Use the actual recreational-storage exception
Section461-3(A) allows travel trailers used for occasional travel, camping and outings, ordinarily unoccupied, on a residential lot where the trailer owner occupies the residence. The term can include towed or self-propelled vehicles, but the City should confirm the classification.
Extended dwelling is a different proposal
Section461-2 ordinarily confines covered mobile homes and dwelling-use travel trailers to licensed mobile-home parks. Section461-3 provides separate Council permits for temporary location and occupancy up to90 days, with extensions requiring application and hearing. These are not automatic guest permissions.
Owner land alone is insufficient
The owner-occupancy exception in461-3(B) still requires Council review and approval. Legacy mobile-home locations and licensed parks are outside this ordinary storage check. Confirm setbacks, access and other property requirements before placing the vehicle.
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. Only ordinary recreational storage exception; no extended dwelling, legacy mobile-home, park or utility approval.
Use the Charleston parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
