Cheektowaga Town RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Driveway / yard | Unlicensed RVs require completely enclosed residential storage. Licensed outdoor placement needs separate confirmation. |
| Street / loading | Residential street size limits and separate town/county-road time rules apply. Ordinary loading is not blanket permission. |
| Sleeping / utilities | Not established by storage or street parking provisions; obtain separate approval. |
Residential storage
Section 260-23 allows storage of occupant-owned house or camping trailers for personal use, subject to the rest of the zoning chapter. It does not give every motorhome the same classification. Section 260-28J separately requires unlicensed RVs and listed trailers to be inside a completely enclosed building in residential districts. A cover, fence or open carport does not meet that enclosure description. A valid registration resolves only this restriction; confirm the actual location, zoning and other placement requirements.
Street size and time
On residential streets, section 235-38 prohibits vehicles longer than 225 inches including load and bumper, wider than 80 inches measured by the body, or higher than 81 inches measured from the underside of the tire. Emergency or police-directed stops, specified public-service vehicles and adjacent-property pickups, deliveries or services have separate exceptions. Town highways and county roads also have a limit of 24 consecutive hours. Seasonal 1–6 a.m. restrictions, alternate-side rules and posted restrictions remain separate. A trip-loading activity is not automatically an adjacent-property service exception.
Sleeping and connections
An unoccupied-storage provision does not approve guest sleeping, ongoing residence, utility hookups or work on the RV. Confirm those uses separately before occupying or connecting it. The Town zoning and traffic chapters exclude Sloan and Depew. Their rules, and the rules for state roads or specially approved parks, must be checked separately. Private covenants, easements and leases can impose additional restrictions.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask Town Building Inspections and the road authority to confirm parcel zoning, road jurisdiction, vehicle class, exact placement and intended use. Confirm any exception before relying on it.
Use the Cheektowaga Town parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
