Occupancy periods and permits
Ordinary RV occupancy on a lot may not exceed ninety days in a calendar year. A separate permit is required for each thirty-day period, and the permit must identify the times of occupancy. Count prior occupancy and the proposed stay together. An application or an available permit form is not an issued permit. Campgrounds with suitable central water and sewage facilities have a separate approval route, so their rules are not imported into a home lot.
Setbacks, additions and sewage
An occupied RV must observe principal-structure setbacks for its zoning district. Do not substitute a generic accessory-building distance. Roof-overs, decks, enclosed or covered porches, screened enclosures and other accessory structures are prohibited under this route. Factory-produced awnings attached to the RV are specifically allowed. The applicant must document sewage disposal meeting Township requirements. That is not permission to discharge wastewater on the ground or make unapproved electrical, water or sewer connections.
Unoccupied storage and street loading
Under the occupancy provision the RV is allowed on the lot only when occupied. This guide does not turn that clause into a universal prohibition on all separately authorized vehicle storage, nor does it authorize leaving the RV indefinitely after the occupancy period. Ask the Township about the separate unoccupied-storage route. Public-street parking, loading, vehicle maintenance, emergency access, floodplain rules and private restrictions remain separate questions.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask Chestnuthill Township planning or zoning staff to confirm the parcel, vehicle class, exact placement and any approval. Ask the road authority separately about the proposed street. Check private restrictions and obtain utility approvals before connecting services.
Use the Chestnuthill Township parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
