are not ordinary parking locations. This guide does not turn that exception into complete parcel approval.
Ask about the actual proposal
A driveway must still satisfy applicable surface, access and other requirements. Legal nonconforming parking has a separate provision. Confirm the parcel and any claimed existing rights before relying on a parking arrangement. This checker handles the private-property living prohibition, not every parking condition.
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 street, overnight-visitor, utility or unoccupied-storage approval. Village new-laws page showed a construction-code amendment, not an amendment to this parking article.
Use the Cayuga Heights parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
