Center City RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Count trailers and carried vehicles | The quoted route limits countable outdoor items to four. A vehicle on an open trailer counts separately, and the trailer also counts. The clause’s 22-foot wording should be clarified for the actual vehicle; the checker does not resolve that classification. |
| Front and side yards | Front placement requires an established driveway entirely on the vehicle/equipment owner’s property. Side placement must abut a garage and stay five feet from the side line unless properly screened. |
| Rear yards and corners | Rear storage requires ten feet from the rear boundary, five feet from side boundaries, and no drainage/utility easement intrusion. The separate corner-lot paragraph specifies twenty feet from the side-street property line and no easement intrusion. The checker does not assume the other yard paragraphs also apply to corner lots. |
| Street parking, condition and living | The quoted RV storage route excludes public property and street right-of-way. Section 205.13(C)(3) generally requires unlicensed, unregistered or inoperable motor vehicles to be inside a lawful building. Outdoor storage is not approval for sleeping, hookups or residence. |
Can I store an RV at home?
Center City section 205.13 offers a conditional outdoor-storage route. Confirm the City address, district, vehicle category and any specific exception. Farms, commercial sites, overlays and special approvals need separate review.

Source dates and what remains open
The City links the hosted 2025 S-5 code, which states legislation through May 7, 2024. Its ordinance page warns later changes may not yet appear online. Council and planning indexes were checked, not every subsequent meeting or enactment. Confirm the current applicable rule before relying on this edition; a selected-rule result is not a complete zoning clearance.
Who to contact for your setup
Confirm the address, current rules and any exception with City Hall using the official links. The checklist does not issue an approval.
Use the Center City parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
